Newtownabbey

County Antrim

Just a metre from the sea, enjoy beach for miles, explore shipwrecks and walk the coastal path. Only 15 minutes from Belfast, you can experience a city break as well as a country retreat. Great base for exploring Carrickfergus & the North Coast. Once used to catch smugglers, the boathouse has been renovated but retains many original features. Sleeps 4 adults or a family of 5. Dog friendly. With it's own slipway, this is a favourite for wild swimmers and those who enjoy water sports.
