Port Tara is a large spacious home that can comfortably accomodate 12 guests. It is located in the picturesque village of Portballintrae close to Bushmills, the Giants Causeway and Dunluce Castle. It is ideally suited for gatherings of family and friends or equally attractive to golfing groups who wish to play the world renowned local courses. We recently catered for a number of international wedding parties looking for a base close to Dunluce Castle where they were holding their wedding ceremony.
Whether it is for a holiday, birthday, anniversary or a wedding celebration, Port Tara is perfectly suited for the occasion. It is a great base to set off and enjoy the delights of the North Coast.
The house consists of 5 deluxe bedrooms, 2 with large ensuites, 2 additional bathrooms, 4 reception rooms and a large fully enclosed back garden. There is plenty of space for a large group to spread out and relax.
There is parking for 6 cars on the drive and a 7kw EV car charger (chargeable at current electricity price) is provided for the convenience of guests.
Portballintrae is an idyllic village just outside Bushmills and 4 miles east of Portrush. It is close to both the Giants Causeway, Dunluce Castle and the world famous Bushmills distillery all within walking distance. This quaint fishing village, on the edge of a horseshoe bay, is lined with a modern hotel and private properties and drops down the cliffedge to its peaceful, working harbour and small beach. The harbour is a haven of activity at the weekends and throughout the summer with locals and visitors enjoying open water swimming, paddle boarding, boating and many other outdoor activities.
We are a pet friendly property, 2 well behaved dog are welcome, we ask that they are kept off the beds. Please advise at time of booking if you wish to bring a dog as there is an additional cleaning fee for pets.

For the keen golfers the 9 hole Bushfoot Golf Club is a few minutes walk from the house, offering stunning coastal views, it is a lovely course to play. Of course for the more serious golfing enthusiast Royal Portrush links golf course, host of the 148th British Open in 2019 and selected to host the 153rd British Open in 2025 is only 10 minutes drive away. 25 minutes drive will take you to Portstewart Golf Club with 3 fabulous links courses.

I cannot rate this holiday rental highly enough. Possibly the best I have ever stayed in. It was spotlessly clean and had everything you could possibly need. The attention to detail made it an absolute pleasure to stay in. The linen was luxurious and the showers were fabulous. The kitchen was incredibly well equipped. The location was perfect for everything. We cannot wait to come back again. Thank you Keith, you have been so incredibly helpful
