An ideal tranquil location for exploring the Causeway Coast attractions including the Giants Causeway, The Dark Hedges, Dunluce Castle, and much more Game of Thrones film locations. It is also within easy reach of the urban buzz of Belfast, Coleraine, and Londonderry/Derry. Ballycastle is 7 miles away with a great beach. The Ferns is a 1580 sq ft stunning 3 bedroomed self-catering property situated in a quiet cul-de-sac in Armoy village. It is within walking distance to all of Armoy village's local amenities including restaurants, and shops. It has a south-facing fully enclosed rear garden with amazing views of the countryside. It caters for up to 6 people with 3 bedrooms - 2 double (1 with en-suite) and 1 twin. It has a fully enclosed rear south-facing garden with a patio area and BBQ for outdoor dining and has beautiful countryside views which can be enjoyed in our garden or our cozy sunroom. The fully equipped kitchen has a dishwasher, microwave, coffee machine, sandwich maker, and juicer and the utility room has a washing machine and tumble drier. Complimentary WIFI; DVD player; smart TVs with Netflix in the living room, and two bedrooms; hairdryers are in every bedroom.
You are renting from a family who loves the Causeway Coast and Glens of Antrim and want to share this wonderful place with you. We love going for walks either along the coast or in the glens and we never get bored of visiting the local attractions especially the Dark Hedges and the Giant's Causeway. We also love sampling all the local produce in the abundant cafes and restaurants along the Coast. The quality of the food is amazing! Come and join in the fun of the Causeway Coast and Glens - Have fantastic adventures and create everlasting memories! We operate a self-check-in system. However, guests can contact us by telephone or email if they require our assistance and we can attend the house in person if required.
The Ferns is based in a quiet cul-de-sac in Armoy village. The local shops and restaurants are only a short walk away. The local shop is well stocked however there are larger supermarkets in Ballycastle and Ballymoney if required. The Armada Inn is a restaurant in the village. They also provide a takeaway service and have entertainment at the weekend (check their listings). Give them a call and tell them that you are staying in The Ferns - They will collect you and bring you to their restaurant and also drop you off at the end of the night. There are two play parks in Armoy village and there is also a peaceful river walk along the Bush River - great for an evening stroll after dinner. Many of the tourist attractions are within easy access by car from The Ferns:- The Dark Hedges - 7 minutes Giant's Causeway - 25 minutes Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge - 20 minutes The Gobbins Cliff Walk - 1 hour Glenariff Forest - 30 minutes Ballintoy Harbour - 18 minutes Cushendun Caves - 27 minutes Glenarm Castle - 46 minutes Dunluce Castle - 23 minutes Rathlin Island - 13 minutes to Ballycastle Harbour Ballycastle - 13 minutes Portrush - 25 minutes Belfast - 50 minutes Derry - 45 minutes
