About Portbraddan Cottage

Listen to the waves crashing on the craggy shores from the comfort of this three-bedroom seaside cottage. Nestled in the western end of White Park Bay in the old fishing hamlet of Portbradden, you’ll have all-encompassing views of the beach and out towards the western cliffs of Rathilin Island. Portbradden Cottage has been tastefully decorated and comes complete with a crackling log-burner and a beach garden.

Drive 10-minutes to the thrilling Carrick-a-Rede rope bridge. If you’re bold enough to walk across the 100 ft high wobbly bridge, you’ll be rewarded with a bird’s eye view of green water flowing around the ancient caves and caverns below you.

Also close by is the iconic basalt columns of Giant’s Causeway. Join a guided tour or pick up an audio guide to discover more about this intriguing coastal landscape. There’s a visitor centre, café and shop here too.
