About this house rental
This recently refurbished home located in the picturesque village of Portballintrae can accommodate 12 guests. 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 or for any other type of group looking for a base to set off and enjoy the delights of the North coast. We have also recently hosted a number of wedding partys who have been getting married at Dunluce Castle, just a few minutes from our house.
Consisting of 5 deluxe bedrooms, 2 with large ensuites, 2 additional bathrooms, 4 reception rooms and a large fully enclosed back garden the house provides plenty of space for a large group to spread out and relax.
A 7kw EV car charger is also provided for the convenience of guests.
We are a pet friendly property, a single well behaved dog is 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.
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.
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. Host of the 2017 Dubai Duty Free Irish Open. The winner Jon Rahm stated " the golf course is amazing, it's probably one of the most beautiful golf courses I have ever seen, if not the most."
Port Tara has a strictly no smoking policy.

Port Tara offers beautifully furnished and spacious living areas.There was a selection of games etc and choice of sitting areas which works well for a familyThe kitchen has space to eat with another dining room in the bungalow. The well planned kitchen was well equipped with a huge range of crockery, cutlery, glassware and cookware. The appliances are brilliant. Everywhere is spotlessly clean.Comfortable bedrooms with excellent bath and shower rooms.The garden is spacious, private and secure with a brilliant gas and charcoal BBQ.Lots of parking space.The bungalow is only a few minutes from the beautiful sandy beach.We knew as soon as we opened the front door that Port Tara was going to be a wonderful place for us to stay. We definitely hope to return soon.A huge thankyou to Keith and Tara for thinking of everything to make Port Tara such a perfect place to stay.Valerie kirk

Really nice home with nice backyard. Stayed here with family. 8 adults and 2 children. It was perfect. Just a 5-6 minute walk to the beach and a nice hotel bar restaurant. We would definitely stay here again. The owner provided good communication.
Needs- bigger pots in the kitchen! And this home could use some area rugs around the beds and hallways for comfort and noise control.
Overall a wonderful holiday home!
