The Studio Helen’s Bay Luxury Seaside Cottage - 5 minutes walk from beach
10/10 Excellent
"We had a lovely stay during this fall at “The Studio“ which was wonderful for two of us to spend a relaxing week away. Sara is a hostess extraordinaire! She provided us an excellent guide book of recommendations for getting around town & even had a semi-stocked kitchen waiting for us as we checked in a bit late. All the essentials to make us feel at home: Irish butter, milk from a local dairy, fresh pressed apple juice, homemade granola, jams, bacon, tea and coffee.Helen’s bay is a charming, quiet area between Belfast & Bangor. Probably more ideal if you have a car, however we made do on foot just fine. We’ll be returning soon for another happy time by the sea!"
Edwardian Beach Villa in Whitehead, Beach Front Period Edwardian Villa
10/10 Excellent
"Absolutely beautiful property! From the amazing Edwardian home (tall tall ceilings, lovely windows looking out over the water, wainscoting, gracious doors, renovated kitchen and bathrooms) to the stunning location: all A plus! Did I mention the fresh baked loaf of bread, butter, jam, milk and eggs all waiting for us? So thoughtful! Only issue was we couldn’t figure out the combo/lock system as our phones hadn’t switched to the UK eSIM so we missed that info email. But! We pressed the doorbell (probably way too many times lol) and the owner spoke to us via the bell, walked down to show us in and around the house! Loved our stay, would def book again!"

Carrickfergus Castle
4.2/5 (166 reviews)
Carrickfergus Castle is one of the best preserved castles in Northern Ireland and has withstood sieges and defended against invaders for more than 800 years. The imposing landmark dominates the shoreline in Lough Belfast, the inlet surrounding the city, making it impossible to ignore for anyone trying to attack Belfast.
The Ulster Folk and Transport Museum has two wings, as the name suggests – one showing the traditions and way of life of the people of Northern Ireland, while the other is a collection of cars, locomotives, trams, horse-drawn carriages, planes, bicycles and even pogo sticks. There are no prizes for guessing which is more popular with young children.
Thought to be some 800 years old, St. Nicholas’ Church stands in the centre of town, a place of tranquillity amid the bustling streets of Carrickfergus. The accepted story behind the church is that it was built in the late 12th Century by John de Courcy, the Anglo-Norman knight who had a reputation for establishing churches and abbeys during his rule.
