Whitethorn Cottages, luxury accommodation just 10 miles from Belfast City Centre

Belfast is buzzing with a whole catalogue of festive events to entertain you this Christmas, including Christmas pantomimes at Grand Opera House and Belfast Waterfront, the Continental Market at City Hall, Christmas fair and market at St George’s Market, festive discovery at W5, concerts, musicals, winter wonderland workshops, tours and much more.
In recent years Belfast and the surrounding areas have become a colony attracting and encouraging artists and entertainers in all aspects of the performing arts.

A creative community spirit has cultivated a year round programme of festivals, live entertainment, music, exhibitions, film and sport to rival that of cities long established in this diverse area of the arts. And the social life of Belfast has been the direct beneficiary. Belfast is a lively, year-round festival city with plenty to see and do.

Enjoy fun with friends and family in a host of award winning restaurants, bars and cafes throughout the city and experience the Belfast craic and welcome in the City’s eclectic range of pubs, clubs and entertainment venues.

Whitethorn Cottages are just 10 miles from Belfast City Centre, just 15 minutes in the car. Enjoy the privacy and peace of the cottages and the sights and sounds of Belfast.

With snow for a week now it is so different from our usual view from the cottages.

Snow at Whitethorn

As promised we have got snow. There is nothing nicer than a fall of snow to make it seem like Christmas. With the logs on the fire and the snow outside there is no more cosy feeling.

Snow is forecast for the week and Christmas is on its way, so why not visit Whitethorn Cottages.
We provide luxury accommodation, everything you could possibly need to celebrate Christmas with your friends and family. We decorate the cottages to make it seem like home from home. There is a wood burning stove and oil fired central heating. When you arrive there is a welcome pack to get you started. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need to make your Christmas dinner. The table can seat 8 comfortably and we can provide more chairs if you should have visitors.
The cottages are two bedroom with ensuite facilites. Each bedroom is big enough to take a kingsize bed and single. Your bedlinen and towels are provided.
We charge £45 pps, so 4 people for 4 nights works out at £640
We have a library of books,videos,cd's and games to keep you entertained. We are situated in a beautiful location, 10 miles from Belfast city centre, lovely for walks and we have bikes for those who want to cycle. The cottages are just 5mins from Tesco's for food and drink.

Improving our photos

A new camera to try and help me give you better images of what we have to offer. More pixels means you can see everything in more detail. Let me know what you think.

New guests at Whitethorn

Although is was lovely and sunny today they both have their rugs on to keep them cosy. This is a photo of the pink skyline tonight which is usuallya sign of a nice bright day tomorrow.
