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.
If you need any other information, please just ask, email or phone us.

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

Bert and his mate have come to holiday with us over the winter. They are enjoying the facilities and the views across the fields to the Mountains of Mourne and Scarbo Tower. 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.

Making sure we are doing our best

We are always trying to make sure we are doing our best. Our latest effort is trying to improve our website. So we have been redoing some pictures. However maybe it is Father Christmas wo we need to ask for new camera.

Outdoor gym at Whitethorn

This is the result of our work in the garden. It seems that we could cut back everyday and you still might not even notice. We never seem to be planting things, just cutting things. There is always so much work that needs doing no matter which direction you look.

The good days we have had lately just make you want to get outside.

However if we spend too long gardening we aren't fit to work the next day, we can't move.

If only we could run gardening weekend workshops and everyone could come and try gardening, cutting back our garden!! Good idea. A gum outdoors at Whitethorn.

When the sun is out you couldn't wish to be anywhere else. Yesterday we spent most of the day in the garden. There is lots of work needs done in the garden but it is such a pleasure to be there when the sun is shining, as it was.

Please come up and see round the cottages anytime so that you know where we are and what the cottages look like inside. Then if you know anyone wanting to visit Northern Ireland and are looking for a holiday cottage hopefully we can accommodate you.
