Reopening after COVID-19
As the world slowly tries to reorganise after the chaos of COVID-19, I have received a few tentative messages about my re-opening.
Most of these inquiries come from returning visitors. It’s probably sensible to assume that we won’t see the same swathes of overseas visitors on our shores for the rest of 2020 – but I am optimistic that there will be an uptick in UK and Ireland travellers later in the year.
Why stay at Crockatinney?
Set in a quiet, rural location between Ballycastle and Ballintoy, Crockatinney Cottages are your very own home-from-home on Ireland’s North Coast. Enjoy uninterrupted views of Knocklayd Mountain, Glenshesk, Fairhead, Rathlin Island, the Mull of Kintyre – and even the eastern Scottish Islands on a clear day.
Kinbane Castle, a genuine medieval castle, is less than 2 miles away and walkable from Crockatinney. The Carrick-a-rede Rope Bridge is 3 miles away and the Giant’s Causeway is 10 miles away.
Although not a working farm, Crockatinney comprises over 60 acres of peatland (or bog) teeming in biodiversity. The composition of the soil has allowed many ecosystems and uncommon species’ to thrive.
The difficultly farming this marshy ground means it has been almost entirely given over to nature, besides a few grazing horses and donkeys. Crockatinney Cottages will appeal to anyone who loves both countryside and coast!
