Annie’s Farm Cottage

About this property

Annie’s Farm Cottage is a warm and welcoming countryside retreat, tucked away in peaceful rural surroundings near Londonderry, offering a relaxed base for families or friends keen to slow the pace and explore Northern Ireland’s dramatic landscapes. Pet-friendly and full of character, this is the sort of place that suits long walks, unhurried meals, and evenings spent properly switching off. Step inside and you’re greeted by a comfortable living and dining space where a woodburning stove becomes the natural focal point after a day outdoors. It’s an easy room to settle into, whether you’re sharing stories over dinner or stretching out with a book as the fire crackles away.

The kitchen is well laid out and practical, with everything needed for home cooking, from simple breakfasts to proper sit-down suppers, making it easy to treat the cottage like a true home-from-home. Sleeping arrangements are flexible and well thought out. Two generous king-size bedrooms share Jack-and-Jill access to the main bathroom, making them ideal for couples or parents, while the bunk bedroom is perfect for children or additional guests. A second shower room adds extra convenience, particularly for larger groups getting ready to head out for the day. Outside, the private garden is a real bonus. It’s a quiet spot for morning coffee, an evening drink, or letting dogs stretch their legs while you take in the calm of the surrounding countryside.

Off-road parking keeps things straightforward, whether you’re arriving with bags, bikes, or walking boots. From here, you’re well placed to explore. The rugged beauty of the Causeway Coast is easily reached by car, with its clifftop paths, beaches, and iconic landmarks. Day trips to places like Ballintoy Harbour, Letterkenny, and Lisfannon Beach offer everything from wild coastal scenery to lively towns with cafés and local shops. Closer to home, scenic country roads and peaceful walks make it easy to enjoy the landscape at your own pace. Annie’s Farm Cottage offers a restful, characterful base for discovering this striking part of Northern Ireland, blending rural calm with the freedom to explore far and wide.

Londonderry is a thriving riverside city resting along the River Foyle between Newtown Cunningham and Ballyrory. The city is well known for being the only remaining intact walled city in Ireland, and offers a good selection of attractions, including the 17th-century Derry Wall’s, the spired St. Columbs Cathedral, the Tower Museum, St. Columbs Park and The Peace Bridge. Dining options include Primrose on the Quay, The Old Docks Bar & Grill and the Quaywest Wine Bar & Restaurant, while you can pick up essentials in the nearby supermarkets and convenience stores. Further afield is Letterkenny, where you can find further attractions and amenities, such as St. Eunan’s Cathedral, Tropical World, Letterkenny Town Park and the Letterkenny Golf Club.
