1 / 11Cushendall Cottage
Cushendall, County Antrim
A three bedroom cottage for six at Cushendall in the Glens of Antrim, with an enclosed garden of lawn and patio, an open fire and two dogs welcome, the beach half a mile off.
Two dogs, and a garden with actual lawn in it rather than the gravel and paving a village cottage usually runs to. Cushendall Cottage is a dog friendly cottage in the Glens of Antrim sleeping six across three bedrooms, with an enclosed garden holding a patio, furniture and a barbecue, and the water half a mile away.
The bedrooms are a king, a twin and a bunk room, which spreads six people the way two families need rather than the way one large one does, and one bathroom with the shower set over the tub serves all of them. An open fire takes the evening and the fuel comes with the cottage. Two dogs work out on the first night that the hearth is the warmest square yard in the building and neither of them gives it up.
The ground outside is what makes it. It is enclosed, it has grass as well as paving, and the barbecue stands on it, so an afternoon divides itself between people eating out of doors and two dogs doing laps of the lawn between courses. The village and the sea are close enough that going down to the water reads as a habit rather than an outing.
Cushendall sits where three of the nine Glens of Antrim come down to the coast, which is an unusual amount of variety to reach from one village. The beach is a short walk. Glenariff Forest Park opens 1.9 miles inland, a wooded gorge with waterfalls in it and boardwalk paths along the floor that dogs are welcome on, and north of the village the coast road runs to Cushendun and on towards Torr Head with Scotland across the water.

Book with holidaycottages.co.ukFrequently Asked Questions
Is Cushendall Cottage dog friendly?
Yes, Cushendall Cottage welcomes up to two dogs. The enclosed garden with a mix of lawn and patio gives them room to roam freely, and the open fire inside tends to become their favourite spot fairly quickly.
Are dogs allowed at Cushendall Cottage year round?
The listing doesn't specify seasonal restrictions, so it's worth contacting the owner directly to confirm availability for your dates. What we can say is that the cottage and its surroundings — the beach half a mile away, Glenariff Forest Park, and the coast road north — offer good walking options in any season.
What should I know before visiting Cushendall Cottage with my dog?
The cottage takes a maximum of two dogs, so it's not suitable for larger groups of pets. The garden is enclosed, which makes it easier to let dogs out without worry, and the beach is a short half-mile walk from the door. Glenariff Forest Park, 1.9 miles away, has boardwalk paths through a wooded gorge with waterfalls that dogs are welcome on — well worth adding to your itinerary.
