1 / 20Hazel Cottage
Portrush, County Antrim
A well appointed bungalow for six in the heart of Portrush, with an enclosed rear garden, a detached summer house and one dog welcome, the local beach less than a mile away.
Hazel Cottage is a welcoming, well appointed bungalow in central Portrush, a dog friendly base for a classic Causeway Coast escape. It sleeps six across three bedrooms. One dog is welcome, and the town's seaside attractions, independent shops and pubs are all close at hand, with the local beach less than a mile away.
There is room in the hallway to kick off sandy shoes when you and the dog come back from the shore. To one side the lounge is light and airy, with plenty of comfortable seating and a Smart TV, the place to plan tomorrow while the dog dozes. At the rear, the charming kitchen and diner has a breakfast table, and the rear patio is just outside for meals in the fresh air.
The enclosed rear garden is where the dog can roam, with a gravelled area, a furnished patio and a barbecue. A detached summer house sits within it, a lovely spot for a book and a morning coffee. The front garden is laid to lawn and is not enclosed. Bedtime brings a choice of a master double and two twins, served by a family shower room with a large walk in shower.
White Rocks Beach, 2.5 miles away, is worth the trip with the dog for its limestone cliffs and sea caves. Portstewart and Coleraine are within easy reach for more shops and places to eat, and the Giant's Causeway is 8 miles along the coast. Dunseverick offers more rugged coastline, and the Binevenagh Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty has tranquil forest trails, sweeping views and rich wildlife for longer walks.

Book with holidaycottages.co.ukFrequently Asked Questions
Is Hazel Cottage dog friendly?
Yes, Hazel Cottage welcomes one dog. The whole property sits on a single floor, so there are no stairs to navigate, and the enclosed rear garden is accessed directly from the kitchen door — making it easy to let your dog out without going through the front of the house.
Are dogs allowed at Hazel Cottage year round?
The listing doesn't specify any seasonal restrictions on dogs staying at the cottage itself, so it appears to be welcome year round. Worth noting for nearby walks: dogs are allowed at the far end of Portstewart Strand all year, which is a good option when seasonal beach rules apply closer to town.
What should I know before visiting Hazel Cottage with my dog?
The property allows one dog, so it's not suited to multi-dog households. The rear garden is enclosed and gravel-surfaced with a patio and summer house, giving your dog a secure outdoor space, while the front garden is open to the road so you'll want to keep that in mind. The sea is under a mile away in more than one direction, with Portstewart Strand — a 3.2-mile dog-friendly beach — reachable to the west.
