Ballylinney Holiday Cottages, Bushmills

Just a short walk from the iconic Giants Causeway World Heritage site, these traditional cottages are perfect for couples and families wanting a coastal escape. The bustling coastal resorts of Portrush and Portstewart are within easy reach offering eclectic gift shops, highly acclaimed restaurants and traditional Irish pubs, as well as the prestigious Royal Port Rush golf course, home to the famous 2019 British Open.

The village of Bushmills, home to the world’s oldest licensed whiskey distillery, is located only one mile away for those who fancy a tipple. Ballylinney Holiday Cottages offer well-equipped kitchens and wood burning stoves for those cosy nights in, and afford magnificent sea views towards the Antrim and far-reaching Donegal coastline.

A three-night break for four people costs from £235, a week costs from £359.

Manor House Marine, Lower Lough Erne

In the heart of Lower Lough Erne and new to Hoseasons for 2018, guests can take a boating break to one of the most spectacular lakes in Ireland at Manor House Marine

From a base at Killadeas Bay, visitors are perfectly placed to explore one of the easiest cruising routes, ideal for beginners, thanks to the Erne’s virtually lock-free waterway. Surrounded by mountains and dotted with islands, head south on a route discovering the heritage of historic Enniskillen town – a perfectly preserved 12th-century tower on Devenish Island and the 6th-century carvings on White Island.

There are plenty of opportunities to moor up along the way, whether to enjoy a picnic lunch or to get the blood pumping with kayaking and water-skiing. Stay on a Noble Cadet cruiser, sleeping up to four people it comes complete with galley kitchen, shower room and two double beds.

A 3-night break costs from £582, a week costs from £622.
