AWARD WINNING 5* CONTEMPORARY HOUSE SET IN AN AREA OF OUTSTANDING NATURAL BEAUTY

WINNERS OF THE PRESTIGIOUS NORTHERN IRELAND TOURISM AWARDS 2016......
AS FEATURED IN 25 BEAUTIFUL HOMES NOVEMBER 2015
Number 1 Barn Lane is a stunning three-bed barn extension set in a designated area of outstanding natural beauty and nestled in the Sperrin Mountains, overlooking Lough Foyle and the Donegal Hills.

Designed and owned by award-winning architects, this contemporary styled new property has three double/twin rooms and three bathroom/shower rooms over two floors.

The ground floor boasts a living and dining area, a fully equipped kitchen and separate utility room. A log burning stove and under floor heating throughout the ground floor makes the open plan space extremely cosy.

Set in private grounds on a family farm, the barn is the perfect base from which to explore the many attractions of the Ireland’s dramatic northern coastline.


Explore the highlights of the north coast:

The bustling seaside towns of Portrush and Portstewart are within a 25-minute drive of the barn, with Portballintrae, Ballycastle and County Donegal all within reach.

The glorious beaches for which the North Coast is famed all offer great surfing, kite surfing and bodyboarding and are easily accessible.

Benone Beach, Mussenden Temple, Downhill Demesne, Hezlett House and the famous Carrick-a-Rede rope bridge are just some of the more local attractions (15-25 minutes drive away), while the magnificent Giants Causeway – a UNESCO World Heritage site - and its award-winning visitors centre is also a short drive.

The Roe Valley Country Park, offering salmon fishing and serene riverside walks through wooded glades, is just five minutes away.

For Irish whisky lovers, the world famous Bushmills distillery can be reached within half an hour.

Golfers will be spoilt for choice, with world class golf courses including Royal Portrush, Portstewart, Castlerock and Ballycastle all within reach.

Game of Thrones fans can walk in the footsteps of the Starks and Lannisters by visiting one of Causeway Coast and Glens filming locations. Scenes from Winterfell, Dragonstone, Pyke, The Stormlands and the King’s Road were all filmed here.

Further afield the capital city of Belfast is just over an hour away, making visits to the many theatres and award-winning restaurants, the Titanic Museum, W5 and the Ulster Museum all achievable.

Londonderry/Derry, a former Capital of Culture, with its famous walls and intriguing history, is a 45-minute drive.

Family time at 1 Barn Lane
We immediately relaxed each time we drove up to the farmhouse and absolutely enjoyed the tranquil and peaceful setting. The house is designed with maximum family space on the main floor with an open kitchen adjacent to the dining & living space - all with gorgeously expansive windows with views onto the surrounding property. We hope to return!

Summer 2020 Stay
Wow! What a place. We stayed in August ‘20 as a seven (5 of us as a family and 2 grandparents) and at no point did it feel crammed. The property felt spacious, well laid out and has been maintained to a very high standard. We had lots of days out therefore was a great base for the attractions on the North Coast. Also, it provided a cosy home feel on those unavoidable rainy days! Before our stay we asked lots of questions about the property and the surrounding attractions and Kim was more than helpful in answering any queries we had. Thanks Kim! Would definitely book Barn Lane again and really recommend it to either families or couples looking for a break. The Henderson’s | Cheshire

Superb
My overall impression of this cottage is fully positive. The house is very bright with natural light pouring from all sides even on a dull, cloudy day. It is quite open plan yet private at the same time for the various family members. We've stayed in a great number of Homeaway properties around the world over the years and this has been the best. The communication by Kim matched the standard of the property.

The house and location are perfect for a relaxing break to recharge your batteries. The house design and amenities are first class, the immediate views and surrounding area were a much more than we could have anticipated. There is so much of interest within easy reach of the house: it truly is perdition!

Lovely Rural Getaway
The property is stunning. The setting is rural and private. The interior of the property is a thing of beauty with an open plan design on ground floor with option of closing off kitchen. It feels like its been created by a very creative/artistic couple/team. The bedrooms are of good size with excellent toilet/shower facilities (and bath in the main bathroom). The shops in nearby Limavady were very good with an excellent butcher, bakery, greengrocers (and a large Tesco to supply the rest). Our hosts were very friendly and helpful. There are 2 outdoor seating areas, one good for morning and afternoon sun the other good for the evening. We loved this place and were pleasantly surprised by the quality of nearby amenities. We were able to get to Portrush, Portstewart, Benone, Castlerock beaches/facilities all within about 35 mins

Great Place
Communication and payment was very easy. The house is gorgeous. Our son and daughter in law and two friends from England stayed with us very comfortably. The three bathrooms are excellent. We shopped at Tesco in Limavady and cooked at home a lot. The Depot Bar in Limivady is very modern and there are also older traditional pubs. We went for the British Open in Portrush, but we also drove the Antrim Coast, shopped in Ballymena and went to Londonderry. It is a great location, out in the countryside, but close enough to town to get everything you need. I recommend staying there highly. It was a very relaxing experience.

Wonderful holiday in an amazing property
We had a wonderful stay at this stunning property. The home is ultra modern yet comfortable and relaxing to stay in. The decoration and fittings are first class and very well thought out. We really did not want to leave at the end of the week. It has inspired us to apply some of the ideas to our own home. The owners were very welcoming on arrival and showed us all of the feature of the house. The gift of salted caramel chocolate brownies was very much appreciated. The information files provided were excellent and contained everything that we needed. This is a great location for the north coast of Northern Ireland and the north part of the Wild Atlantic Way. The Titanic museum and Belfast are within visiting distance, and are a must.

Fantastic house and great area to stay, explore and enjoy a warm Irish welcome
On arrival we received a lovely welcome from Kim and very much enjoyed our resulting week in Northern Ireland. The house is beautifully designed, spacious and lets in loads of light and the views of the surrounding countryside. It is well equipped, particularly with regards to the kitchen (something that you can't say about many holiday properties). The house is in a good location - out in the countryside but not too far off the beaten track. If you are prepared to drive around to fully explore the area there is plenty to see and do within an hour of the property. The coastline is of course the number one attraction. The drive between Ballycastle and Cushendell on the minor coastal road is particularly good, as is a drive out to Malin Head. Derry has a good atmosphere - walking the city walls and the murals in the Bogside are a must if you visit the city. Definitely recommend Harry's Shack in Portstewart for a great fresh fish lunch. Brown's in Derry is also very good. If you end up passing through Magherafelt, check out Mary's Bar, particularly upstairs - it's the most palatial pub you'll ever see! Above all, enjoy the warm Irish welcome and sense of humour that you'll find pretty much everywhere and don't forget to raise a glass (or two) of Bushmills' whiskey!

Contemporary home in idyllic Northern Irish countryside
My family from the U.S. returned to County Derry in N. Ireland this summer to explore our ancestral roots. We stayed in this beautiful 3 bdrm/3 bath home with spectacular sunsets over Lough Foyle. It is easy to imagine yourself 50, 100 or 200 years ago gazing out on the cow pasture and rolling green hills. There were homemade brownies and fresh flowers to greet us when we arrived. Kim and Derek provided all of the information we needed prior to our arrival and they were always available to answer questions and to provide helpful information during our visit. A washer and dryer are located in the downstairs bath. This property is perfect for visits to the walled city of Londonderry, a walk through Free Derry, or drives to the northern coast to visit Giant's Causeway, Bushmills or Game of Thrones sites. It is an easy and scenic drive to the Inishowen peninsula and to County Donnegal, both of which boast breathtaking views. We also took a day-trip to Belfast for a black cab "Troubles tour" (highly recommended) and a visit to the Titanic museum. The house has both a back and a front terrace to enjoy, and the interior rooms are spacious and comfortable. It is also perfect for entertaining and provides a charcoal grill. I asked for extra hangers (only 3/bdrm are provided) and Derek brought them 'round after we returned from our daylong excursion. The home displays beautiful hand-painted artwork from the owners' family. The cows in the field greeted us every evening as we turned into the drive of the house, and they were standing outside the front windows each morning 'joining' us for breakfast. They enjoy treats of parsnips! The only deficiencies that we found in the house were an absence of closets or hanging space for clothes (each bedroom provides 2 hooks and one bedroom has a hanging bar) and there are no shelves in the shower stalls for shampoo/soap, nor hooks for hanging extra towels or clothing items ~ but each bath has a heated towel bar, and the downstairs tile floors are heated. The house is perfect for couples, adult families or for families with young children and the upstairs bath has a bathtub. We hope to return in summers to come!
