Bird Island Bothy

Wake with the rising sun, shrill calls of the wading birds, and waves breaking on the shore only meters away. The wild shore and vegetation provide a great habitat for birds, mammals, insects and spiders typical of the Irish coast. Wading birds can be seen feeding along the undisturbed shore. Bird Island Bothy has the feel of a sailing ship's cabin with chunky wooden beams, mock four-poster bed and plush velvet curtains. A great base from which to explore the Ards Peninsula. The space The bothy is compact, approximately 14.5 meters square. From the road, access is via a shared laneway, about 30m long, with double gates at both ends. Beyond the gates is a gravel yard with parking. The path is then on foot along a rough lawn path across a semi-tame garden to the the bothy.
