We are on the shores of Lough Neagh with excellent views of the Lough. We use local produce for our breakfasts and can offer evening meals if arranged in advance. It is easy to explore Northern Ireland from here as we are 30 minutes from Belfast and you can reach the North Coast in under an hour. It staying more than one night you really need your own transport. We can offer parking for cars, storage for motorbikes and bikes and even canoes! Look forward to welcoming you to Bay Cottage. The space We have two bedrooms (both have lovely views of Lough Neagh) and guests have use of our lovely big sitting room, but this listing concentrates on the Blue Room. The Blue Room is en suite, has a large double bed and a sofa which opens into a standard double so the room is excellent for couples or families with young children. It has a TV, binoculars, hairdryer and a hospitality tray. There is a library available for guests and there are magazines in the sitting room. The sitting room has a multi fuel stove (for chilly evenings), large TV, extensive selection of tourist information, and most important of all, comfortable chairs and sofas. All meals are served in the dining room and guests are welcome to bring their own wine or beer if having an evening meal. Breakfast uses our own free range eggs, (you can meet the hens), rare breed pig products, home made Irish bread and preserves, and Elizabeth uses local produce whenever possible. Local produce is also used for the evening meals which are by arrangement. Guests are welcomed with the offer of tea or coffee and home made scones or cake. There is off street parking for cars and covered storage for bikes, motorbikes and canoes and storage for sports equipment such as golf clubs. We also have a kennel and run for visiting dogs.

The field in front of the house is home to our hens and geese, whilst we have ducks in the back garden.
