Gill Cottage is a mid-1920s seaside home, thoughtfully restored with the intention of creating a place to cherish and share.
Named after a much-loved previous owner and dear friend, the cottage carries a sense of continuity and care that has shaped its restoration.
From the very beginning, the vision was to honour the character of the cottage while introducing a soft, understated coastal Art Deco aesthetic — calm, timeless and easy to live in.
Every detail has been carefully considered to create a space that feels both relaxed and refined, just moments from the sea.
It is a home designed to be enjoyed slowly — somewhere to unwind, reset and feel completely at ease.
I hope it feels as special to you as it has been to create.

Gill Cottage is a place to slow down and enjoy the simple pleasures of coastal living. Sunlight moves beautifully through the house and garden across the day, creating a sense of warmth, calm and ease from morning through to evening.
The large garden offers space to relax, read or simply enjoy the quiet, while at the very bottom of the garden there is a small tucked-away spot that catches the last of the evening sun — the perfect place to sit with a book and a glass of wine as the day winds down.

Gill Cottage is set up to make your stay feel easy, comfortable and relaxed from the moment you arrive. Whether you are here for a short coastal break or using it as a base to explore Northern Ireland, the cottage offers the space and practical comforts to help you settle in and enjoy your time away.
It is equally suited to quiet mornings, beach days, scenic drives and cosy evenings back at the cottage — offering a stay that feels both special and effortless.

Just moments from Ballyholme Beach, Gill Cottage is ideally placed for exploring the best of Northern Ireland. The Esplanade Bar & Restaurant is less than a minute walk away, while Belfast City Airport is around 20 minutes away, with Belfast city centre and Titanic Belfast both just 30 minutes away. The Causeway Coast also makes a perfect day trip, at around 1 hour 45 minutes by car.
