Riverside Cottage
Riverside Cottage was built in 1791 as a working Watermill and is uniquely located sitting in the Ballylinney River. Few cottages offer such unique features as their own little bridge which leads to the front door, a private rivers edge garden, sound of the river flowing past your windows, and olde world charm combines with modern luxuries. It has many original features such a vaulted ceiling, oak beams, thick solid stone walls, and original stone waterwheel well.
We are perfectly located in the heart of mid Antrim, the ideal central spot to visit all the game of throne sites, as well as many more historic sights including Giants Causeway, Carrickfergus Castle (9 Mins), Titanic Museum (18 mins) and many of our beautiful National Trust Properties. A Golf Club is just 6 minutes away, and the nearest seafront only 9 minutes.
Our quirky cottage was originally built as a working Watermill dating back to 1791 during the reign of King George III, making it a true Georgian building.

Sit back, relax and listen to the river run right past your window, and enjoy the regular sightings of the local wildlife visitors, Robins, Herons, Ducks, Otters, Kingfishers, Squirrels, Rabbits, Hedgehogs, and lots of other little water birds.
