Self-Catering & Pet Friendly Holiday Lets
We are located in the countryside in Aghadowey, off the rural road between the towns of Coleraine & Ballymoney, convenient to the tourist trail of the North Coast and all it has to offer. We are also very close to facilities such as The Brown Trout Golf & Country Inn, Drumaheaglis Marina & Canoe Trail, forest walks and coffee shops and convenient to several activity centres such as Rose Park Farm at Ballymoney and The Lake at Kilrea for the more adventurous.
RE: CORONAVIRUS 2022 – to all our guests
We hope you and your families are all very safe and well. We are so pleased to be able to welcome our guests (and fur babies) for a break, to enjoy the seclusion and peace of the cabin, especially in these difficult and worrying times. We are also pleased to announce a new facility, The Barn at Willowfield, another self-contained accommodation, in a private setting opposite the house, self-catering, suitable for children and, of course, it too is pet friendly.
Our priority is for everyone to stay safe and well, and follow NHS and government advice, so we can all safely get through this pandemic. With changeable circumstances, bookings must currently be taken on the understanding that safety and government advice must allow holiday-let rental and associated travel at that time. You can book with confidence; if you pay a deposit and wish to cancel your booking at ANY time, for ANY reason, between booking time right up to arrival date, or if the booking must be cancelled due to coronavirus or to follow government advice, your deposit will be refunded in full, or if you prefer, can be held pending selection of new dates.
We have stringent procedures in place for your safety and confidence, including thorough disinfecting, so you can truly relax and enjoy your stay. Unfortunately, for now, that means we are unable to provide some of the items listed in this website (eg books, CDs, games, telescope, food items etc) and our usual little extras and personal touches (a full list will be provided on request and at booking confirmation so you know the additional items you may wish to bring with you). We hope this will not detract from your experience and thank you for your understanding. The wildlife is definitely still here! If you have any concerns or additional requests please do not hesitate to contact me to discuss them as we aim to ensure you have a really enjoyable, safe and stress-free stay.
Thank you for your understanding, and we look forward to seeing you very soon
Stay Safe

WILLOWFIELD RIVERSIDE CABIN – Pet Friendly
Check out our rustic log-style cabin by the river. There is an open plan well equipped living/kitchen/dining area with separate double bedroom and ensuite shower room. Enjoy the view from your veranda which looks out to the Aghadowey River and the picnic/chiminea area. The cosy and comfortable cabin is secluded and private as it stands alone, set between woods and countryside, perfect for nature lovers, or even just for a romantic getaway or quiet break. Pets Welcome. NITB Certified.
THE BARN AT WILLOWFIELD – Family & Pet Friendly
Alternatively, for a quiet getaway, The Barn at Willowfield is a charming self-contained holiday let, suitable for children and is also pet friendly. The quaint white building (storey and a half) is in a quiet rural setting within the grounds of Willowfield, opposite our house. It’s a great place for a break away, or to use as a base to explore our wonderful North Coast. With open plan living/kitchen/dining area, it is well equipped and very comfortable and has the benefit of a Smart TV and Wifi. There is a spacious bedroom upstairs (and ensuite shower room), with a double bed for 2 guests, but also the flexibility of sleeping 3 or 4 more. There are two patios with seating, to make the most of the sun on either side of The Barn, both with charming garden areas. Pets Welcome. NITB Certified.
WILLOWFIELD, OUR HOME
At Willowfield, where we live with our pets, we pride ourselves in also providing a home for nature, and our aim is to encourage and enable others to experience and enjoy it for themselves. We are so lucky to have so many species of birds here, 53 at the last count, we want others to share in the joy they bring.
We are very fortunate that our grounds extend to the banks of the Aghadowey River (the ‘Wee Agivey’) that brings it’s own wildlife flowing through. So we have a wealth of wildlife, from the fish in the river and birds like the kingfisher, dipper and assorted ducks and swans, to the hedgehogs, foxes, badgers, squirrels and even otters!
We have our own pet goats in residence in the paddock. We also have a wildlife pond full of life; frogs, fish, dragonflies and damselflies, which are all very attractive to the local heron population, and the little islands in the middle of the pond have offered safe haven to ducks and their ducklings fleeing the fox!
Whether you come to enjoy the seclusion of Willowfield Riverside Cabin for a romantic break or a bit of bird & nature spotting, or stay at The Barn at Willowfield for a lovely family break, we hope we can help you relax and share in the joy of the animals, wild birds and nature around us all.
We Hope To See You Very Soon . . . . .
