Sports

Golf at Royal Portrush, Portstewart and Royal Country Down literally matches the best the World has to offer.

For a golf specialist, we recommend you visit www.golftravelni.com.

Hiking in the nearby Sperrin Mountains unveils some of the most un-spoilt mountain scenery available in Ireland.  If you prefer, the spectacular cliff and beach walks along the Antrim coast, including the World Heritage designated site of the Giant’s Causeway, are truly unique in their rugged beauty.  Look for some unusual fossils in the streams around White Park bay.  Northern Ireland boasts some of the most pleasing Houses and Gardens in the UK, from the impressive Mount Stewart to the beautifully detailed Ben Varden.  If you desire to have some education while you admire the glories of these walks, homes and gardens, we can arrange for qualified guides to accompany you, and provide historical and cultural information that will greatly enhance your experience.

Depending on the time of year, leisure activities include:

• River and sea fishing – Ardtara is close to a variety of good rivers and lakes and the Irish sea is only 45 minutes drive away.  Ghillies are available by request.

• Fly fishing on the River Bush

• Course Fishing on the River Bann

• Horse riding

• Bird shoots can all be organized with sufficient lead time.

If hanging out and being pampered is more to your taste, our staff will ensure that your every whim is catered to as you relax in the beautifully appointed lounge, and for the really serious connoisseur, the ultimate in luxury is available with personal massage sessions right in your own room.
