Spring has well and truly sprung at Arthur Cottage in Cullybackey, where Mary has been busy tending the garden, growing and harvesting seasonal produce and meeting and greeting guests at this special cottage that holds so much history under its thatched roof. Read on to discover what Springtime delights await you at Arthur Cottage!

This land has a story to tell. A historic tale passed down through generations, through artefacts and ruins. Through folklore and ancient writings. Where etchings of the past reveal a deeper understanding. It’s a place for wandering through ancient castles, dandering through sleepy Georgian villages, hiking to cascading waterfalls, and making tracks of your own on a steam train experience. A place to contemplate those who shaped this unique corner of Ireland.

Take a road trip like no other. Blasted out from the sea cliffs that edge this beautiful land, our coastal road can take you from an imposing medieval fortress to a quaint fishing village where you once might have found a girl with no name.

A Victorian seaside resort, stunning waterfalls and an epic cliff path that hugs the coastline awaits you in between. You wouldn't think we're only going to travel 30 miles.
