Description

Sandend Cottage is a bright and comfortable seaside cottage set right on the County Down shoreline, offering uninterrupted views across the Irish Sea towards Scotland and the Isle of Man. With direct access to a long sandy beach, the cottage is perfectly placed for relaxed family holidays, peaceful coastal breaks, and time spent enjoying nature at your own pace.

The cottage is ideal for traditional bucket and spade days, quiet walks along the shore, and evenings watching the light change over the water. Its location makes it easy to explore the Ards Peninsula, with nearby villages such as Ballywalter, Greyabbey, and Donaghadee offering local shops, cafés, and coastal character. Popular attractions including Mount Stewart and Castle Ward are also within easy reach.

Whether you are looking for a calm seaside escape or a comfortable base to explore Northern Ireland’s coastline and countryside, Sandend Cottage offers a welcoming place to slow down and enjoy life by the sea.

Explore Sandend Cottage through our gallery and get a feel for the space, the setting, and the views. From the bright and comfortable interiors to the ever changing sea just beyond the door, these images show what makes staying right on the shoreline such a special experience.

Our second stay here in 2 years. We absolutely love this place, a beautiful cottage which backs onto the beach. Quiet and peaceful. Carol and Trevor are such lovely, welcoming hosts. Local shops and businesses are very friendly and helpful.

Great place to stay

Lovely Cottage right by the sea if you are lucky as we was with the weather you can have a swim in the clear water every day just down the steps to the beach. Sandend Cottage has everything you need or require. The cottage also has great views of the sea and surrounding area.

Stunning and relaxing place to stay

We are return visitors to sandend cottage, we hadn't been in many years so it was very nostalgic to be back as an adult. The cottage has everything you need for a relaxing stay, the views of the sea and easy access is amazing. Great communication from the hosts, and lovely personal touch leaving milk, eggs, bread, butter etc which is great whenever you first arrive and haven't got anything in yet. The cottage is clean and well equipped with everything you might need. Local shops aren't far away by car and other excursions and places to dine by recommendation from the hosts. We were able to bring our pet dog by arrangement.
