Nestling amongst traditional Victorian gardens, millponds and woodland in the heart of Northern Ireland is Ardtara, an elegant 19th-century mansion, once a family home to the Cork linen barons and now one of Ireland's finest restaurants.

Just 15 minutes from Seamus Heaney HomePlace and within 45 minutes of both Belfast & Derry, the Giant’s Causeway, the Antrim coast, Royal Portrush Golf Club and many Game of Thrones filming locations, it’s the perfect base from which to explore the local area and Northern Ireland.

While the house is peaceful and secluded, there is that unmistakeable buzz that comes from having a full-service restaurant on site, with extensive wine list and cocktail menu also serving a daily bar/lounge menu.

The recently renovated bedrooms respect the era of the house, whilst offering all the modern conveniences along with genuine warmth and hospitality.
