Ron and Jenny
Unique purpose built cottage with a seaside feel. In a quiet lane with its own patio looking out on the garden. Included in the price a breakfast pack is provided with fruit juice, cereal, bread, milk, coffee and tea. You can let us know if you require gluten free or dairy free products.
Ron built our cottage! He is a retired building consultant and keen sailor. Jenny is a retired teacher. We love the garden, our dogs and our gorgeous beach two minutes away!
Groomsport is a seaside village of about 3,000 souls. It is a popular wee place with a harbour for yachts. Cockle Island is a haven for nesting Arctic Terns. Lots of places to walk and also has a great pub and restaurant.
