Winter Stays
Winter stays by the sea
From November to March, Portrush is at its most peaceful: empty beaches, big skies and cosy evenings in. Book direct for our best price.
A month by the sea, or a long weekend
Our apartments have Wi-Fi and full kitchens, so winter stays in Portrush work just as well for a month as for a weekend. Come to write, work, walk or simply slow down, with the beach a few minutes from your door.
Longer stays cost less
Our weekly rate applies to stays of 7 nights or more, and our monthly rate to stays of 30 nights or more. Both are applied automatically when you search your dates.
Room to work
Wi-Fi throughout, and a dedicated workspace in many apartments. Each listing shows exactly what’s there.
Ready when you arrive
Bed linen and towels are included. Check in from 3pm with a keysafe, so a late arrival is no problem.

Winter on the Causeway Coast
Winter is the best time to have the coast to yourself. A few of our favourite things to do:
Beach walks and storm watching
West Strand, East Strand and Whiterocks are all a few minutes away. The seasonal dog restrictions on these beaches only run from 1 June to 15 September.
Dunluce Castle
Winter opening from 1 November is 9am to 4pm, with last admission 30 minutes before closing. No booking needed.
Giant’s Causeway
The coastline is open from dawn to dusk, and the National Trust says pre-booking is essential for the Visitor Experience.
Live music in November
Atlantic Sessions brings live music to Portrush and Portstewart each November, with free music trails and ticketed headline gigs.
Christmas on the coast
Light switch-ons, markets and Santa events across the Causeway Coast and Glens.
A winter weekend plan
Our two-day plan for Portrush in winter, from a frosty beach walk to dinner by the harbour.
