Description of the home we are offering for exchange
This accommodation is an apartment attached to our converted 150 year old cottage sitting in generous gardens in a countryside setting in the hills just 20 minutes north of Belfast city centre. Where we live we are surrounded by farmland with views over Belfast Lough and the hills beyond with a local golf club only a field away.Belfast has all the attractions one would expect of the capital city of the province with museums , art galleries,restaurants and famous music venues and pubs. Shopping facilities are extensive and the many visitor attractions and events constantly attract visitors from near and far. The reputation for a lively night life in the city has made this a must see destination.
Check out the websites below to find out what's currently on the cards for visitors to Belfast. Activities such as golf, fishing, horse riding, rambling and cycling are all available within easy reach. Belfast is an hours drive from both the famous Giant's Causeway and the glorious Mountains of Mourne. The Causeway Coast route north and the Mountains of Mourne route south both start within easy reach. Northern Ireland has some of the most beautiful scenery in the world which can be reached on uncrowded roads, from the famous lake district in Fermanagh to the Mournes in County Down to the beautiful Glens of Antrim....you are spoilt for choice. Recent visitors lamented that they hadn't more time to take it all in.

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area
We live in the countryside just North of Belfast, whilst still only a 20 minute drive from downtown. Good road rail and bus links make access to Belfast and the rest of Ireland very easy. Rail and bus links to Belfast and the rest of Ireland are a five minute drive or a 30 minute stroll from our front door down the country road and up through the forest route to the local shops. We usually park at the station or at the shops and bus or train it into Belfast...20 minutes by train and 30 by bus. There's a golf club a field away from our home and a driving range and Par 3 golf course a twenty minute walk away. There are two Theatres adjacent the Golf facilities with their own Mill Museum, Art gallery and restaurant.

Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home
Our home is in the countryside a short 20 minute drive to Belfast City Centre by car or train. Trains are available a five minute drive away and give access across the whole island. Country walks abound all around us and a short one hour drive up the Antrim coast will take to the Giants Causeway and the Causeway Coast where Game of Thrones is widely filmed and great world class golf clubs are everywhere. On a clear day the Mountains of Mourne are visible from our elevated site, just a drive of 90 minutes away.
