Ruby Stove Cottage
A Gem Along the
Giant’s Causeway
A traditional Irish cottage, fully updated to offer deluxe accommodations for two. Just one mile from the Giant's Causeway, it’s the perfect spot to launch your adventures or relax in the scenic countryside.
Ruby Stove Cottage has always been a beloved part of my husband John's childhood and of our love story. As a local, John was always passionate about introducing visitors to the astounding beauty and history of the North Antrim Coast. Even as I now call the United States my home, living near our grown children, my heart remains deeply rooted in Northern Ireland. Every time I return to this special place, it fills me with joy to continue the legacy of hospitality, welcoming travelers like yourself to experience its magic.
Who is Ruby Stove Cottage best suited for?
Couples or solo travelers seeking a quiet retreat. The cottage sleeps two in a super king bed with a 3-night minimum stay. We're non-smoking and unable to accommodate pets or wheelchairs
How far in advance can I book?
Up to 15 months ahead.
Traveling with a larger group?
The cottage is for two only, but we can suggest adjacent properties if you're traveling with others.
Is a car necessary?
Recommended but not essential. Local buses serve the main attractions, and the Causeway tram stop is a mile away.
What's the weather like?
The North Antrim coast has a mild maritime climate—rarely very hot or very cold, but often changeable. Summers (June–August) are the warmest and driest, with long daylight hours perfect for exploring. Spring and autumn offer quieter trails and dramatic skies. Winter is cooler and darker, but cozy for a retreat by the wood stove. Pack layers and a waterproof jacket any time of year—this is Ireland, after all.
How do I check in?
No key handover required—you'll receive a unique door code after final payment. Arrive whenever suits you.
Is there parking?
Yes—a lighted off-street space at the front. We can't accommodate caravans, trailers, or boats.
What about voltage for electronics?
UK standard: 220V with 3-pin plugs. Check your devices and bring adapters. A hairdryer is provided.
How does payment work?
A 10% non-refundable deposit secures your booking. The balance is due in three installments at 12, 8, and 4 weeks before arrival. We accept GBP, EUR, or USD via card or PayPal.
What's your cancellation policy?
Full refund (minus deposit) with 4+ weeks notice. Partial refunds with vouchers for shorter notice—see our full policy for details.
We loved our stay at Betsy's place not just because of its homely feel, spaciousness, comfort and peacefulness but because it is in a great location to all of the Causeway Coast attractions and activities. In addition, however when we needed to communicate with Betsy for something we required she was not only quick to reply but had the matter solved in the most timely manner. It is a wonderful place to stay that we would recommend to anyone.
We wish we were spending our entire two week trip to Ireland here at Betsy's place. We felt so at home. It was cozy lighting the fire every night.
Everything was comfortable and easy to use.
Thanks Betsy!
Lovely spacious cottage in a cracking location.
Easy access to Giants Causeway, Carrick a Rede, Portrush, Buncrana and Cushendall. Home from home. Betsy was very quick to respond. Highly recommended.
This was our third visit to Ruby Stove Cottage.
Everything was excellent just as our previous visits.
We really enjoyed our visit to Northern Ireland, sightseeing and visiting family.
We hope to return again soon and will recommend cottage to family and friends.
Thank you very much Betsy.

Betsy was a very responsive host. Nice bathroom and clean home.
Betsy's Ruby Stove Cottage was absolutely adorable, comfortable, and user friendly! We loved Betsy's attention to detail. She had switches labeled and instructions for all of the appliances. She also had a book that was very thorough with nearby medical assistance, restaurants, points of interest, and bus and taxi instructions! Of course, it is also a mile from the breathtaking Giants Causeway. This was a perfect spot for us to end our 10 day holiday!
Betsy's cottage feels like home the moment you walk in. It's close to everything that the causeway has to offer, but it is a peaceful place to rest.
Extremely pleased to have a shower large enough to wash my hair without banging my elbows. I know it's trivial, but there are certain luxuries that we take for granted. Loved the new lambs next door! Truly, the best part of our 2 week visit.
Thank you
A lovely and comfortable bolt hole for two in a wonderful
Everything was in good amenities. There is a super large and comfortable bed.
From there you can get to all the "corners" of the Giant Causeways very quickly
Betsy's cottage is a fantastic place to stay.
Beautiful and very close to the Giants Causeway.
The cottage has a very comfy bed and all the amenities you would want. We would definitely stay here again, if we're in the area.
Premium accommodation in the immediate vicinity of the Chaussée des Géants. Quality amenities. Impeccable clean Everything is provided for the comfort of holidaymakers. Betsy is very caring. Congrats and thanks.
This place was fabulous, close to portstewart which had excellent choices of restaurants.
Bushmill town has a few restaurants that are excellent. The Bushmill Inn provided the most delicious food and outstanding service. Need reservations I recommend you make them early.
Plenty of activities in the area with Giants causeway, rope bridge and shopping.
It was amazing to have an escape away. Betsy was incredibly accommodating. It was beautiful and a great location for the causeway!
The cottage was a very good space for two. The bedroom was light and airy and a very good size, with a huge comfortable bed. Everything was very clean.
It is well located for visiting all parts of the Causeway Coast.
This place is perfect for a visit to the Giant's Causeway, the town of Bushmills and the Antrim Coast. Very big, very clean, has everything you need. Included a nice goodie basket of snacks.
Highly recommended.
Spent my wedding night and a few days at Betsy's lovely cottage. It was the perfect spot and great distance to a-lot of sites. Will definitely be coming back and will recommend to everyone
This place was perfect, especially if you love visiting the Giants Causeway, Carrick A Rede rope bridge and Raflin Island. We visiting the Giants Causeway 3 times, 2 times in the evening when it wasn't crowded. The place was spacious and very clean. Betsy answered all texts quickly.
The entrance to Causeway took two to three minutes by car, so the location was excellent, and the parking lot was right in front of the house, so it was easy to load and unload. Although the host lives in the United States, She is meticulous enough to communicate immediately, and there was no inconvenience in keeping necessary items such as kitchen utensils. On the other hand, the house is large and the ceiling is high, so it seems a little cold in winter. Actually, it was a little cold inside because it rained even though it was May.
Overall great and highly recommended.
Great cottage we had a lovely stay and we're luck to have great weather. NW200 motorcycle races were fantastic and the coastal walk above Giants Causeway was spectacular. Bus route makes walks dead easy as you know you can get back.
We really enjoyed our second stay, after ten years. Everything was just as we remembered.
Extremely clean and everything that you could possibly need.
Thank you Betsy.
We had a fabulous stay at Betsy's place. It was clean, easy to get comfortable at, and in a great location for visiting the north coast.
A beautiful cottage much bigger than it looks on the photos. Very high standard furnishings and fittings, and within walking distance of the Giants Causeway.
The cottage is lovely. It has everything you need to enjoy your stay: a spacious kitchen, a cosy stove, a comfortable bed. Betsy is always just a message away, if you need any help or recommendation. I recommend staying at Ruby Stove Cottage!
