The most unique places to stay on the Causeway Coast

The most unique places to stay on the Causeway Coast
The most unique places to stay on the Causeway Coast are the ones built into the landscape itself: rooms set into a mountain, cabins that rotate to follow the view, and a cottage that looks straight out to the sea. If you're after amazing, unique places to stay on the Causeway Coast rather than another standard hotel room, this is where the north coast gets interesting. Here are three of the most unusual, all in one place at the foot of Binevenagh near Limavady.
Rooms set into the mountain
The Caves (https://tirhollowretreat.co.uk/stays/the-caves) are three rooms built into the foot of Binevenagh, looking out over two spring-fed trout lakes. It's about as close as you'll come to sleeping inside a mountain. Hazel and Pine sleep up to four with full kitchens, and Oak is a cosier room for two, all with hot tub access, a fire pit and forest on every side. It's quiet, warm and completely unlike a conventional room.
Cabins that turn to follow the view
The Turnaround Houses (https://tirhollowretreat.co.uk/stays/turnaround-houses) are the real head-turner: rotating cabins in Northern Ireland that spin a full 360 degrees. You turn the whole living space to face the sunrise over the Magilligan foreland, the mountain through the day, or the sunset in the evening. Ash and Birch each sleep up to four, with a private hot tub and a private fire pit and BBQ hut. Rotating cabins are rare anywhere, which makes these one of the most unique stays on the entire coast.
A cottage with a foreland view
Not every unique stay has to be unusual to be special. Atlantic View Cottage (https://tirhollowretreat.co.uk/stays/atlantic-view-cottage) is a dog-friendly self-catering cottage that looks out at the foreland and the mountain, rated the best value holiday cottage in Limavady. It's the pick if you want your own space, your own kitchen and the dog along for the trip.
Why the setting makes them special
What ties these stays together is where they are. The retreat sits inside the Binevenagh area of outstanding natural beauty, one of Northern Ireland's protected landscapes, with cliffs, beaches and the whole Causeway Coast a short drive away.

Unique architecture is one thing, but it's the quiet, the lakes and the views that make a stay here stick with you.
