Maddybenny means "sanctified or holy post". The Farm house dates from the 1600s, when it was built as a Plantation house on lands belonging to the Earl of Antrim. Our Home, now extended and modernised, is situated 2 miles from the seaside resorts of Portstewart and Portrush . A wonderful area for touring sightseeing or just relaxing. The house is comfortably furnished in very fine antiques. Snooker and games room, quiet sitting areas. Cots and garden play area for children.

Legend has it that a giant called Finn McCool used these boulders as stepping stones to walk across the sea from Scotland. The visitor centre, which has a restaurant, audio visual theatre and a large gift emporium, is excellent. If you don't fancy the long walk down to the causeway (or, more to the point, the long walk up again) a minibus can take you there and back. BEACHES There are many wonderful Blue Flag beaches "Strands" along the coast. The sand goes on for miles and some are so firm that you are allowed to drive your car along them. If the weather's nice Portstewart Strand is a great place to go at sunset ... ask the courting couples. Indeed the song "Red sails in the sunset" was allegedly composed while watching the boats sailing off the strand.     Address : Loguestown Road, Coleraine , Antrim   Telephone / Fax : +44 028 7082 3394   Mobile:    Email: beds@maddybenny.com   Directions To Maddybenny Farm House
