About

Welcome to The Botháns – mountain hideaways with a difference.

Individually curated cabins, completely secluded, nestled in Binevenagh’s Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, on the North Coast of Ireland.

Spread over 13 acres, The Botháns are a place to escape, explore, unwind and recharge. Each cabin is nestled in a field of its own – creating your own little hideaway. 

Two handcrafted cabins, offering curated luxury and designed to embrace their stunning surroundings. Cook a delicious meal in the handmade kitchen or on the firepit outside. Enjoy a cosy morning lie-in in the comfy king size bed or blissfully soak surrounded by nature in the woodfired outdoor bath. 

Cabin one – The Hideaway 

Our cosy two-person cabin, nestled on the banks of The Botháns lake, is perfect for a romantic getaway, an escape to the countryside or a tranquil base to explore the stunning Causeway Coast.  Thoughtfully designed with everything you need to relax, recharge and explore. Crafted with tranquil lakeside views, brimming with nature all around. 

The cabin includes: 

- open plan living, bedroom, kitchen area with woodburner
