ACCOMMODATION
REVIEW
Built as a family home by Harry Jackson Clark during the reign of
Queen Victoria, Ardtara House is now an elegant country retreat
in the little village of Upperlands in southern Derry. Ardtara simply
exudes atmosphere and character and though it sounds like a cliché,
only the warmth of the hospitality extended will match the warmth
of your surroundings. With the old style service and array of antiques,
it often appears as though you are stepping back in time but for
the fact that the facilities at Ardtara very much belong in the
21st century.
The eight luxurious bedrooms are each individually
styled and offer panoramic views across the extensive eight acres
of grounds. Furnished throughout with antiques, Ardtara House
will satisfy the most discerning of visitors and is certainly
one of the most distinguished country houses in Northern Ireland.
The cuisine at Ardtara matches the quality of the surroundings
and the menu, which features the best in fresh local produce,
perfectly reflects the "Taste of Ulster".
First and foremost, Ardtara House is a veritable
golfer's paradise, located within 45 minutes of four top class
golf courses including Royal Portrush and Portstewart. There is
plenty to do and see in the area when not playing golf. Whether
shopping in nearby Derry or Ballymena or taking in the many attractions,
including the spectacular coastline, the Carrick-a-rede rope bridge,
the Bushmills Whiskey Distillery or the world-famous Giant's Causeway,
Ardtara Country House really is an excellent base from which to
explore and discover.
