Hi! My name is Judith, I am the proud owner of St Ronans along with my wonderful husband Stephen, we also have three wonderful grown up children. A number of years ago we decided that our home and the various beautiful outbuildings had a beautiful setting to allow us to open up our Cottages. Stephen and I love meeting new people from across the world and hearing a little snippet of their life stories. We also enjoy helping people to decide how to spend their time in Northern Ireland, and we share a great pride and passion for our beautiful country. We would love to welcome you to our home!

The original self-catering facility at St Ronans, The Cottage is a true home from home. Period features frame the open plan living area which has been recently refurbished with a modern feel. Perfect for small groups and families alike, our Cottages are the perfect home from home. St. Ronans Cottages “one of a kind” accommodation in Islandmagee was originally built in the early 1900’s and a series of outbuildings was totally renovated in May 2006. Situated along the Antrim Coastal route, our cottages are set in one acre of land with secluded gardens and private off road parking. St. Ronans Cottages offer every comfort you would expect from excellent accommodation, boasting original charm with some of the cottages offering exposed wooden beams, original stone walls and all offering a comfortable family atmosphere for a traditional Irish stay.
