    We loved the cottage, it was a perfect size for 2 adults & 2 kids. It was cute & cosy, lots of personal touches and loved the open fire! Especially as we got very wet one day so lovely to come home and light the fire. Great base for exploring, we...

    The cottage was perfect for our stay. It was within walking distance to the Gobbins and the ice cream store near the goblins, the restaurants in town and the Blackhead lighthouse walk. If you are a golfer it is right across the road from the golf...

Temple-Effin, which owes its name to the local townland, is a completely refurbished self-contained cottage. Temple-Effin cottage has two bedrooms (one upstairs with one double and one single bed) and a ground floor single bedroom, living room with a welcoming open fire, kitchen, bathroom and a rear area ideal for al fresco dining, as well as a private garden area. Parking is available at the front of the cottage. Free Wi-Fi is available to use.
Hello all and welcome! I am excited to be able to help guests feel at home at my quaint cosy cottage, Temple-Effin . I have owned Temple-Effin Cottage for for many years and having recently renovated it, I decided to make it a holiday let for guests to enjoy. I was born in Belfast and grew up in Whitehead. My family and I love coming 'home' to visit friends and family and explore/ revisit this beautiful area. Personally, I find coming 'home' very relaxing and is my favourite place to recharge the batteries! My son loves it and when he was a toddler he thought Whitehead was like being on the Island of Sador (Thomas The Tank Engine). I will do my very best to make your stay comfortable. I will be available throughout your stay via mobile and email. Please see your manual in the cottage for contact details and further information. Temple-Effin Cottage is safe and sanitised and further details on our cleaning regime will be emailed to guests upon booking. Further information on how to reach myself during your stay is detailed within the information pack at the cottage.
It is the perfect touring base for many attractions in Northern Ireland including the dramatic Victorian coastal walk of the Gobbins Pathway only 1.2 miles away from Temple-Effin Cottage. Breathtaking walks and cycle routes abound or if it’s a round of golf you want from a clifftop course, then Whitehead Golf Club less than a mile away won’t disappoint. I highly recommend a walk up to Blackhead Lighthouse (1.1miles from the cottage). If you continue on this walk it will then leads you down to Whitehead Promenade and into the town where there are some fabulous cafes great local amenities.
