The outbuildings have been transformed into six unique cottages each with their own charm and warmth. The buildings themselves have been renovated to retain their original features and yet have all the facilities needed for the modern traveller. The grounds are a mixture of manicured lawns and wildflower gardens with a communal fire pit for all guests to enjoy. We are also excited to announce that from 1<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">st<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> October, guests will be able to book the newly decorated Manor House, where they can relax in one of the four poster beds while planning their adventures for the day\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Angela added: \u201cWe are hoping our four-star grading will give guests the confidence and assurance that they will have a lovely stay with us.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Limepark Cottages in Armoy, County Antrim, have been awarded four stars by Tourism NI.\u00a0 Situated near Ballymoney the cottages are ideal for exploring the picturesque views of the north coast and beautiful Glens of Antrim.
