This is now the last station before Derry City on a line considered to be one of the most picturesque railway journeys in Ireland or Britain, and yes, the trains still stop at the door!! It is an ideal location for Golfing, Fishing, Walking or just a relaxing break in the country. It is located at the foot of the stunning Binevenagh Mountain and to the west are Lough Foyle and the hills of the Inishowen peninsula in Donegal.

The station has been renovated to a high standard and in two separate units. The Stationmaster's House is two-storey and overlooks the platform. It sleeps up to 7 and is made up of 2 bedrooms, a large sitting room with fireplace & double futon, kitchen/dining area and a large bathroom. The second unit is designed around the former waiting rooms, ticket office and luggage rooms. This unit can comfortably sleep 8. There are 2 permanent bedrooms, a sitting room with fire place (which can also be used as a third bedroom) and a very large kitchen/lounge area. The kitchen has a breakfast bar as well as a dining area and along with the old Ticket Hatch. The bathroom has a walk-in shower, hand-basin and WC. Click here to see images of renovations.

What previous guests have said....

• "A comfortable, well-equipped two bedroomed station cottage that sleeps 5 (plus cot), this is a lovely setting for a family holiday. It is situated close to local shops and is a 5 minutes drive from wonderful Benone beach that is perfect for children. There is excellent surfing, sand dunes and amenities with Life Guards on duty at all times. The cottage is also a short drive to many places of interest including the Giant’s Causeway, the rope bridge at Carrickarede, Portstewart, Portrush - all worth visiting. And to add to your holiday, there is the thrill of the Derry to Belfast train that stops at Bellarena station every day-great excitement for all !!!!"
