Altahammond House, at Belfast Road, has been given the go-ahead to host ceremonies.

The B&B and barn wedding reception venue opened in July 2019 following the purchase and investment of £0.5m by Tom and Heather McMaster of McMaster Home Farm Meats.

The six-bed scenic period property is situated on Altahammond Farm.

Commenting at time of the opening, Tom said:  “I’m a farmer by trade. The family farm supplies our butcher shop in Whitehead with our own grass-fed beef and lamb.

“We then ventured into the outside catering arena which has taken us to all manner of venues across Northern Ireland to cater for weddings – all using our own produce.

“We’re delighted to open the period Altahammond House as a luxury B&B and to develop it further as a new wedding venue set against a scenic estate and gardens with stunning coastal views.

“Weddings cover a large proportion of the business we do. We’re able to maximise our offering by providing a full service, from supplying product, to catering for the event, and hosting the reception.”
