Charlotte Dixon had never expected to become a business owner when she spotted a property up for sale on the north coast. Fast forward a year, the Co Derry woman has found a new passion since opening her stylish boutique hotel in Portrush.
Originally from Portstewart, Charlotte left home to study in Scotland before moving to England but her heart was always with the coast wherever she went. Opening Elephant Rock Hotel has allowed her to leave her mark in the place she loves so much.
Speaking to Belfast Live, she said: "I left at 18 to study Chemistry at the University of St. Andrews, which is in a small coastal town in Scotland not too dissimilar to home. I stayed there after graduating to complete a Ph.D in Physical Chemistry.
