Really difficult to leave!

Oh my goodnes...this is the most wonderful place! So many small touches that made it special, plus it's extremely comfortable, the hosts are lovely, flowers - gorgeous, view -spectacular...I would love to go back for a longer stay. I gave the location only three stars because there isn't anything in walking distance, but there are stores, pubs and restaurants a shortish drive away. Be warned that the restaurants seem to have very limited hours. For us this was a small price to pay, but it might be an issue for others, or for those making a longer stay. We were happy with each of the places we stayed - in Dublin, Derry, Belfast, and Bushmills, but this was by far the most memorable.

Picturesque

We had a wonderful stay! Easy to find and centrally located for all of our excursions. Charlie and Bernie are wonderful and generous hosts. The Bothy has everything you could need- well equipped kitchen and laundry facilities. The heated floor in the downstairs bath was a nice touch! Wish we could have stayed longer!

The Secret Garden

My Family & I have just spent two wonderful nights at this beautiful, charismatic, converted barn with unbelievable views of the Sperrin Mountains. Bernadette had kindly left some bits for us; milk, bread, butter, coffee, tea & sugar. We felt this was a lovely touch as the cottage is well equipped with everything you would need. We had a toddler with us & a cot/stair gates were provided. A BBQ & outdoor seating area where we cooked one evening. We touched lucky and got great weather. The cottage itself is beaming with charm and the garden compliments it beautifully. We would most definitely choose this place for a family or friend trip away in the future. Highly recommend.
