    Wonderful remote stay

    I stayed at Adrian and Lorna's lovely apartment on their property for nearly 2 weeks. It was an absolute pleasure. They were incredibly welcoming to me when I arrived and checked in with me frequently to make sure I had everything I needed. I felt very welcome and looked after by them. I would highly recommend staying with them if you're looking for a quiet, rural and peaceful location to relax. I hope some day to return to stay with them again.

    This place is a real gem: excellent location, beautiful surroundings, lovely hosts. Everything you'd need for a week or two exploring the province, well located for everything Ulster has to offer. Comfortable, well appointed self-catering accommodation: good shower, well equipped kitchen, very good internet connection and phone signal; warm, with a log burner too. Just around the corner from great drives through the Sperrin Mountains, and close enough to Belfast and the North Coast. Very good value, but through VRBO beware that it's all in US$, so your card might get charged, which is particularly irritating if you think you've made a sterling transaction!

    Rural home-from-home

    A spotlessly clean, modern cottage with a grassed outside space, with views of the sperrins. It is in close range of lovely country walks and glens and is also a hours easy drive to the beaches of the North Coast. The owners, Adrian and Lorna, went above and beyond to make us welcome. A memorable and eventful holiday!

    A very comfortable, relaxed stay with great hosts!

    This was a short visit to Northern Ireland en-route to Scotland, and Lorna and Adrian made us very comfortable for our time with them. The accommodation is perfect for a couple, and our chocolate lab Lola was made most welcome, making friends with Lorna and Adrian's pointer Layla, despite over a decade difference in age! Being so centrally located, we visited Belfast, Derry/Londonderry and the Giants Causeway while there, and would like to thank our hosts for their warmth and kindness during our stay!

    Adrian and Lorna may be the nicest people in all of Northern Ireland! They were so accommodating and everything was so clean and perfect. The house is set next to a beautiful farm. We woke up to cows sitting under our bedroom window and their dog Layla was such a nice dog, had a beautiful coat. I would definitely stay here again!

    A lovely family getaway.

    My wife, my one-year old son and I stayed at the property for four nights and had a wonderful first family holiday together. Lorna and Adrian welcomed us when we arrived and showed us around. There were some really nice touches such as milk in the fridge ready for a cup of tea after a morning of travelling from England. The location really suited us, tucked away in the countryside but still only a 5 minute drive from the local town and 10 minutes from a large supermarket. The main reason we came to Northern Ireland was to watch The Open at Portrush but we were also able to see the Giant’s Causeway and spend a day in Belfast. We really had a great time and my wife and I want to come back without our son next time so we can spend some time in the distilleries. If we do come back we would definitely stay with Lorna and Adrian again!

    Een perfecte uitvalsbasis voor Noord Ierland. Centraal

    Prima, eenvoudige vakantie woninkje, op het erf van de eigenaar. In een prachtige landelijke stille omgeving. En toch maar een paar kilometer van het dorp waar je je dagelijkse behoeften kunt halen. Vriendelijk behulpzame mensen. Bij iedereen aan te bevelen die rust en natuur zoekt.
