This is a great property with all of the amenities. It is surrounded by rolling green hills and forests. Its isolation meant no internet or cellphone. What a wonderful break. It was deliciously quiet. Just us and the sheep. Good walks from property both along the creek and into the forests. Nearby ancient stone circles a few miles away were fascinating. Two trips into Cookstown during the week provided all of the supplies we needed.

Gemütliches Haus. Wunderschöne, völlig abgeschiedene Umgebung - soweit das Auge reicht menschenleer und grün. Kein Handyempfang oder Festnetz, deshalb war uns etwas mulmig, aber solange es keinen Notfall gibt ist es herrlich. Zuviel Teppich, für ein (dog friendly) Ferienhaus und für meinen Geschmack. Trotzdem - ich würde es kaufen, wenn ich im Lotto gewinnen würde :-)

Shepherds Retreat

We spent two nights here. We were warm and comfortable. Very beautiful surroundings. What spoiled our stay was the presence of MICE around the house! Watch YouTube Ray Comfort 10 out of 10
