Nothing was too much trouble for Martina, who provided the warmest welcome on our first evening, the best welcome hamper and most fully supplied kitchen Iâve ever seen in a holiday cottage, and so many other little touches to make us feel comfortable, from the plentiful supply of fluffy towels to the turf for the range. Cosy evenings by the warm range doing the jigsaw puzzles and playing some of the board games were another highlight of our stay. The house itself is in a great location - peaceful and secluded but within an hour or twoâs drive of all sorts of interesting places, so a great base from which to explore. It was a bonus to be so close to the Beaghmore Stone Circles, and weâll have to go back in more clement weather to explore the observatory and the delights of the night sky in this area which is so beautifully free of light pollution. There was ample parking for our car, and our son enjoyed riding his bike in the driveway. Had he been more proficient, the Stone Circles and Davagh Forest were an easy cycle ride away and a lovely place to visit. All in all, a lovely week in the perfect holiday cottage. None of us wanted to leave, and weâre all looking forward to our next visit.

Martina was absolutely wonderful, we had a medical emergency and she went out of her way to help us, honestly don't know what we would have done without her, thank you once again Martina from the bottom of our 3 heart's, your kindness was well and truly appreciated. It was great to meet and fuss lovely Jill, Martina's dog, we all fell in love with her. The big goodies hamper that greeted us, together with Martina of course, was a lovely surprise, great start to a great unforgettable holiday. Hope to get back again sometime in the near future, visited lot's of lovely interesting places and 2 lovely pubs very close by were great. We're all amazed at how lovely and friendly the Irish people are and go out of their way to help when needed, absolutely great

We had 2 little dogs with us and the facilities for them was amazing. The owner Martina was the most welcoming hostess, nothing was too much trouble. The farmhouse was cosy and very comfortable. Was also a lovely welcoming hamper from Martina 100% we will definitely be back. Loved every minute there.
