Absolutely wonderful stay at this property. It was very clean, has every amenity, a well kitted out kitchen. Very cozy, quiet but also close enough to grab groceries and enjoy local sites. The hosts are amazing! We would definitely stay here again, or recommend it to family and friends.

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!

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!

Relaxing place to visit
Received a very warm welcome from Lorna and Adrian. The apartment was clean and comfortable and very well equipped. The location afforded a tranquil spot to rest and relax but was convenient to all amenities and transport routes and the surrounding countryside was beautiful. The local people were very friendly and everyone seemed to enjoy a chat! Would highly recommend a stay at Sperrin View apartment

Ideal Holiday Base in Mid-Ulster
This accommodation is located just outside the small town of Moneymore in a peaceful rural setting with views of the Sperrin Mountains. The accommodation is ideal for a couple or single traveller. The accommodation comprises en-suite bedroom, sitting room (with log burning stove) and kitchen. It has every appliance you require for a self-catering holiday, including access to laundry facilities. It is an ideal base for exploring the Sperrin Mountains, the towns of Magherafelt and Cookstown, and the area to the west and north of Lough Neagh. We would highly recommend a visit to the Seamus Heaney Homeplace in nearby Bellaghy, and one of the branches of the famous Ditty's Bakery in Magherafelt or Castledawson. Adrian and Lorna proved exceptional hosts. They made us most welcome, providing valuable advice on practical matters relating to our stay, as well as information on places to visit in the locality. They could not have done more to ensure we enjoyed our stay. This accommodation is excellent value for money and highly recommended.
