Set in a rural location, 17 Buninver Road, is a wonderful base for families and friends looking to experience this region of Northern Ireland. Upon arrival you are greeted by two off-road parking spaces; take a moment to appreciate the tranquil countryside setting before stepping inside. Allow the chef of the group to get acquainted in the kitchen/diner, housing all the essentials for home-cooking, including a dishwasher, so you won’t have to lift a finger when washing up! As you look to unwind for the evening, get comfortable in the sitting room beside the open fire, or for some quiet time, there is a lovely snug that is perfect for reading. On warm evenings, spend a moment in the garden and appreciate the natural beauty of this Northern Irish location, before washing away the day in the shower room.

Plenty of hiking places and right in the midst of giant statues we did not know existed! Would recommend that the owner provide information about the house facilities.

The cottage was well equipped and the surrounding area is beautiful. Plenty of places to walk the dog or go for a swim at Gortin Glen lakes, there's a lovely cafe in Gortin and Omagh is great for a shopping trip.
