About this property
A traditional, little cottage rests amidst the wonderful Northern Irish countryside, a few miles from the village of Gortin. 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. There are three bedrooms to choose from, including 2 king-size and one single, each offering crisp white bed linen and ample storage. For those keen fishers, the nearby river offers salmon and trout fishing, whilst Gortin Glen Forest Park offers a magnitude of walking opportunities with breath-taking scenery, as well as mountain biking in specific parts of the forest. Situated in the Sperrins, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty there are walks and cycle rides to enjoy. Visit the delightful town of Plumbridge a short drive away offering all of your amenities and split by the luscious Glenlelly River. 17 Buninver Road offers a relaxing break in a tranquil part of Northern Ireland.
Northern Ireland's County Tyrone contains the charming village of Gortin, home to hospitable residents. Despite being small, it has everything you could possibly need, including three pubs, a few restaurants, and a few stores for all your necessities. The Sperrins, a region of outstanding natural beauty, is home to beautiful walking and cycling trails. Rivers, streams, lakes, and beautiful glens may all be found in the hilly valleys of the Sperrins, which provide a tranquil retreat from the hustle and bustle of daily life. From easier to harder grades, the nearby Gortin Glen Forest is an excellent site for mountain biking enthusiasts and offers walking pathways.

My three girls loved the house. Would definitely return, lots of toys/board games to keep them busy, along with the land! Stunning animals nearby. Large rooms, 2 living rooms. All kitchen equipped. Overall very clean, few bits and bobs but nothing to shout about. Would definitely want to rebook when we return in may.

Or just simply if you need to explore beautiful Sperrin landscape area. Cottage is well equipped, kitchen has it all, washing machine, dishwasher, fridge-freezer, retro but fully functional and clean oven. During our stay we found a lot of spices, dry food, even serial so more than enough for your late quick bite or morning snack before you go to the shop. Even the starter pack for the fireplace. It was just absolutely amazing. Not far from the cottage there is a Gortin Glen forest park, that I highly recommend to visit and Gortin Lakes.

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.
