About this property

Greencastle 7.6 miles. Nestled on the outskirts of Gortin, is this lovely shepherd hut, Shepherds Retreat Glenlark. Enjoying a superb location behind the owner’s home, with far-reaching views of the Sperrin Mountains and surrounding countryside, Shepherds Retreat Glenlark is a fantastic base for couples seeking a relaxing hideaway. Upon arrival, you will find off-road parking and a wonderful front garden with furniture and a fire pit, ideal for dining alfresco or enjoying evenings around the fire with a glass of wine. Step into the open-plan living space, where you will find a small, well-equipped kitchen for rustling up tasty dishes, ready to savour at the breakfast bar for two, before relaxing on the bench seating in front of a much-loved show on the TV. After an adventure-filled day, head through to the well-appointed shower room where you can freshen up, before climbing into the sumptuous double bed to catch up on some well-deserved rest. Your local amenities can be found in Greencastle, where you can treat your other half to a delicious meal and local ales at Eddie’s Bar, or stock up on essentials at the convenience store. Continue onto Gortin, where you can enjoy leisurely strolls along the Owenkillew River, enjoy a date night at the popular Hidden Pearl Restaurant and Wine Bar, picnic in St Drézéry Park, or enjoy leisurely hikes through the Gortin Glen Lakes and the Gortin Glen Forest Park.
