There were only two good things about this cottage.
The view and the heating. The rest was unacceptably bad.We booked this cottage after confirming by phone with Sykes from the owner that there was a gate on the property . No gate until we complained and was fitted Friday, did not fit so was adjusted Friday evening, too late for our holiday. They admitted trouble with contract cleaners and when we arrived late, dishwasher still full of previous weekâs crockery, house very dirty. Cooker should be condemned. Pots and oven trays and toaster replaced Monday night, dispute over rest of cottage which I had spent time on cleaning so we could even sleep and eat there. I was unsure if sheets and pillowcases had been changed as smelt sweaty. Curtains off poles. Shabby furnishings. Shower drain no cover. Pans rusty and kettle so full of limescale that we stopped using it by end of week. Chopping board a health hazard. I am sure that they have done some very necessary work on this place in view of my many complaints but booker beware. This was the worst cottage we have ever stayed in over the years and I found Sykes to be slow with action taken, which wasnât much. What isnât mentioned in the information is that you are advised to use bottled water due to the high magnesium levels. However they did supply some bottles. Have not submitted a review until now as my husband taken Iâll on return from holiday.

Thank you for sharing your property.
We found the key lock safe easy to use. We were always able to find a free parking space behind the cottage, parking our car in a secure location was reassuring. The kitchen and dining area was well equipped, except no extractor fan or grill rack in pan for oven grill. When you use the 2 hob stove for frying the smoke is not cleared quickly enough to avoid setting off smoke alarms, just frying a few sausages set off both smoke alarms. The dishwasher worked well but there was only one dishwasher tablet and the handle on the dishwasher integrated door was too small to get a grip to open easily. There was no BBQ for holiday use as detailed in property guide file. There is a flickering bulb in the kitchen luckily we could see well enough with the other useable bulbs, so just never turned on flickering bulb. In one kitchen cupboard was an out of date coconut oil and sprouting potatoes. The bedrooms were clean and tidy with sufficient facilities and equipment, except no hand towels on first floor for bathroom. The blinds gave sufficient darkness on dull days but did not give sufficient darkness/Shade on sunny days. We were not too disturbed by road noise at night, we just accepted it during day as it is by a major route to Belfast.

It is a very nice cottage to accommodate 4 couples with 4 en-suit units.
Fairly priced, convenient for car access and ideal for travelers to explore both Northern Ireland and the south. The kitchen and dinning area are also fit for purpose. The parking space within the gates is enough for 4 cars, more than the web stated 2 cars. We are very happy to be there for 6 nights. There are some recommendations for improvement: Some taps and toilet flushing switches are not functioning smoothly; Some central heating panels are not working (some of us felt a bit cold in the first two nights due to the temperature drop); Provide a fly-swatter if possible (a few flies tried to share the food with us and we could not find a easy way to get rid of them). Considering the price, we should not complaint about these minor flaws and we hope anyone reading this review would not be discourage to rent this cottage.

Loved the Shepherdâs Retreat.
Everything we needed was provided including the welcome scones, bottled water & generous logs for fire. Thoroughly enjoyed switching off from world and enjoying peace. Recommend using road from Draperstown to head into cottage as we tried all the various routes and it was by far the best road (watch out for sheep/lambs on roads). Only slightly negative feedback was from my friend who slept in double bed who said mattress could do with replacing as itâs sagging and too uncomfortable for good night sleep. Single beds were super comfortable though. Only addition Iâd recommend would be putting in a phone for emergencies (locked against outgoing calls all but emergency ones) as if our families needed us theyâd have had to wait for us to leave the valley to get in touch.

If you like isolation then this the property is for you.
Quite remote and I think that this could have been explained better in the property details. If your life is controlled by your mobile then this property will also be an issue for you as no WIFI or phone signal. Cottage was generally in good order but bathroom could do with a facelift especially the radiator. Also the microwave has seen better days. Property just needs some TLC... I would suggest updating photos as I think they may be a few years old or update property to look more like photos especially outside! I do not wish to sound too critical as some people will absolutely love this property but unfortunately not for me and my partner and I should have conducted better research.
