Spacious old cottage, with dog-friendly enclosed spaces outside and a lovely view over the river. Remarkably we saw an otter on the riverbank..
Newtonstewart is a good central location for travelling. It has a good butcher, takeaways and mini-supermarkets. We enjoyed Sunday lunch in the dog-friendly bar at The Mellon, on the road to Omagh.
We enjoyed our stay at the cottage. It is on a tiny road that can be easily missed first time getting to - but makes for a really quiet setting. The cottage was just as pictured and there's a large field on the other side of the river which made for nice walks (the bridge is just a 15 minute walk away)
Great location, a short walk into town and nice views of the river. I had to work so really appreciated the reliable wifi, very warm and cosy. Unfortunately the weather was not good enough to use the patio. Beware low doorways and bedroom ceilings if you're tall, not a problem for me and my partner has just about regained consciousness from all his head banging!

Comfortable stay
Was disappointed in the condition of the yard. The grass was so tall in the back they we could not enjoy sitting outside. The house feels as though it is located in an alley. The beds were very comfortable:)
Really enjoyed our stay, the cottage is beautiful, very comfortable. Beds are amazing, great couple of nights sleep for everyone. Shower is great, greay power. Kitchen was bigger than I thought it would be amd view out kitchen window stunning. Being able to connect netflix and prime was a bonus. Safe parking to side of property, big enough for 2 large cars. Great chippy in the town, just 5 min walk. Really enjoyed it.
Had a lovely stay at the cottage. Very comfortable and relaxing setting. Loved every moment.
Easy to find, yet tucked away so nice and quiet and very private.
Had everything needed, and everything worked well. Loved the big bathroom, brilliant shower and great deep bath
Owner was very pleasant and welcoming, which was perfect, and the local people were friendly and helpful.
We will return again soon. Many thanks for a lovely stay
We had trouble finding the address, as that quoted did not exist on the map. We parked and walked about, found the pretty little cottage and the better entry. Fine.
The cottage is a lovely old two bedroom cottage located on a quiet and private road above the river.
It is a walk into the main street for food and entertainment. The kitchen was functional. The bathroom was luxurious.
The outdoor setting overlooked the river and the countryside
A good base to travel about theSperri s and central Ireland / Northern Ireland.
This lovely little cottage is an ideal location for exploring the Sperrins Scenic Routes, of which there are four. The cottage itself had everything we needed for self-catering. The deck, table and chairs on the riverbank were very much appreciated on hot September evenings.
The only criticism I have ( and it is not a criticism of the cottage), there are no street names to point you in the right direction, so even though we knew more or less where we were going, we overshot the turnoff. GPS is your friend in this situation.
We had a lovely stay at the cottage we stayed for four nights. Lovely and warm. Decking overlooking the river at the back of the property was delightful. The cottage is very private and peaceful.
Altho we thought the cottage its self was nice and the hosts seemed nice altho didn't meet which was grand, arrived to cottage heating was on and we lit the fire all good, started looking about we were ready to load the car and home due to the filth of the place (we have pics to back this up), doors were filthy, cupboard doors filthy, crumbs in cupboards, even crumbs over the toaster. Ended up going to Asda in Strabane to buy towels throws, forks and glasses, got a chinese asked for extra tubs to eat from sorry guys wasn't for us and I really hate leaving reviews
I brought my 8yr old son and my 2 small dogs to the cottage. It was the first time I had taken my dogs to stay anywhere and it was perfect for them. We were blessed with the most amazing weather and took full advantage of the cottages picnic area, having a bbq each night we were there and made great use of the river beside us. We had the most wonderful little get away and the only downside was that I wish it had of been for longer as 2 nights just flew by. We loved every minute of it and the fact there is no WiFi was a positive as it meant that my son and I spent so much quality time together. Thank you

Why they chose this property
I think Newtownstewart is an ideal base to discover the north of ireland and Donegal. It is only 8 miles for the lovely Gortin Glens and 3 miles for the Bessie Bell mountain walk
