The second bedroom at Hawthorn Cottage has two single beds plus an extra bed. It's super cozy and perfect for a good night's sleep. As someone with physical handicaps, I really appreciate the comfortable and accessible layout of the room.

While the bathroom is spacious, I personally would have preferred a walk-in shower instead of the roll-top bath. But hey, that's just my personal preference.

The garden at the back of the hotel is like a hidden oasis, with beautiful furniture and the sweet aroma of fruit trees. It's the perfect spot for a peaceful breakfast or a serene evening under the stars. The kitchen in the hotel is equipped with a dishwasher, making it super convenient to clean up after preparing a delicious meal. No more slaving over dishes on your vacation! The friendly hens on the property provide a unique experience - you can collect your own eggs for breakfast! It's like a farm-to-table experience, but with a touch of adventure. The property has every modern amenity you could hope for, ensuring a comfortable and convenient stay. From WiFi in public areas to a washing machine and dryer, they've got you covered. If you're up for some exploration, the hotel offers free use of bicycles. Imagine cycling through the picturesque countryside, feeling the cool breeze and immersing yourself in the beauty of nature. The second bedroom with its two single beds and an extra bed is perfect for friends or a small family. It provides ample space for a restful night's sleep after a day of exploring.

Limited supply of cooking utensils.

I had a wonderful stay at a charming cottage nestled in the tranquil Sperrin countryside. The cottage had a perfect blend of modern amenities and traditional coziness. My 4-year-old son loved playing table tennis and exploring the spacious garden. We enjoyed evening dinners with the BBQ facilities and outdoor table. Our host went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, even allowing my son to collect fresh eggs in the morning. The cottage provided a peaceful retreat while also being a great base for exploring the surrounding area, including beautiful forest parks and the American Folk museum. I highly recommend this hidden gem for a relaxing and enjoyable stay.

None - everything was perfect.

Our children loved collecting fresh eggs each morning and exploring the stunning countryside. The nearby village was friendly and the Centra shop was handy.

For dads, it would be great to have a small playground for the children.
