Great week in Northern Ireland! Beautiful countryside even in this terrible weather! Lots of great pubs to warm up in as well as cozy Samphreda Holiday cottage! Thanks Pam & Martin. Shane, New York, USA Stayed 20/03/13

We said we'd be back and here we are! We are glad to be back, to this lovely cottage and this stunning part of the world! Seeing parts of Ireland in the winter was amazing and well worth the colder climate (just pack a scarf, gloves, and a good coat). I really managed well around the cottage with my walking sticks and my wheelchair! Independence is a big thing to me. Oh! and the welcome pack and well stocked kitchen was a great surprise and made our first night much easier! I don't want to leave but I know we'll be back. x Pete Pembridge, Herefordshire Stayed 25/11/12 - 02/12/12

We had a few enjoyable days here at Samphreda. The house is very well equipped and in a great location. Caroline and Pam were an absolute pleasure to deal with too! Thank you ladies. Fran, Kent Stayed 07/07/12

A fantastic weekend which surpassed my expectations. The cottage and surrounding countryside are beautiful. A trip to the Silent Valley is a must (don't forget your camera!) I have stayed in many holiday cottages and this is by far the most peaceful and the information book, the best I have ever seen. Thank you Martin & Pam. Donna, Welshpool Stayed 25/06/12

Our first time in Northern Ireland and we could not have picked a better cottage. It was perfect for my disabled husband as everything is on the level once you get in the little step at the back door. It was perfect for our second honeymoon and when we got there Pam and Martin had got us a lovely bottle of wine and a card, a lovely touch and a perfect start to our holiday. Samphreda has all the stunning charm of a traditional Irish cottage with everything thing modern life has to offer. The gardens are lovely and well kept, there is a lovely decking area and barbecue, the sun shone and we spent many evenings sat there. The cottage is in a perfect location the Mourne Mountains can be seen from the back garden and the sea is within five minutes from the cottage, we can recommend Tollymore park forest and for a lovely meal pop along go to the Golf Links restaurant in Newcastle. Annemarie & Pete. Stayed 17/06/12

If we have to visit N. Ireland, definitely look forward for Samphreda. I will recommend to my friends as well. Thanks for your help Pam.

Perfect place to relax & unwind: review by paulineee

We had a wonderful trip to Northern Ireland. The cottage is beautiful and is the perfect place to relax & unwind.

It has been newly decorated & everything is new.
The beds are really comfortable and the owners have thought of everything - even a picnic hamper to use on the lovely walks in the surrounding countryside.

The rural location means that a car is necessary and there are some lovely beaches nearby as well as a couple of beautiful forest parks.

We really enjoyed our stay.

Thank you Samphreda - we'll be back!
