In 2000 under the guidance of owners Oonagh & John O'Neill, Golfkeel was sympathetically converted from barns dating back over 240 years.
Lovingly restored, great attention was paid to retaining the original stonework and the end result is three cottages with exceptional character and old world charm, both featuring many period items.
All furniture and fittings were especially chosen and designed to give a relaxed country feeling, with both cottages boasting extremely comfortable family sized accommodation.
The three double bedrooms in Dovedale, Oatfield and The Loft are all on suite and are further complimented by traditional features such as pine floors, wood burning stoves and private furnished gardens, complete with patio and barbecue areas.
All three units have been awarded 5 Star Status by the Northern Ireland Tourist Board the highest and most sought after accolade.

Both Dovedale & Oatfield Cottage are wheelchair friendly with Category 1 Status in the National Accessible Scheme for wheelchair users and others with mobility problems.
