My family had a wonderful stay here. The owners - John and Siobhan, met us when we arrived and gave us a quick tour and answered all of our questions. We wish we could have stayed longer!

Lovely Stay
Our stay in Magherafelt was lovely in every way. From the moment we arrived we felt very welcomed. Our hosts, Siobhan and John, were simply wonderful. They greeted us, gave us a tour of the house, explained any thing we may have needed to know and answered all questions we had. They had some local goodies for us to try and a wee milk in the fridge for our mornings. The house was decorated very cute. The front porch had lovely views for us to enjoy our morning coffee. My only regret is that we did not get to spend more time here. Thank you so much Siobhan and John for your hospitality!
Our stay at the Sperrinview House in Magherafelt was fantastic, our hosts were very accommodating and had lots of good advice for the surrounding "to do's". Communicating with our hosts was easy and they were quick with the responses. The house was neat, tidy and had all the amenities that we needed. The view from the front patio is the highlight of the property, and our hosts looked after everything that we needed. Thanks for a wonderful stay.

Fabulous home, fantastic hosts
John and Siobhan are outstanding hosts and their home, Sperrinview is a lovely, comfortable and spacious accommodation.
We recently spent 2 nites at Sperrinview and could not be happier with our stay!
Without going into great detail, our rental car broke down enroute to Sperrinview. As a result we were delayed by several hours in arriving at Sperrinview. When we finally did arrive, John was waiting for us, he welcomed us into the home, showed us around and had even started a fire for us in the living room fireplace!
After what was an extremely stressful day, coming “home” to a comfortable couch and a roaring fire was to say the least, extremely comforting!
And if that was not enough, the next day when we had difficulty connecting w/ the rental car company, John agreed to come to the house and let us use his phone to call the rental car company. Then when the car company said it would take over 6 hours to get get a replacement car to us,John offered to drive us to Belfast Airport to pick up the replacement car.
John and Siobhan’s kindness and caring attitude “saved” our holiday! Because of them
we were able to PU the replacement vehicle in a timely manner and continue our tour of Northern Ireland and the “Giants Causeway”
We HIGHLY recommend Sperrinview, John and Siobhan!

Beautiful, comfortable, restful
This beautifully renovated farm house had everything we needed. It was the perfect place to forget about work and it is situated close to plenty of sight-seeing attractions. The host was so kind and accommodating, leaving a few food essentials for us -- coffee, tea, etc. -- on the first day. Loved it!
