Pottering about in Portadown

Ballydougan Pottery Courtyard Cottages make for a dreamy country retreat. It’s ideal for a break with friends, a romantic getaway or a restful base for a family holiday. There’s golfing and fishing nearby. Or you could try your hand at pottery with classes on site.

Portadown’s Seagoe Hotel (4*) is a firm favourite with families. Much of which is down to the friendly staff who all take a real interest in making your stay as enjoyable as possible. If you like to get out and about there’s plenty to see nearby, such as Moneypenny’s Lock and Ardress House. Or if you’re looking for local café society, try Smyth & Cleaver Foodhall or Chimes.

Orchard County living – your way

In the picturesque conservation village of Loughgall, Molly’s Barn is purpose-built for holiday getaways. Catering for just 5, it means you have the house to yourself.

Yet, should you want more company, you’re within easy reach of country parks and museums. And it’s just 5 miles to the Cathedral City itself. Molly’s Barn makes a point of welcoming families, cyclists, golfers, bikers, walkers (with and without their dogs) and many more. Though not at all at once.

A farming heritage

Close to the Blackwater Heritage Trail and the historic villages of Tynan and Caledon, College Hall Cottage (4*) is on a family run working farm and part of the original farm building. Walkers, cyclists and anglers feel right at home here in the spacious rooms. With its own boarding kennels, dogs are accommodated too. As are your bikes, with storage facilities available.

A regal adventure

Glorious times rule on the stunning Killeavy Castle Estate (4*) at the base of Slieve Gullion. The self-contained Grade A listed castle offers a truly unique experience for a special occasion. The hotel beautifully combines the best of old and new, having been converted from its original form as a mill and a coach house into an elegant contemporary space.

For those who like the independence of self-catering, the Gatelodge is the perfect base for activity holidays. The Estate’s farm and walled garden supply fresh produce daily and if you’re looking to completely switch off and indulge yourself there is a spa which hosts seven treatment rooms, each with their own unique style and purpose.

Historic houses

On the edge of the small village of Magheralin, Newforge House (5*) is a historic family-run country house offering warm hospitality, luxurious rooms and local seasonal food. In fact, you may well be greeted on arrival by the friendly chickens who supply your morning egg. Six individually furnished bedrooms mix splendid antiques with contemporary comforts – each room a tribute to the six generations who’ve lived here through the years.

Family Favourites

With a name like Fairylands Country House, it’s clearly a spot that welcomes the little people. Close to the historic Navan Fort, this B&B delivers a magical break away for the grown-ups too.

Travelling Ruff

Your furry friends are as important to us as they are to you. So they’ve got their choice of accommodation too.
