Amazing B&B in the outskirts of Dungannon. Lovely decorated with a nice touch from the old times. The grounds around the house are very well kept. And the owners are wonderful and very helpful.
U would definitely recommend it if you are in the area.

A house that is decorated for the 17th century but is clean as whistle. Nora and Ralph run a good show here with a tidy and quiet house. The food has won several awards and overall was great. I recommwnd you try the porridge. I would stay again.
