Shepherd's Crook

Gortin 1.9 miles.

Shepherd's Crook is an appealing shepherd’s hut in Newtownstewart, County Tyrone, with countryside and mountain views, off-road parking, and a garden.

Made for two, this single-storey hideaway offers a compact base for couples looking to fill their days with woodland walks, cycling trails, and adventures amid Northern Ireland’s scenery.

Step inside to find everything gathered neatly within a studio-style living space.

Begin the morning by putting the kettle on in the kitchen and preparing breakfast before mapping out the day ahead, then return later to share dinner in the dining area.

When evening arrives, the sitting area gives you somewhere to settle in with your companion and make plans for tomorrow.

A king-size bed sits within the same open space, while a separate shower room with a walk-in shower provides a place to freshen up after time on the trails.

Outside, take your morning coffee to the open garden, make use of the picnic bench, or fire up the barbecue as the surrounding countryside provides the backdrop.

One well-behaved pet is also welcome to join the adventure.

Newtownstewart places you close to a choice of memorable days out, including the Ulster American Folk Park, where you can delve into the story of Irish emigration.

Outdoor enthusiasts can head to Gortin Glen Forest Park and spend time among the woodland scenery and trails.

The Sperrin Mountains provide another enticing destination, particularly for couples keen to lace up their walking boots and discover the wider landscape together.

For another change of scenery, Drum Manor Forest Park offers the chance to build a woodland outing into your County Tyrone break.

With walking and cycling trails among the area's attractions, there are plenty of reasons to head outdoors.
