The Ideal Base for those who love the Outdoors

9 Individually designed bedrooms

Property overview

Set amidst 10 acres of beautiful gardens and woodland, Upperlands Retreat is an elegantly restored 19th century mansion. The house has great charm, elegance and character which offers you, your family and friends a unique opportunity to enjoy the luxury of having a private home yet enjoying Northern Irish hospitality at its best. The house is available to hire on an exclusive basis allowing your guests to retire to one of our 9 elegantly designed bedrooms. This stunning space is conveniently located in the heart of Mid Ulster at the foothills of the Sperrin Mountains just 50 minutes from Belfast, 40 minutes from Derry and 30 minutes from Coleraine.

Accommodation

The house was built by Harry Clark as a romantic and lively family home around 1896. The individually designed bedrooms are filled with character and original features, furnished with a mixture of antiques, heirlooms and quirky pieces. Each elegant en suite bathroom features a high pressure shower while many are clad in Italian marble or have their original wooden floors. The king size beds have orthopedic mattresses and are dressed with crisp white cotton bed-linen. Eight of the bedrooms have an original fireplace with a working fire, and as Upperlands Retreat is tucked away in 10 wooded acres amongst rolling fields on the edge of the village a tranquil night’s sleep is sure to follow.

Location

The Walled City of Derry’s unparalleled setting, fine architecture, wealth of history and thriving arts, music and foodie scenes make it a fantastic place to spend a few days. If you do nothing else in County Londonderry, you should linger around The Walls, feel dwarfed, and then walk the one mile around them – all for free. The only completely intact city walls in Ireland, they stand 26 feet high and 30 feet wide. The Guildhall is a must-see major city landmark, full of stunning stained-glass windows, an exhibition on the Plantation of Ulster and more. Why not take a “wee dander” across the Peace Bridge spanning the River Foyle. The views from the bridge are superb, but on the other side is Ebrington Square, a historic old military barracks and hub for cultural events and concerts. Take a tour of The Siege Museum, a permanent exhibition of the history of the Siege of Londonderry and the Associated Clubs of the Apprentice Boys of Derry, including artefacts, video and interactive media. The Tower Museum is spread over five floors and its uppermost level gives stunning panoramic views of the inner city and River Foyle. Increase your knowledge of Northern Ireland’s more contemporary history at the Museum of Free Derry, dedicated to the story of the civil rights movement in the 1960s. Derry, Londonderry has 1,500 years of history and culture enclosed within Ireland’s only completely walled city.
