Despite the weather, we are finishing erecting 400m of fencing to protect new hedges and splitting wood for the winter. As mentioned in last month's news we have just purchased a new machine to help us to speed up the wood processing and it's certainly a lot easier than getting the axe out! Other jobs on the go at the moment include sorting out servicing of machinery and completing the annual leaf collection exercise - still a positive experience so far this year compared to last year's very wet end to the year.

Although we are no longer offering B&B, we do have availability for bookings for our self catering cottages for the remainder of 2009 - please refer to the 'Availability' section of the website for more information). Those guests staying in Faughan Cottage and Foyle Cottage can enjoy relaxing in front of the open fires, while those guests choosing Roe Loft can appreciate the fine views over the garden and surrounding hills.

There is lots to see and do in the local area and whatever the weather we are sure that you will have an enjoyable trip to the Sperrins and Drumcovitt. A great website resource for walking in N Ireland is available (Walk NI) which is worth checking out for all levels of walking. There's a horsey version too (NI Horseriding)! More information on a how to get involved in a wide range of outdoor activities can also be found here.

We are listed here in Alistair Sawday's Special Places to Stay guide.

We also have entries in Trip Advisor from previous guests which may be of interest, these are listed here.

We were also pleased that Drumcovitt has previously been nominated by some of our guests for entry into "The Good Hotel Guide 2007" and that "Georgina Campbell's Best of the Best Guide 2006" also included Drumcovitt.

Thank you for your kind words and recommendations to these two worthy guides- they do not charge for entries -places are included on merit. We are so delighted and just hope we can maintain the standards.
