While you're here

Our Recommendations

You could genuinely not leave the decking for two days and we would not blame you. But if you do fancy getting out, this is what is on the doorstep.

Half a mile away

McKenna’s Bar

Northern Ireland and our local area offer various attractions and places to dine. Just half a mile away is McKenna’s Bar, a traditional Irish pub. To get there, walk down the farm lane and turn right, then take the short walk along the Lough Neagh shore road — Loughview Road — until you come to a right-hand turning, opposite Ballyginniff Sand Quay. The bar doesn’t serve food, but provides drinks and big craic.
