- The Lake Kilrea, Jungle NI and Lough Neagh within 25 minutes' drive
- Private hot tub and firepit for each cabin; dogs and kids welcome
Settling in for a chilled-out rural break is a cinch at Mill Lodges, in the Co. Londonderry countryside just outside the village of Upperlands.
With easy access from the A29, getting here is straightforward – and once you’re in there’s very little you need to do other than perhaps sort out a drink of your choice and head out on to your private terrace to soak up the views. Beds will be made up for you, towels are provided, and each cosy cabin has been kitted out with most of what you should need for a relaxed getaway.
Aside from the bedrooms, each cabin has its own bathroom and an open-plan living, dining and kitchen area, with a sofa, TV, dining table and plenty of useful kitchen kit (including a cooker, fridge-freezer, microwave, kettle, toaster and washer-dryer). Outside, your private space has a swing seat, outdoor table, firepit and – surely the highlight of the whole thing – a private hot tub where you can bubble away while looking out at the rural views.
Fancy cooking outside as well? Head over to the communal area, which has a shared barbecue for guest use. Other shared facilities include a play area to help you wear the kids out for a good night’s sleep. Dogs are welcome on site as well, and there should be plenty of places to get out for a decent walk close by.
This is just the spot for some quiet chillout time – but it’s just as good for an action-packed break, with all manner of walking trails, watersports and fun attractions within easy reach.

Local attractions
Those of you heading here for a quiet break might like to wander among the plants at Maghera Walled Garden (five minutes’ drive), take walks along the trails at Drumnaph Nature Reserve (10 minutes) or follow the Carntogher Heritage Trail (15 minutes) for a sense of the area’s past. Seamus Heaney HomePlace (10 minutes) is a must for many visitors, with a project that roots the writer’s poetry in local landscapes.
For more of those landscapes, head to Ballyronan Marina (25 minutes) on the banks of Lough Neagh, for walks, boat cruises and watersports including kayaking and fishing. And don’t forget what’s up above – OM Dark Sky Park & Observatory (35 minutes) runs tours to introduce the night sky and what it means for those back down on Earth.
Family holiday? Check out Ireland’s largest waterpark, The Lake Kilrea WaterPark (15 minutes), with all sorts of challenges for visitors aged 6 and over, or head to Jungle NI (20 minutes) for outdoor activities galore, including llama trekking, treetop adventure courses, zorbing and archery.
