“The Bothy” is situated in Rousky, a small hamlet along the Owenreagh Valley, in the Sperrin Mountains, a designated area of outstanding natural beauty. The area is ideal for relaxed walking, fishing, cycling and a host of other outdoor pursuits. The Sperrin’s network of small streams and rivers along with a plentiful supply of Salmon and Trout make it ideal for the angler. After an active day relax in front of the open fire or come along to a lively traditional seisiún.
