Shepherds’Retreat
Granite peaks,vivid green fields and speeding clouds are your only neighbours at this remote cottage in the Sperrins.Glass doors open straight on to this landscape,and though there’s no phone reception or wifi,there’s a TV with DVDs,and plenty of books to enjoy by the fire.There are stone circles and mountain bike trails(小路) nearby.
LagganCottage
On the Ardnish peninsula (半岛) and accessible only by boat—or a three-hour hike—this comfortable off-grid pad is seriously isolated (偏僻的).There’s zero mobile signal and no TV.Paraffin lamps,wood-burning stoves for hot water and a Calor gas cooker are the only modern conveniences you get.It is perfect for a week of watching the wildlife,hiking,and swimming.
StrawCottage
Candles and lanterns,gas lamps and solar lights create atmosphere at this straw-bale cottage,constructed using centuries-old methods.With no electricity or wifi,this home set on Ty Gwyn Farm offers true escapism.Young explorers can play in the stream,follow a treasure hunt and toast marshmallows by the fire.Dogs are welcome,too.
EastLodge
Other than the lack of wifi,East Lodge is a perfectly contemporary cottage.Arch windows accompany modern conveniences including a TV and DVDs for movie nights,though you may prefer to switch off and focus on outdoor fun,biking on nature trails and watching the wildlife.
