When I read about Derry Ormond Halt having been converted into a holiday let, I just had to book myself in. My grandfather was once a signalman at the station and my father spent many a summer's day playing in the fields nearby. So, needless to say, nothing was going to hold me back from getting a glimpse of my family's past. Well, it didn't disapRead morepoint. The whole place was delightful. From the moment you enter through the gates, you find yourself in an enchanting expanse of green tranquility. The property's description offers a precise description, so I will not rehearse. All I can say is that what you see in the pictures and the description is exactly what you get - and then some. Taking in all the clever little touches and nods to the building's past was a real treat, all thoughtfully and carefully crafted. Being in such delightful surroundings, indoors and outdoors, there was no need to go anywhere else. Armed with plenty of food, a choice of books and comfy lounge wear, I was happy. The television is high spec so you can use your own streaming services - ideal for film night in front of the log fire. The owner was most accommodating and always only a text message away. Sonia - Thank you for all your hard work in bringing this little gem back to life, and for allowing me to stay. It is absolutely beautiful and a real treat for anyone wishing to just escape from life's hectic routines. I'm already planning my next little getaway! Diolch yn fawr iawn. Hide
