Please note that Mullaghduff Thatched Cottage is currently waiting for a re-thatch, we don't have a date for completion of this work. The original thatch has been removed, the galvanised under-roof has been painted and insulated while we wait for the thatcher to schedule us in when the materials have been sourced. We are operating as normal and feedback from regular and new guests has been great. A photo of the cottage as it currently looks has been uploaded.
