I stayed at Mullaghslin House, near Carrickmore, the place where my family came from. The house is modern and, in the guest area part, they have three rooms which are brand spanking new! I felt like only one of a few who had stayed there.
In Ireland, and it seems Northern Ireland, there is a tax break if you turn your home into a B&B. I assume that is why so many regular houses are also B&Bs and your room is so new looking, they aren''t bothered if not many stay there, as long as they get the tax break. The owners are so completely gracious though, and seem happy to get to know their guests, going out of their way to do what they can to make sure your stay is all it can be.
The owners at Mullaghslin House, Frank and, I think her name was, Brita Nugent were particularly gracious. They got out the phone book, first thing when I got there, and started dialing trying to get ahold of people who shared my last name.
I was treated very well by the Nugents at Mullaghslin House, with the wonderful breakfasts, teas and hospitality. While I was there, they even invited me to a party they threw.
