Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
If you have submitted a review for a holiday rental property, we may also ask that you provide us with proof of your stay to ensure that your review is attached to the correct rental property.
Holiday rental reviews collected via the VRBO website (formerly Homeaway) and syndicated to the Tripadvisor website are not currently subject to Tripadvisor’s standard moderation processes.

Brilliant country escape
So we stayed at The Milk House for 2 nights. We were greeted by Sam and Mary at the start and end of our stay. They were the perfect hosts and so helpful. On our stay we visited the nearby town of maghera and city of Derry. The Milk House itself is the perfect blend of old fashioned country living meets the modern world ( we had everything we needed). It was such and enjoyable and relaxing break where we were able to recharge, relax and enjoy time away from our daily commitments. The view from sitting room and is stunning. We had a visit from a beautiful black cat (I am a real animal lover). The living areas are all beautifully decorated and very clean. It is a hidden gem I will definitely be back too.

A little piece of heaven
Close to the small pretty town Draperstown, this is a fabulous place to stay, I am actually here as I write and we are cosy with a roaring fire, everything is spotlessly clean and gets 10/10 for comfort. Close enough to things to do but also so peaceful if you just want to get away from it all. Host’s Mary & Sam are lovely and ….. I never want to leave :)

Great Design in Idyllic Countryside
The Milk Cottage is in a great location that has you in the middle of idyllic sheep-filled countryside when you wake up, but just a ten minute drive from all the shops you want, should you need them. It's as peaceful a spot as you could wish for with some lovely walks right on your doorstep. On one walk, we even got an amazing close up view of a buzzard coming in to land!
The cottage is really spacious and the design, particularly of the bedroom is on point. The light fixtures are a warehouse designer's dream! Despite being open and roomy, it's still really warm, cosy and comfortable, even on cold, wet days and the upstairs bathroom is really handy too. It all felt like a proper treat.
Mary is a fantastic host and made sure we had everything we needed... she even provided some little treats for breakfast that were delicious! Would definitely visit again.
