The Shepherds Rest Pub Wedding Venue

from the moment you arrive you would think you have known Colin a lifetime . A great campsite and pub...camping and hospitality the way it used to be and still is here. only a few miles from Beaghmore stone circles

I met Colin and he had an immediate lasting impression.Thank you for the poem The resurrection.....I will treasure it .Ps....run for politics ,you were a joy to chat with .

Just back from a great weekend - this was our first weekend in our campervan and we couldn't have chosen a better campsite. The staff were lovely, the facilities were spotless. The atmosphere in the pub was great, with a lovely open fire and a great welcome. Will definitely be back.

It's a hidden gem in Northern Ireland. Rural location outside of any city chaos. I love the outdoor terrace. Great place for a shot of Bushmills Whiskey :)

This place is a hidden gem.I have been coming here 2 to 4 times a year camping.Colin who owns the premises is a lovely character and that fire in the pub really does throw out some heat on cold nights.The toilets and showers are great.Cannot fault the place at all.

Our new favourite campsite. An hour from Belfast. Stunning scenery and a great host who makes everyone feel warmly welcomed. Thanks Colin for another great stay.

Excellent, hidden gem. Perfect for mountain biking in Davagh Forest. Great, clean, warm facilities and really nice traditional pub with friendly landlord and locals. I ended up here after a hard day on the bike doing the IAT/SIAT trail and couldn’t have had a better welcome. Thanks! Will be back.

We were one of the people who did not realise this lovely place only does private functions. We found it after a beautiful, long and very cold walk and stopped by hoping for lunch. The kindness was amazing. The owner explained the situation (a private function was happening in the function room at the time) and we were happy to leave. The owner offered us soup, chips and sandwiches. He sat us down opposite the open fire, had a chat and the food arrived. It was delicious. The owners did not have to do this and could have easily sent us on our way. It was kindness and we left warmed up physically and in our hearts. Thank you. Thank you.
