We had never heard of the hidden gem that is Corick House Hotel & Spa at Clogher Co Tyrone until friends told us of their stay there. Last week we had a wonderful mini break there. We were very impressed by what we found. We will definitley be returning. We would very much encourage anyone to check Corick House out. You will not be disappointed.
Found near the old railway village of Clogher just of the main A4 Roadto Enniskillen, 8miles from the Ballygawley roundabout, on the boarder of Tyrone and Fermanagh. The Clogher Valley has been inhabited since ancient times and abounds with standing stones and chambered graves. Rich farmlands rise to the high rolling moors on the north and south. The name Corick or Corag which means a confluence of streams was part of the lands granted to the Bishop of Clogher at the time of the ‘Plantation of Ulster’ (1610). CORICK HOUSE, near Clogher, County Tyrone, was originally built at the end of the 17th century, as a double gable-ended block of two storeys over a basement, with five bays. In 1863, on the instructions of William Story, the house was enlarged and altered to the design of the Belfast firm of Sir Charles Lanyon.
'In 1994 the house and gardens at Corick were sold to Mrs. Jean Beacom and the surrounding farmland to the local farmers. Corick House opened as a Bed & Breakfast / Guesthouse in 1996 with 9 rooms. The late Mrs. Jean Beacom’s fondest desire was to carry on the traditions of this grand Irish house into the 21st Century. The late Mrs. Jean Beacom’s Daughter Avril & her Two Sons Haldene, Andrew and family who are following in that ambition with an extensive programme of improvements keeping in line with the traditions of this elegant House by fusing traditional Irish hospitality with modern flair.'
'Boasting 43 bedrooms and junior suites, each room exudes its individual charm furnished at every turn and designed to be a paradise away from home. Set among meandering streams and winding country roads, the hotel offers guests the finest in tradition, hospitality, superb cuisine and lavish surroundings that will ensure your visit is a memorable one. The hotel brings you back in time with period style, where you can escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life with breath-taking views of the valleys and mountains. With its sparse highlands and lush river valleys, we have a special charm you will not find anywhere else.'
