Lovely little campsite
Powered grass tent site
Liked We had a wonderful stay at this lovely little campsite! The location is peaceful and perfect for a relaxing getaway, but what really made it special was Edwin, the owner. He is incredibly nice and goes out of his way to make sure everyone feels welcome and comfortable. Nothing was too much trouble for him — he was always around if we needed anything and full of great local tips.
The campsite itself has all the basics you’d need for a cozy stay. It’s clear Edwin takes pride in keeping it that way. If you’re looking for a friendly, laid-back place to camp with a host who truly cares, this is it. We’ll definitely be back!

Liked Great having a cabin to cook in and get out of the rain.
Excellent site with a range of amenities offered by fantastic hosts.
Powered grass tent site
Liked We loved the idyllic, rustic setting. The yard offered ample space for our tent (and for others, though we were alone on a weekday night). We were greeted upon arrival by a waddling of friendly ducks, and the cows in the adjacent field gathered at the fence to meet us! We woke in the early morning to a dawn chorus of birdsong, which was fabulous. The location is quiet and peaceful, yet close enough to town, very close to Lough Neagh (and Portmore Lough), an easy drive to Belfast. While we expected to be roughing it in our small tent, we were delighted to learn there was a quite large cabin available to us with a toilet, shower, refrigerator, and a wide array of cooking options (in addition to the outdoor pizza oven). The wifi was strong and reliable. Beyond the range of amenities on offer, we most appreciated the warm hospitality we received from our gentle host, Edwin, who was good enough to share a bit of the history of the property, and who did much to assure we were as comfortable as we could be (such as thoughtfully bringing us chairs to sit in by our tent). He and his wife exude kindness, and we so enjoyed visiting briefly with them (and with their especially welcoming neighbor, Kate). We certainly hope to have the opportunity to do so again, and we both highly recommend Lisieux House to any campers hoping for a restful, private escape to a little patch of paradise!
Good value site if you are self sufficient. Lovely people.

We had two very enjoyable evenings and restful nights.
Powered grass tent site
Liked This is a small site for a handful of tents at most - exactly as we wanted it. The location is natural - more like a garden than a campsite - and, being close to the huge Lough and some mature trees, was full of birdsong in the mornings. The owner is very helpful and relaxed in approach. We felt very welcome.
Disliked There is really nothing much to dislike, unless you are looking for a boozy clubhouse and disco.
Great place!

Powered grass tent site
Liked We booked very last minute after realising our ferry way a day later than we’d planned. The general area and drive to the site was beautiful, with winding roads and views of the water. The site was easy to find and the hosts were incredibly inviting and kind. We had a wonderful evening socialising and returned to our tent to a good nights sleep with no interruptions. There was use of a toilet and shower, along with a sheltered area with some small amenities such as cooking equipment and chairs. The atmosphere was calming and safe and we’d love to return again in the future! Thank you.
Very welcoming host, good facilities and a peaceful night's sleep. Can't wait…
