Discovering Ireland's Dinkiest Country House in the Orchard County - Armagh
Travel Talk with Ed Finn in Association with Destination Cleveland
Saturday, 12 October 2024 - 8 minutes
What could be better than a break at harvest time in the Orchard County of Armagh? Newforge House has been in the Mathers family for six generations with an uninterrupted family history. The current owners, John and his wife Louise, decided to try their hand at the hospitality biz 19 years ago. John is a fully trained Chef and Louise looks after all the administration and marketing, although her scones and biscuits are up there with the best and those sumptuous desserts..... It took the couple two years of hard work to make their dreams come true and the result is an adorable Country House with a delectable Dining Room. This is the Dinkiest Country House in Ireland and the food is incredible. This was my second stay here and I can't wait to return again. Newforge House lends itself to Autumn and Winter breaks and it is a member of Ireland's Blue Book. John has also an impressive Gin menu and some amazing wines to pair with that delicious fare. www.newforgehouse.com
