Situated in beautiful rural countryside, 4 miles from the town of Dungiven, The Grey Gables offers a central location from which to explore some of the most visited attractions in the North of Ireland. These include The Giants Causeway and the Antrim Coast, The Sperrin Mountain Range, The Historic City of Derry, County Donegal and the beautiful Roe Valley.

It is also an ideal location from which to visit the surrounding towns of Limavady (9miles), Garvagh (8 miles) and of course Dungiven, as well as the many surrounding rural townlands and villages such as Glenullin, Drumsurn, Burnfoot and Ballerin.

History

In 1870, at a crossroads on the main Dungiven to Garvagh road - at the foot of the Benbradagh mountain- John Mullan (who had recently returned from Australia) built a Public Bar and shop to service the local community of Gelvin. 'Mullans Corner' as it became affectionately known, traded for 100 years before being replaced in 1970 when Paddy Rafferty and his wife Nancy (granddaughter of John Mullan) built and opened a new bar and lounge on the site, which they named 'The Grey Gables'.

The Rafferty family business traded successfully for 22 years until 1992 when Paddy retired. For a few years after, the premises lay dormant until the late 1990's, when Dermot and Bronagh Rafferty decided to completely restructure and skillfully convert the buildings into two self-catering apartments, which opened for business in April 2000.
