The Mellon Country Inn

Review

The Mellon Country Inn is a charming hotel with a big personality, located just opposite the world-famous Ulster American Folk Park. The rooms here are thoughtfully designed and furnished to a high standard, with no expense spared in ensuring comfort and style. The attention to detail is evident throughout the entire hotel, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Despite this level of quality, a stay at the Mellon Country Inn remains surprisingly affordable. Its location makes it an ideal base for exploring Tyrone, with easy access to both Londonderry and Fermanagh. Having now been endorsed twice in my book, it’s clear that this hotel continues to impress. Whether you’re visiting for history, nature, or a peaceful retreat, the Mellon Country Inn delivers on all fronts.

Food for thought

O’Briens Restaurant at the Mellon Country Inn is a hidden gem that truly values quality dining. Situated near the renowned Ulster American Folk Park, this small hotel takes immense pride in its food, and rightfully so, after all, the restaurant is named after the family's grandmother, Mrs. Mahoney (née O’Brien). With a rich history of nurturing local culinary talent, O’Briens has helped shape some of the region’s finest chefs. The menu reflects a commitment to fresh, local ingredients, ensuring each dish is packed with flavour. For those seeking a more relaxed setting, O’Briens Bar offers a casual yet equally satisfying alternative. Under the careful stewardship of Pat Mahoney, the hotel exudes warmth and hospitality. So don’t miss the chance to experience this exceptional dining spot.
