TLC needed, stay was ok at best information in room requires updating. No iPad in room to check in, but states check in on iPad. Not the cleanest stain on head board, dusty in many areas, inside draws need cleaning.

We could not even get into our place that night and the number to call is no good. We had to find somewhere else to stay. Horrible

Electronic check in via a pad. Ours didn’t work, but checked in and out via phone. Not walking distance to shops or pubs. Need a car to stay there. It worked well for us

I spent 2 nights here. The location is very convenient for the city with ample parking. The room was clean and comfortable with everything I needed. Extra supplies of toothpaste, shower gel etc in case you forget anything. Bed was really comfortable. I didn't use the breakfast facility so can't comment on that. Would definitely return😃

Okay stay although rundown and in need of repair.

Overall it was not a great experience, we would not stay there again. Upon arrival the property is not very inviting but you do receive the front door code by email. We entered, but then struggled to get into our room. Although the room code was emailed to us, the numbers were almost completely rubbed off the keypad, so we had to try for about 10 minutes before we finally got in. Once we arrived, the room was quite small, and there were small bits of debris in multiple areas. The nightstand on one side of the bed was broken off of the wall and missing, and the lamp was just sitting on the floor. There were multiple damprid containers to pull moisture from the air in this one small room which makes me wonder if they had water issues? We tried to check in on the tablet as they requested, but it was dead and wouldn’t power on. I tried plugging it in using a different cord and hub that we brought, and it would flash low battery, but never could get it to power on. That tablet is also how you are supposed to order your breakfast and check out, so we could do none of those things. I called the phone number listed for the property and it said it was disconnected. I emailed the property to check in and give our breakfast order, and didn’t receive anything back. Our room’s view was of the small parking lot, and we never got to see any good views, because I assume the breakfast area is the only place with a good view. We booked mostly for the view and the breakfast and got neither.

The view from our room was of the sidewall of a storage building, and a garden. The host never greeted us in person. It was impossible to know, when inside the room, if the room was locked or not to people outside the room. The bathroom door provided no acoustic privacy and was a slider and was unfinished on the bathroom side with no knob or handle. The room was clean and inexpensive and seemed to be in a safe location. The instruction to unlock the room door upon arrival, were inaccurate. The automated checkin process had my name, but someone else's email listed and was difficult to figure out.

I booked this bed & breakfast in the states before my long trip. A few days before I arrived for my stay I received an email from the owner stating that I booked at the room only rate and breakfast would cost extra. This in itself would be enough to make me want to cancel my stay as breakfast is in the name. However check in is done via entry code and a tablet because there is no staff on site so receiving the wrong room type then what I booked can not be fixed. So my nephew ended up sleeping on the floor. Also there is not complimentary bottled water as advertised and the TV is not 32" as advertised. I would recommend that you save yourself the trouble and book a different place for a better price than this so called B&B.

We selected this B&B for its location near family. It was less of a B&B and more of a lodge - we didn’t interact with any staff (entry to the building and room were both by keypad codes) and we didn’t have breakfast (not sure if it was offered?). The room was nice and the bathroom was clean and everything worked. Our only negative feedback was that despite the kind sign on the front door asking guests to not slam it, it literally slammed, really loudly, ever time someone entered or left, and we were in one of the two rooms next to the front door. Otherwise, a good stay, though impersonal.

Disappointed...

The owner seemed nice enough for the short interaction we had with him, however, the property didn't measure up to normal expectations. Check-in and check-out was problematic because of technical glitches with their app. The biggest disappointment was that breakfast was NOT included for this "Bed and Breakfast". You had the option to order breakfast, at a cost that seemed too high. Also, there was no follow-up by the owner after the initial hello (by happenstance, rather than by design), so it was unclear what the process was for finding the common space, breakfast arrangements, etc. Even if we had ordered breakfast, it was unclear where we'd go to partake of the meal. The entire experience was a bit odd, and we left Elagh rather disappointed.

comfortable stay near Londonderry

The room was good- clean, comfortable, with a great shower. But none of the electric sockets worked for us. When we checked in we were supposed to get codes in advance so make sure you do! We didn’t and had to disturb someone on the premises to help us out. The tablet for check in and out wasn’t great- they ask you to write “bye” in the chat but if you complete the check out on the tablet you won’t be able to write anything in the chat. So make sure you do it before you check out.
It’s about 15 min drive to Londonderry city center.

First of all I oreder it very late on that night and was very happy it had been approved.
I immediately got a text message with all the entrance codes so basically no human touch is needed here. We ordeered a twin room. The beds were cosy. Bathroom was small but very accurate for human needs as well as the small laptop and coffee/tea machine. Parking in the front yaed is very comfortable. I can't tell about breakfast because we had to leave early morning

A well appointed property if you have transportati

We had electronic communication issues which made access difficult initially. The on-site manager/owner later apologised for the difficulty and Connor sent us details via email (which were unable to receive until much later when our service provider came ‘on air’ once again. But for these issues the property is modern, well appointed and clean; however, it definitely requires your own transportation to make it a convenient location for city sightseeing.

Stay was great, Marathon was hellish lol

Spent two nights (Saturday 1st and Sunday 2nd June) to run Derry city walled marathon. Our host (the owners son, sorry don’t know his name) was very pleasant and helpful. I could not fault this accommodation, it was clean, neat and tidy and fitted our purpose perfectly.

Very disappointed! The room was warm but there were no screens on the window, so we couldn’t leave it open. A ceiling fan might also be a good suggestion. The outside door slams quite loudly every time someone enters. It kept waking us up when all the drunks came in at 2:30am to continue the party and loudly keep us awake!

PLEASANTLY SURPRISED

What appeared like a cheap motel outside. Then offered excellent service from reception throughout upon entrance to to old part of the building.A pool was available , unfortunate we had booked elsewhere for an evening meal. The room was spot on. Large 4 poster bed, extremely comfy. Spacious en suite, overlooking gardens to the rear..The lounge is in need of new decor but acceptable. Food being served looked good and reasonably priced.Breakfast was also good.All staff very pleasant.Most important my wife enjoyed her stay. A place you can take your good lady. My wife previously managed a holiday in and was impressed. If we stay in Stoke again , I will book this hotel. Excellent value for the money .Maybe I was given the bridal suite.. If the rest of the rooms are of a similar standard Excellent

perfect hospitality

From the moment of arrival to departure I had a great experience. Welcomed with free tea and biscuits and could stay in a beautiful lounge which was spacious, clean and comfortable. The hosts were endearing, attending to every detail with care and delight. They were very helpful with getting around Londonderry and seeing the main attractions and Derry was only 10 minutes away by car. The room was also immaculate with coffee/tea facilities, en suite, TV, free WI FI and pleasant surroundings. Everything is well maintained and managed. It is a lovely B and B at an attractive price. I would certainly come here again and also advise friends to do the same!!

Fantastic B&B with great hosts

We stayed for just one night and had a fantastic stay. The B&B is located about 5 minutes from Londonderry town centre so very easy for meals etc if you have a car. The room was excellent and had a great ensuite. Breakfast is a definite bonus and includes a full cooked Irish breakfast and full continental as well. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to stay in the area.

A home away from home, and even nicer

We found this a beautiful experience and extremely comfortable. It is a bit out of Derry but well worth the effort and the welcome was outstanding. We were able to pay an evening visit the Griannan, about four miles away which was spectacular. Our rooms were beautifully furnished and Mary's catering all that one could wish for.

VERY good B&B

I can highly recommend this B&B. The location is perfect. Very close to motorway (N13/A2) and close to downtown. The rooms/bathrooms are newly renovated, comfortable and clean. The rooms have flatscreen TV and nice beds. The breakfast was the best I had on a 10-day trip around Ireland. The house is located in a beautiful and quiet area. Finally, that couple running this B&B are so friendly and helpfull. Best B&B I have experience in Ireland/Northern Ireland.

Accueillis très chaleureusement par Mary, nous avons pu apprécier le décor coquet et typiquement Irlandais de ce B&B. Le petit déjeuner servi dans la grande salle à manger est très copieux, la propreté des lieux irréprochable, une salle de bain spacieuse. Seul bémol, la chambre, un peu petite.
