Host entered our locked room while we were gone to draw the shades and turn our tv off. Invasion of privacy. Also, beware if you come here in the winter, host is a penny pincher and won’t keep the heat on in the house past 10pm. We were absolutely freezing and had to leave the accommodation because it was far too cold for our children. He refused to turn it on.

Wonderful host and spacious accommodation.

We had an excellent stay at Ardgort House. Our room was spacious and well equipped. John is an absolute gentleman and served up a great breakfast. Walking distance to a very friendly town. We were lucky to be there for the Black Saturday parade. Thank you John for being a wonderful host.

The traditional bed and breakfast where the host greets you, shows you the room, asks for your breakfast order and makes breakfast. We loved the old charm of the place. The hard beds were perfect for my achy back after a long day of travel (squishy beds are the worst for my back). Kids loved having their own beds. Host was so kind, went above and beyond to make you feel welcome and treated. Thank you for this authentic experience!
We loved walking into town, getting food at the grocery store then had a picnic in the new park. Fun, safe, family-friendly area!

Not as described in the advert

I already wrote a review about how rude the owner is, so I won’t repeat. This ‘hotel’ is tired and remote. It isn’t quaint and it’s not a good representation of how charming Ireland can be. No bar (wish I had taken a photo), no restaurant, the beds are old and not particularly comfortable, the comforter was way too warm for the lovely summer weather on offer.
Not particularly eco friendly as body wash and shampoo was in small plastic bottles.
I couldn’t be paid to go back!

The Ardgort House is a delightful step back in history - a lovely manor home with modern conveniences. Our host, John, maintains the property inside and out with care - from the fountain out front to the cleanliness of the rooms.
The inn is a walkable distance from the village of Castlederg which has all the basic necessities. (Evening dining options are limited, and the Ardgort House Bar and Restaurant are not currently in operation.)
John provides a warm fire in the woodstove in the evenings and is a delightful conversationalist. In the mornings, he prepares and serves a delicious full Irish breakfast or variations on it as requested by the lodger per breakfast menu the evening before.
We would gladly stay here again.

John was a wonderful host and our room was fabulous. We has a balcony with table and chairs and a super comfortable bed. Coffee and tea in room, good TV, wifi. There is a nice size bar on the main level but we did not visit.
The property compares almost to a grand hotel in its splendor, just not so big. We liked the location because we visited off the beaten tourist track towns in Ireland.
The town of Castlederg is undergoing some public square renovations and the dining choices were a bit limited. We had a nice meal at El Greco.

If you’re looking for modern, hi- tech and gourmet food don’t go. If you’re looking for friendly, traditional and original it’s a great place. Nice location, big well equipped rooms and just the best hospitality, memories and laughs with owner John.
We stayed on our way to Lusty Beg Island snd it was ideal with an interesting straight and “roller coaster road” down to the lakes.
A place to make a memory or few.

5 stars!

My partner and I stayed for just one night and met John, our host, on arrival. John was an absolute gentleman and made every effort to accommodate us. The room was perfect, spacious, with an adjoining terrace that had gorgeous views of the local countryside. Breakfast the next day was, as everything else, impeccable! Overall a very welcoming and relaxing experience and we would highly recommend Ardgort House to anyone travelling in this area!

I stayed at the Ardgort Country House for 3 nights whilst on business. I really enjoyed the stay, my room was well equipped, very clean, warm and had a good shower. The breakfast was excellent you must try the Full Irish cooked breakfast. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I hope I have the opportunaty to return sometime soon.

John the owner greeted us. Carried our bags to the room. The room was just stunning. House built in early 1900s. So much character. Private, clean and comfortable. Then there was the bar and sitting room with tv or the room with the pool table. The scenary was breathtaking. And breakfast was served in the dining room on time, hot and delicious. John walked us to our car to say goodbye with a box of chocolates. Who could ask for anything more. Thank you john,you were a fantastic host. Wendy and jeff

I really cannot say enough good about him. He made us feel so welcome, provided great conversation, and even gave me a box and cookies and a big hug when we left. He made us feel like family from the moment we walked through the door. Loved our stay here!

Driving from the Giant's Causeway towards Galway, we stopped at the quaint 100 year old inn in the town of Castlederg. Friendly gentleman who runs the inn was helpful. Older place but beautiful setting. Even some locals come to have a few pints. Nice for a stop over from travelling.
