Pros:

We stayed here for a visit to Derry, really enjoyed it, handy location. We had the interlocking room which was perfect for our family. The nest morning we visited wildlife Ireland which was only a 10 minute drive from the hotel.

Cons:

There were some quite visible hairs from previous visitors in the bathroom. Cleanliness could do with more attention, having said that we do like what you get for the price, and the staff was very friendly.

Pros:

Food was fabulous, staff were lovely

Cons:

Room was freezing, had to run water for near 10 minutes for it to get any way warm amd that was just the sink, showers were awful and their was a smell coming up the drains that stank the rooms out, thin blankets on the beds had to use towels as extra blankets to try and keep the kids warm
