Pros:

Great location (for attending hospital across the road) Nice to see a family run local hotel with a bit of history attached to it rather than staying in some group multinational hotel. They're fine, but you just can't beat the charm of a local hotel.

Cons:

Ah, it was hard to pick much fault with it, the bar could do with a bit more effort put into it. It's nice but it looks a little cheap and cheerful - not the actual seats and tables, they're lovely. But the actual bar, it's just too cheap and modern looking. It doesn't fit in with the rest of the hotel. Like I say, it's not really a complaint per se.

It suited my needs and was clean and very convenient to the Kingsbridge Hospital.
Pros:

The breakfast suited my needs! I did not want a cooked breakfast

Cons:

No fresh fruit available just tinned fruit for breakfast.
This hotel suited my needs and I couldn’t fault it but expensive for one person for one night. Anyway I am very grateful to my daughter who booked it as I was able to go across to the hospital and check on my husband regularly after his surgery.

Pros:

Lovely area, Ballykelly is very nice.ha

Cons:

Had a meal in the restaurant/bar
Ordered a steak from the menu..
Couldn't eat the steak... tough as old boots and cost over 20£ for the meal.
Granted I had a pint with it as well.
School children running and shouting in the bar. Breakfast looked good but had a strange 'perfume" taste didn't go 2nd day.
