Stunning Views, Amazing Hostess & lovely Breakfast

Sheliagh and her family were amazing hosts and made myself, my wife and my baby feel very welcome on our first holiday. The views are stunning, there were separate areas to relax when the baby was asleep in our room and the homemade jams at breakfast were to die for! Other family’s and couple that we had met have only lovely things to say about Sheilagh and some return every year for their holiday. She’s knowledgable, really friendly and exactly what you want from a BnB in the heart of Foyle! We hope to return one day if not for the great stay but for that jam too! Thank you from the Guarino’s

We both had a wonderful break away here! Sheila and Michael are super hosts,.so welcoming and friendly, couldn't be more helpful! Room was huge with a lovely balcony overlooking the sea view. Gorgeous bar area.... so comfy! Outdoor hot tub was a major bonus, beside a waterfall, again with sea view. Little teddy bear dog "Lady" is just so charming and precious! We will 100% be back!!

Overlooking the Foyle

I thought the B&B was on the sea but it would probably be a 15 minute uphill walk to it. However please dont let that deter you staying here. The view is spectacular and if I can I will post a video. Sheila our host was just an amazing, friendly lady and nothing was a bother to her. Room was very spacious and exceptionally clean. We filled in a breakfast card with a great choice from fresh fruit, fruit juice, cereals and cooked breakfast with choice of items too. In the current covid-19 situation all guidelines are being adhered too with masks being worn and sanitising station at the front door. There is a very comfortable relaxing area upstairs with a fridge and bar area where you are welcome to bring your own drink too.
