Only 8km from Derry City, the bed and breakfast offers superb Irish hospitality and sumptuous home baking courtesy of the welcoming Martin family.

Outdoor lovers can take on the impressive Scalp Mountain, explore Inishowen Peninsula and roam the idyllic Glenveagh National Park. Visitors won’t fail to be enamoured by rugged Donegal. Visit Dunmore Gardens just across the road where Agatha Christie was a regular visitor in the early 1920's and is believed to be the inspiration for some of her thrillers.

We really appreciated the helpful and discreet welcome of Josephine and Charlie, the good advice they gave us to visit around, the comfortable and cosy bedrooms with so many little touches! The breakfast was something I had never seen before, everything fresh and home cooked, plentiful, memorable! We felt at home. Thank you

We spent two wonderful nights at this lovely B&B while searching nearby cemeteries for ancestor's graves. The welcome was friendly and gracious, our room very spacious and with direct access to the glorious garden. Breakfast was the best we have experienced anywhere. The recommendation to dine at the Fisherman's Catch was so spot on that we returned the second evening. While a modest declutter would not go astray, we would certainly stay again. Unfortunately, with Australia being so far away, the opportunity will probably not arise.

We were attending our son’s wedding and stayed at Josephine and Charles BNB. They provided us with outstanding service. The fruit buffet at breakfast had almost any fruit you can think of eating. Josephine made me a haircut appointment and showed me how to get to the salon before the wedding. We will definitely return whenever we are Ireland.

We had the pleasure of staying for six days with Josephine and Charlie. Our room was comfortable. The mattress was plush and the bedding was fresh. The shower had plenty of hot water. We were there for the wedding of our son very nearby, and we were free to come and go as we pleased though we stayed away through late morning and early afternoon because our hosts wanted to straighten up our room. We found nice dining options a few minutes away in Derry.

We had the most incredible stay in your garden home. The Martins were wonderful hosts and provided a lovely stay. My fiancé and I spent 2 nights here, but would’ve loved to stay longer! Amazing hospitality, views, and breakfast were some of the highlights. I loved the decor and style of the home. Thank you so much for the sweet note. We hope to be back ❤️
