Charlie and Josephine were wonderful hosts during our recent stay and were very accommodating and gracious with our late check-in!! The rooms were beautiful, very spacious, and also very comfortable. (Our son had a room leading out to the garden - beautiful views; saw many rabbits :) ) The breakfast was delicious, with an abundance of food and many options to choose from!

Mount Royd is a stunning property, and Josephine and Charlie are the kindest, most considerate hosts of any place I have stayed. They are unobtrusive, but with loads of local knowledge and tips that lead us to places we hadn’t found in our own research. As for the breakfasts, well the freshness and variety of all the fruits, would shame a 5+ star eatery, and the hot food is delicious, and prepare fresh while you wait. All the additional treats that Josephine cooks and provides are also varied and very delicious. I wanted to sample Irish hospitality in a tradition BandB, well I think I hit the jackpot. Our room was lovely, and we scored a ground floor with a door opening to the garden, and a padlock next door with gorgeous sheep and rabbits to entertain us. Thank you so much Josephine and Charlie.

Wonderful property. Extremely comfortable. Josephine and Charlie go out of their way to make your stay enjoyable and deliver the little extras to make it so. The breakfast is second to none. A huge range of fresh fruit, cereals and cooked food.

Upon our arrival we were greeted with tea and snacks! Home is in a great location to Londonderry and Carrigans. Great local pub walking distance. Josephine’s breakfast was the best we ever had at a B&B. Charlie’s quips topped it off. We met two other couples during our stay and enjoyed our conversations. Loved our 3 nights here!
