Serendipity House

My partner and I stopped here for lunch and were treated to the best meal we’ve had in Ireland. We were very warmly received and quickly made to feel at home despite staying for only a meal. We certainly hope to stay at the b&b at some point! Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a cozy meal and friendly environs.

This was a very good choice in terms of accommodation as it was not too expensive (in comparison to other places in Derry) and was very comfortable. The rooms we had were well decorated and the beds were comfy. The en-suite bathrooms were nice and clean. The room views were of the city and this also applies to the seating area out the back where we were able to enjoy a drink in the sun. The location is good and quiet although it is uphill a bit. This is not really a problem at all but if I had lots of luggage I'd maybe get a taxi. The staff were remarkably friendly and helpful. We met them mostly at breakfast and they sorted us out well in general with all our enquiries like how to find places in the city.

Lovely breakfast - nice location.

Really not as advertised. We stayed at the hotel Monday and Tuesday but moved to another hotel Wednesday as we didn’t sleep. Bed mattress so old and lumpy. Nothing in the description was how it actually was. No soap or toiletries in the room. We paid for a deluxe room which was on the ground floor right next to the front door, that was the only area we had access to for our stay. The room was so warm but there was no fan and hotel directly onto Main Street so not ideal to open windows and folk looked in when curtains and blinds open. The bar and restaurant’ (a few tables) and the balcony terrace looking over the city was locked up during our stay and there was no access to vending machines. We were told it only opens at weekends and it was booking. com fault for not as putting such. Photos advertised a lovely breakfast but it’s a limited selection of bread/cakes and a bit of ham and cheese. I had a very stale sausage roll. Nothing appeared fresh and the milk was off and curdled my tea, although I did get an apology for that. Room was big enough but no wardrobe, just 3 hangers on a wall rack. Parking is on a very busy packed street. Rooms are apparently only serviced if you request it! We were offered fresh water for the rooms, which we got but the used cups were left and milk not replenished (again I was told I should have asked) no one was around to ask and owner was off site the 2 days we were there. It is a good ten minute walk into the town, we were happy to walk but it’s a very steep walk and I know some may find it too strenuous to walk up. My parents still travel and walk but they would t have been able to do the hill, maybe should be made slightly clearer. We did love the walk though. We found a great alternative and we did live the town and all the landmarks.

Really central part of town, about a 10-15 min walk in to town (don’t mind the hills!). The accommodation was gorgeous, clean and well laid out. Continental breakfast included was delicious. Street parking right outside the B&B. Highly recommend.

Excellent place to stay in Derry, rooms are nice. One of the most comfortable beds I ever slept in. The view off the back deck is amazing and the breakfast was awesome. Great staff, a must stay in Derry. Highly recommend. Came back to the B&B after a great night and had a few pints on the deck with the awesome view.
