I'm travelling since the end of August - this was the most expensive night and until 01.00 h I could sleep: Under my window there was music of the pub. The breakfast was wonderful, but I was still tired...

Very nice place! it’s across the river from most of derry and almost everything around the Inn closed early so food options getting in were limited. Staff were very nice! Outside of breakfast, I didn’t see or hear another guest. Rooms were clean and towels were provided for each guest. Breakfast was very good and had decent options for a small place. The one drawback is in the 5 person room two people will have to share a bed which was ok for my group but I did not know that would be the case.
