Groarty House/Manor

John and Margaret could not have been better hosts. As soon as I pulled up the coach, John was out with his torch to guide me into a parking spot. Then he offered to take me into Derry to get some food if I was hungry. They have a range of different options for guests including a hot tub which I didn't get to experience but as an extra for the guests is quality. Breakfast was wonderful the following day and presentation was perfect. I wouldnr hesitate to recommend this location again and again. One thing unfortunately was the tv didn't want to work for me. Bit of a drawback if you don't have access to the local area by car which means you won't be heading out so maybe somethings like that could be rechecked before guests come in. I also noted when departing, there was brochures from both sides of the border being marketed, ploys like this are always wonderful to see as guests could be coming to the North or leaving so they want to see what options they have either side of the border. Gestures like this are wonderful for all travelling guests. Also having the shower gel/shampoo available in the shower for the guests was a super personal touch. The planning process behind this establishment shows attention to detail is never overlooked. Too class touch.

Slight arrival entrance issue, but sorted within 15 mins, so we were in within the 1/2 hr. Decent sized room and en-suite shower room. Not the most modern or up to date, but everything worked as it should have. Quiet apart from the outside smoking area, and being a warm night, the open windows allowed the conversation, if not the smoke thank goodoness, to enter the room; the guests/smkers, may need a word of wrarning that their conversation content can be heard loud and clear - wasn't a good thing; still it wasn't long lasting. Breakfast was booked the day before and not on a list, just told to us, so th8inking on the spot maybe should have been better with a list and a pencil to do befre bedtime? The vegetarian options, weren't great. Still, did the job for the night at a reasonable price.

Lovely place to stay for a few nights. Margaret and John so accommodating. Margarets breakfast and service of guests is A*. Would recommend and would stay again for sure. ＜3 Lovely rural location despite being close to city. Thanks for a nice stay guys!
