Abbey Bed and Breakfast

My brother and I spent a night in this very nice and friendly Bed and Breakfast on Saturday 21st February and it was a very pleasant experience. The room was spotlessly clean and all conveniences were available to us. I would recommend this bed and breakfast highly to my friends and family. It is in a very central location in Derry City and the breakfast was very nice too.

TL;DR: do not stay here. The owner doesn’t care what goes on inside the B&B. My stay was awful. At 9PM, some gentlemen came into the sitting area and were conversing loudly. Only 9, so not an issue yet. Over the next 3 hours I asked them 3 separate times if they could quiet down so we could sleep. I was met with either indifference or outright hostility. Around 12AM, the front door is slammed 5+ times over 10 minutes with these men going in and out of the building. Soon after, I’m delighted to piece together that these men are staying in the room directly above mine. Certain noises are coming from their beds for the next 30min (absolutely everything, especially the beds, creak here). Around 1 it did quiet down. At 2:30, one of them was outside without a key. He rings the doorbell (it was a Ring that called the owner), yells, and pounds on all exterior doors. Finally he comes back to the front door (adjacent to my window) and knocks on our window while screaming. My wife is now woken up and scared. The owner finally lets him in. One of the worst parts? The owner blamed us for not asking for a “quiet room” and said he has no responsibility for the conduct of his guests. He also called these men “fine Scottish gentlemen” as if that excuses their actions. He refused to issue any kind of remedy nor take any responsibility for what happens on his property. This place was a nightmare for someone wanting to stay at a BED and breakfast to sleep. P.S. The hot water didn’t work.

The staff was extremely friendly, it was in a great area for sightseeing in the Bogside, shops nearby, and the breakfast was excellent! Thanks again.

Great location a short walk from the murals, pubs, and city walls. Room was decent size. Breakfast was filling.

Seamus and helen could not do enough for us very friendly always asked us was everything okay. lovely place to stay i would recommend it highly to stay there. Very clean and meets the needs of people who are also disabled. We will be back again

Beautiful

The owner was a really nice guy and gave us some great recommendations. The place was nice and clean with a good breakfast.

A historic and now tranquil location. Attentive staff on site Very clean

Great staff, comfy bed and possibly the best shower I’ve ever used! Very good location! Only very minor critique is the Wi-Fi is spotty in the room and the light bulb in the main light in room is super dim and needs replacing (but that’s a 2 min job!)
