The cooked breakfast set us up for the day perfectly and everything in our accommodation was of a very high standard. There was ample tea/coffee on the landing next to our room and a fridge too with fresh milk. Monica was so kind to drive us into Derry when there was a mishap with a particular car park the night before. All in all, I have no hesitation in highly recommending Five Oaks!! No complaints!

• Patrick (10/5): TOP NOTCH. - Monica and her husband were absolutely lovely, kind hosts who went beyond to ensure our stay was comfy and enjoyable. Also, a world of knowledge of sights to see, where to eat and what to do. Everything we needed was laid on to ensure we enjoyed a home from home break. Our room was impeccably clean with a super, comfy bed for a perfect night's sleep in a quiet, country setting. Not to mention the super breakfast that Monica laid on each morning. We were set for the day. On our next trip to Derry, I have no hesitation in booking the Five Oaks again. Everything was perfect.

• Shea (10/5): Wonderful host. Lovely location. - The bed and breakfast is located just outside Derry in a beautiful quiet location. It is still really accessible and close to the A6. The house has a lovely garden with colourful plants and seating areas. The host was wonderful and gave lots of historical information on local buildings and things to see. The breakfast was amazing with lovely fresh fruit. The house was beautifully decorated, comfortable and clean. The bed in the room had a lovely mattress and I had a great night's sleep. I was tired and very grateful for the rest. there was good safe offroad parking. Nothing all good. Faultless presentation by an experienced friendly host.

She and her husband also offered us a lift to the town (with a little tour and lots of informations and a stop at a beautiful viewing point) and the next bus stop, we are very thankful for that! The room and accommodation are affectionately arranged. Hair dryer, shampoo, heating blanket - just everything is provided. Monica and her partner are hosts with all their heart and who wants to enjoy sincere hospitality, should definitely stay at Five Oaks!
