- 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.

- Daniela (10/5): Perfect stay - We spent the last 2 nights of our vacation at Monica's place and we regretted not having more days left to spend here.
