I traveled with adult family members and we stayed a single night here. It was very quaint and met all of our needs. We liked that it was close to Derry and the breakfast is both well balanced and filling. It’s a cozy stay with all the amenities available. Thank you!

Thanks Christina. Glad you enjoyed your stay

What an amazing place to stay. The hosts were extremely welcoming. Fantastic hot breakfast with everything else to go with it. We visited on a couple of rainy days. Having the kitchen allowed us to take an opportunity to relax. Beds were very comfortable. Highly recommend!!

Thanks for your review. Really glad you enjoyed your stay

Nice hosts. Thank you!The room was cozy with a comfy bed. Easy entry and exit. Plenty of parking with a fun pub in walking distance with excellent foodThe guest kitchen was also handy during our stay.Close to Derry, but a bus, car or cab will likely be needed for visiting the walled city, which is quite fun to wonder around... Literally.Thanks for a pleasant two nights.

Thanks John. Really glad you enjoyed your stay

After a 2 week road trip around Ireland we can honestly say that our 1 night stay at Arkle House in Derry was one of the best overnight stays we experienced. Sally, Annemarie & Margaret were welcoming, fun & friendly with lots of jovial banter to be had. They went over & beyond to ensure our stay was memorable. Breakfast was excellent and all laid on, nothing was a problem. The house & grounds are beautiful. Our triple room was CLEAN and when we brought home takeaway pizza, we were able to eat it in the upstairs communal mini kitchen/dining area which was a bonus. If we ever return to Derry, we will most definitely make a booking at Arkle House. Thank you, ladies, from Angee, Maggie & Regan New Zealand

We are a family with 2 adult children. Had a lovely time and enjoyed our visit.

Lovely setting, good breakfast, beds comfortable.Parking plenty.Bit surprised at 1800 checkin & noon out- abbreviated stay.

Response

Glad you enjoyed your stay Claudia. With regard to the check out time, most places have a 12 noon check out to allow for the preparation of the rooms for the next guests arriving.

Lovely stay, very welcoming and great breakfast.

Arkle House is a top notch B&B. We stayed with our baby and had everything we needed, the kitchen was very useful. Breakfast was delicious and the house is a charming, tastefully updated period property. Thank you for a great stay!

Many thanks for your review Vince. Really glad you enjoyed your stay and look forward to seeing you again.Regards Terry

A comfortable room with great Irish breakfast. Close enough to get into the center of Derry quickly (by car) but also on the edge of the countryside - a mile up the road was nothing but farms. Great hosts! Ask Terry to see his shop and projects if you are in to woodworking!

Response

Thanks Jay. Glad you enjoyed your stay. Regards Terry

Lovely property, great room, and wonderfully welcome staff. We enjoyed our brief overnight stay followed by a delicious breakfast the next morning before we departed.Only negative was the sofa bed which was quite uncomfortable but that's not a huge surprise for a sofa bed.

I recently had 2 great nights at Arkle House in Derry and was so very happy with my stay … squeaky clean and cosy .Sally the owner/manager and her great staff are just wonderful… so helpful and kind for a first time visitor to Derry … great bed in a room that had a beautiful garden view … breakfast was great and perfect way to start the day …Thanks againCraig

Response

Many thanks Craig. Really glad you enjoyed your stay. Regards Sat

Very confortable room & fantastic breakfast. Staff was very kind

The house is beautiful, and I imagine the garden would be lovely in nicer weather. The room was clean, and the bathroom modern, although the shower wasn't as powerful as we thought, and the drains produced a rather bad smell. No tea/coffee in the room, but there is a communal kitchenette. Breakfast was very good, and we slept pretty well, as it's very quiet. It's a bit of a walk to the city centre though, but the taxi wasn't too expensive at least. The hosts were very friendly :-)

We enjoyed a beautiful stay in Arkle House and we would have no hesitation in recommending it for a stay. Wonderful friendly hospitality of a very high standard. The room was very comfortable and homely. The beds were divine and had electric blankets. The en suite was perfect and we also had access to a kitchen. There was a TV and all the essentials you would need. The breakfast was delicious and cooked to order. We felt very much at home. Sally is a wonderful hostess and her staff at breakfast were excellent. We look forward to staying again soon. We highly recommend and definitely will be back again. Thank you Arkle House 👍🤗

Response

Many thanks Emma.We look forward to your next visit

Really enjoyed our overnight stay at Arkle House. The owners are both so friendly and accommodating. The house is beautiful, warm and homely. The communal kitchen is a fab idea. Will definitely be back. So central and handy to get to.

Out of our ten day trip, we booked the lovely bed and breakfast first. And it did not disappoint! The hosts were so kind and conversational, showing us around their home. we even had a couple last minute requests and they were so gracious and accommodating. The room was comfortable and clean. The house and property was so quaint and peaceful. And the breakfast was delicious and extensive. (And made me feel so special in my birthday morning!) The whole stay felt like a bed and breakfast from a movie! Would stay again in a heartbeat!

Thank you for your review. Really enjoyed having you stay with us. Remember to festina Lenten. Cheers

My husband, daughter and myself came to Derry for an overnight and discovered this Gem , which while being very private and quiet also extremely convenient with fantastic restaurant a few steps away, the guest house itself is stunning and the hosts very friendly, our room was perfect and like the rest of the house spotless and decorated to a very high standard, really comfortable beds and beautiful en-suite, we all had fantastic sleep, then to breakfast, wow! Beautiful dining room with absolutely everything anyone would want, the lovely lady who made our breakfast couldn’t be nicer going the extra mile for us, the cooked breakfast was very very tasty, thankyou x the gardens are also gorgeous with beautiful patio area, all in all I’d highly recommend this guest house and we will definitely be back should we have the call to be in Derry and there is availability here, it will be our first choice, thank you to everyone at Arkle house x

B&b very nice.Breakfast incredible

We had the best end of our Ireland trip by choosing Arkle House, where we found a family atmosphere and a very beautiful house. The room is very comfortable and in the dining room we had very good service from the staff and a wide range of food. The location is great, close to the Free Dery and with free and safe parking. Thanks!

A charming home filled with gorgeous antiques. The gardens are lovely. Everyone is very friendly! Margaret is truly an angel! We had an issue with our hire car, which was the last straw for us on our long journey. She saw that we were frustrated and stressed, so she took over and made several calls for us until we finally got things sorted. All this while still managing the other guests. We very much appreciate her efforts on our behalf. We would stay here again if visiting the area.

Our family enjoyed our stay in Arkle house, our room for 4 was large enough. Breakfast was very good with fresh fruits each morning. We also appreciated being closed to a pub for dinner. All Arkle team was very nice. Thanks!

Response

Thanks Gwendoline. It was a pleasure having your family stay with us

Our stay was very nice. The home is beautiful with a lovely garden yard where we waited for our breakfast table. The room was spacious and beds were comfy and the hosts quite friendly. The shower was pretty small even for a small person like me. The pub nearby where we ate is not recommended by us.

We spent two nights in the Arkle House on our road trip through Nothern Ireland and Ireland. It‘s a beautiful B&B, cozy, very well maintained and managed. The House is beautiful decorated and furnished, with a harmonious design. The room was very clean with a very good bed, so we slept very well. The breakfast was also great. We would definitively choose the Arkle House again.

The host was so accommadating, when we turned up wet and cold she just welcommed us in and made sure we were OK and settled in. The room was clean and smart, breakfast was excellent, the morning staff where so helpful and chatty it made the stay so much more than just a bed and breakfast. The house and grounds are lovely and having the small kitchen available for guests was an added bonus. I would recommended Arkle House if you what a confortable base to visit the North West area of Ireland and Northern Ireland
