Before going on this weekend I had accesed most of the things that I needed to know from the internet, at the B&B there was further information to me in the way of leaflets at the reception and plenty of information from the staff at the hotel. I fel that the hoel catered for all of my needs whilst I stayed ther and nothing seemed to be any trouble for the staff. (99258347)

positive comments Friendly and helpful staff, excellent food and within walking distance of city centre.
negative comments Nothing that I could suggest.

I would have liked to have seen a picture of the actual room. (99197973)

positive comments We liked the owner of the B&B who we found helpful and delightful.
negative comments The room was in an attic and so small, we could barely get in and out of the bathroom. The bed was almost as large as the room. Also, our bath towels had holes in them and were not fit for guests.

Martin from London, GB (Group of adult friends) 11 July 2007

Located very close to the city walls of Londonderry, Sumbeam House B&B is a great place to start from for exploring the town. Staff are friendly and helpful, and the rooms was excellent. (99877418)

Marianne from Hobart, Australia;AU (Mature couple) 10 July 2007

Generally we had a most enjoyable stay. The accommodation was strategically placed very close to the centre of Derry and therefore excellent for sightseeing and transport. We enjoyed the 'craic' at breakfast and met some very interesting people, including the staff who could not do enough for us. We heartily recommend the Sunbeam to prospective visitors to Derry-Londonderry. (99438342)

positive comments The cheerful and cooperative attitude of the staff, the excellent breakfasts and the generally cordial atmosphere. All very clean and neat.
negative comments As pointed out in the advertisement, the room was rather small.

Would like to know which floor level you are on when booking and if there is a lift or someone to take your bags up. Proprietor gave good advice and map on where to eat inside the walled city. (3304749270)

positive comments Proximity to centre of city, good breakfast, friendly proprietors
negative comments bathroom so small elbows touched the walls when on the toilet, shower was far too small to shower in properly. This was the smallest bathroom/toilet we have ever seen in a lot of travelling. Was insufficient room to be able to dry off (had to go into the bedroom). Parking was just about non-existant and difficult to find.

Bernd from Wiesbaden, Germany;DE (Solo leisure traveller) 02 September 2006

Ein erstklassiges B&B, das ich nur weiterempfehlen kann. Vielleicht noch wichtig zu wissen: Der Flughafen (City of Derry Airport, LDY) ist praktisch nur mit Taxi zu erreichen, die Preise sind vor dem Flughafen ausgeh (3304569093)

deirdre from Streatham, United Kingdom;GB (Young couple) 24 August 2005

enjoyable stay, good location in terms of the city, could advertise that it is so near city walls. Liked the welcome and the friendliness of the husband and wife. Liked the fact that decor was modern and freshly done. comfortable room but small. Breakfast delicious. Very flexible in what you could eat. offered alternatives and cooked vegetarian with no notice. Would recommend this B&B. (2577323)

This b&b would probabley suit tourists from outside the uk, especially under 25's. People holidaying from the uk may find the area in which the b&b is situated a little off putting. (2123724)

positive comments very close to centre of Derry and historical attractions.
negative comments Bishops Street, the area where it is situated, is not very pretty, and could be a little intimidating for some people.
