Derry City Self Catering Accommodation
Both properties are within the historic walls of Derry and face onto St. Colum's Cathedral, the oldest building in the city.
They are close to most of the city's restaurants, café, pubs, museums, historic sites and shops.
Darcus Cottage
Darcus Cottage, a picturesque late 18th century building, has 3 bedrooms, with 4 beds and 2 bathrooms, and can comfortably accommodate up to 6 guests. There is a large attractive living room on the ground floor adjoining a bright and airy kitchen/dining room.
An en suite twin bedroom (2 single beds) occupies the first floor. Two double bedrooms (1 double bed in each) on the second floor share a bathroom between them. Because of its narrow staircase and rooms spread over three levels, Darcus Cottage could be challenging for guests with mobility problems, or for families with small children. Most bedrooms have tvs as does the living room.
Free WiFi access is available in all rooms and the gas central heating system keeps the house warm on the coldest of nights. The fully-equipped kitchen has a dishwasher, fridge/freezer, washing machine, dryer, an electric oven, a gas hob and a microwave oven. Pieces of period furniture add to the building’s antique charm.
Because of its central location in London Street, car parking is restricted to one hour during weekday working hours (8am-6pm). However, there is a low-cost car park located opposite the courthouse in nearby Bishop Street and parking has not been a problem for guests in the past. Pets are welcome to stay at no extra charge. A small walled yard at the rear, shared with the neighbouring Cathedral Cottage, leads to the Garden of Reflection in Bishop Street.
Cathedral Cottage
Cathedral Cottage is a compact three-storey townhouse dating from the late 18th century, with a fully-equipped kitchen, a living/dining room, and a toilet on the ground floor.

The Cottage can comfortably sleep 5, and an additional sofa bed is available in the living room.

The kitchen is fully equipped and has a washing machine, fridge-freezer, gas hob, electric oven, and a microwave oven. Pieces of old furniture enhance the period feel of the building.
