We loved this B&B - our hostess couldn't do enough for us. Our king room was spacious, clean and beautifully decorated. A made-to-order, delicious breakfast was ready for us within moments of entering the dining room. She even offered to drive us the few minutes it takes to reach the downtown area. We would definitely stay at Victoria Gate B&B again.More
This place really is a great B&B, me and my brother booked two rooms at this B&B and when we arrived we were shown our rooms which were enormous, each with a luxurious double bed and an amazing view over towards the Derry skyline. The only slight drawback is of course we had to climb two flights of steps to reach these rooms, but if you're averagely fit, this shouldn't be a problem, it certainly caused no issue with us, and knowing how helpful the owning couple were, I'm sure they would help if this was a matter of concern. I should also mention the welcome we received was also exceptional, no we weren't just shown to our rooms but were offered tea, coffee and cakes which I thought was a very nice touch. The rooms were clean and being slightly outside the city away from the main road or pubs meant they were very quiet. In fact to reach the city is via a very pleasant 20 minute walk along the river and then over a bridge giving another fantastic view of Derry. I really can't fault this place we enjoyed our stay very much.

This B&B is located in a beautiful area of Londonderry, in a quiet, safe neighborhood and not too far at all from city centre. The couple that runs it are great and the breakfast was awesome! Very pretty place and we would definitely return there if we get a chance to come back to this beautiful country!
Shannon & Tom......
Thanks for staying wih us and spending the time to do this review. We're delighted you enjoyed your stay in our home.........
We were warmly welcomed into this family home! Peaceful, quiet gorgeous rooms, Spotlessly clean, comfortable, views over Derry outstanding. Spoilt for choice at breakfast, fresh quality food, a lot of hard work put in to this service! We appreciated the lift into the city a short distance away...thank you, we wouldn't hesitate to book again!
We're delighted you enjoyed your stay with us Kristen. We'll no doubt see you again in the future...
The house is located at the top of a hill (almost) and very close to Londonderry / Derry. Since it is rather new, GPS devices may not provide the correct directions and the hosts provided clear directions (and co-ordinates for the GPS-crazy ones like me) and it worked wonders. We had a room on the top floor with a view of the city and at night, it was magnificent. The room was furnished with everything that you could hope for and more - Claire and Keiran have classic tastes, and is very much reflected in the manner the house has been made a home. I would strongly recommend this room and house.
The breakfast may not have a lot of items for the vegetarians / vegans, but the spread and coffee were excellent.
This is a good place to use as a base for visits around Londonderry, including the Atlantic Causeway Drive.
We're delighted you enjoyed your stay at Victoria Gate B & B. Thanks for staying with us!
