Ardgort Country House

When we walked up to Ardgort, we were greeted by the sweetest good girl Tulley, a black lab. Once inside, John, the host/owner/operator greeted us with a warm smile! After a tour of the large, traditionally decorated house, we settled into our room. It was a lovely room that reminded me of a simpler time. Clean, cozy and comfortable. The town pretty much closes down on a Monday, but we were able to pick up some food at the market close by. We settled in to a cozy lounge room while John stoked the fireplace to keep the chill away. There’s a well stocked bar on site and John was a very accommodating bar tender! Breakfast the next morning was fabulous! Made to our order and ready on time! When we left, there were hugs all around! We felt like family. I would definitely stay again.

Large en-suite room, good wi-fi, very comfy bed. Everything fine though the heating should have been on earlier, as it took a long while for the room to warm up. Good breakfast, cooked to order. Garden is being re-landscaped at the moment, should be rather splendid once complete. Main thing that made the stay really special was the entirely natural hospitality of host John.

I really enjoyed my night at the Ardgort house, the rooms were comfortable and spacious, with great views. Although at first they were quite cold, they warmed up and were pleasant to stay in. Breakfast was very nice, and we had a welcoming and warm host. All in all, a lovely stay!

We loved it all! From the moment we arrived we felt very welcome. John greeted us and brought us to our room, he made sure we had everything we needed and even gave recommendations for going to Derry city. The room its self was clean, especially the fresh white linens and had everything we needed, we loved the classical style of the home. We had a great sleep and the bed was comfortable. We had a double room with a bath and had access to a shared balcony. Room was a nice temperature, not cold or damp. Breakfast had lots of options, unlimited cereals, fruits, toast etc. I ordered scrambled eggs and they were great, my husband is gluten free and John even threw on more when he heard so he would have a bigger breakfast - very generous. Beautiful, friendly dog Tilly out the front if you wish to hang out but if your not a dog person, don't worry she stays outside :) We were very happy with our stay and would definitely come back!! 10/10

Lovely manager, our queen bed was in a large room with a balcony and outdoor sitting area. The shower has low pressure so that was the only negative. Easy to find and parking on site was great.

We had a great stay. The room was as expected and clean. It has a lot of Charme and is absolutely good for a stay. A special highlight is John, the host. Absolutely kind and courteous! He made our stay as authentic as we wished it to be. We can definitely recommend staying there!

I stayed for one night as had a local business meeting. I travel overnight most weeks and at accustomed to the usual often soulless chain hotels. John is a great host who can’t do enough for you. It’s worth being aware that some sites state there is an a la carte restaurant. This is currently not the case. The town’s restaurants I understand are all closed for good. John drove into the town while I unpacked, to let me know what food was available. There is fish and chips or a pizza place. You can’t really eat this food in your room though, so just be aware of this. Breakfast is cooked to order, much nicer than a buffet. There weren’t many guests when I stayed which made it peaceful. It’s a very different kind of stay. If you want a warm welcome and a quirky hotel, this is for you. I would stay again but maybe not for a long time as would like to have a restaurant and a bar.

Quaint historic property with a friendly and accommodating host.

All attempts were made to ensure our stay was comfortable. Lovely house, spacious room and balcony. Site needs updating, there are no laundry facilities. Bar not open. No meals available except for breakfast. The town of Castlederg is ‘sad’, appears not to have recovered from Covid shutdowns.
