Lovely spot, great accommodations
The place is laid out beautifully and is quite large. The homemade cut out cookies were superb and while we didn’t wander, it was fun to be greeted by dairy cows and calves as we entered the property. We were disheartened by the scolding we received upon our 10 pm arrival and suggest to the owner that in her ALL her communication prior to arrival she stress the importance for her to know when to expect her travelers. A key box would be a proper remedy to her frustration at being kept up later than she likes. I have stayed at MANY VRBO’s and have never had an issue, since there are ways for owners to provide access that don’t necessitate a personal greeting. Hopefully others following in our footsteps to Drumcorn will not encounter this issue. Great location to town, while feeling that you are in the middle of nowhere.
Thank you for your review , yes this is a well maintained cottage in a great locution . A lot of hard work and time goes into preparing the cottage for new guests
As for your late arrival , I emailed you several times before you arrived requesting you to confirm arrival time .There were no replies . when in Ireland , owners of holiday rentals make a point in welcoming all their guests personally. The cottage is next door to the farmhouse and when on occasions a guest is late alternative arrangements are made
Also when a reservation is made for a number of guests only to find out the numbers had increased on check- in 10.40pm Sunday night .Breaking the terms and conditions of the booking agreement
When booking a holiday rental more care and cooperation is needed
Top notch!
Elaine and Robert are fabulous hosts and the nicest people! They had an apple pie and bottle of wine waiting for us when we got there. They came by every morning for a chat and to see if everything was ok! The house is very comfortable and everything works. The kitchen is especially nice as there is no shortage of great cooking tools, plates, glasses, etc. The location is very rural and quiet yet close to Derry. It’s about an hour from the Giant’s Causeway and other great locations.
We highly recommend this house!
Couldn't Ask For Anything More!
We were in Northern Ireland for a wedding and were lucky enough to stay with Elaine and Robert Bredin on their dairy farm just outside Londonderry. Their three bedroom, two bath home is warm, welcoming and outfitted perfectly. So perfectly, that we were able to host a Canadian Thanksgiving dinner for 16 the Monday following the wedding. Elaine and Robert are consummate hosts and their farm is truly beautiful.
Hi Virginia
Thank you so much for the lovely review . It's very much appreciated. I'm so glad that you enjoyed your stay
Elaine
Brilliant!!! 5 Star Highly recommend!
Elaine was a wonderful host and the cottage was HUGE and absolutely beautiful. Our family of 5 stayed there for 2 nights and I wish it had been a week. Home baked cupcakes, views of rolling hills with cows and calves. Elaine went above and beyond to help us find a whale watching tour guide and give us any other info we were looking for. I would definitely go back and highly recommend. It's only a couple of minutes drive from the town centre but out of the way enough to be completely peaceful and surrounded by country views. Thanks!!
Country living with perks!
My husband and I stayed here for our first trip to Northern Ireland. We both wanted something remote but still close to Derry and the Northern Ireland sites! The Bredin's were great hosts, making sure we had what we needed and entertaining with great conversation. The cottage was well kept, great beds, spot on advice for activities, and a cozy fireplace. We loved our stay and will be back again!
Great Place
This is a great place to stay. A working dairy farm, Ii is situated in a beautiful valley with green fields and nature all around but within a 10 minute drive of Derry city center. Elaine and Robert were perfect hosts, going out of their way to help, even going so far as to take us to the bus when we were taking a trip and picking us up again. The cottage was beautifully kept and quiet. We will definitely stay there again when we return to Derry.
