Location & Setting
Number 8 The Townhouse sits 80 metres from St. Columbs Cathedral and 200 metres from The Diamond, inside the historic Walled City district. The building is an early-1700s townhouse with access directly onto the Derry Walls, offering views over the city. Guests are within a 5-minute walk of the Guildhall, The Millennium Forum, and The Craft Village.
Rooms & Comforts
Rooms include Family Rooms, Twin Rooms, Single Rooms, and Deluxe Double Rooms with Bath, some offering garden views. Each room has a flat-screen TV and a seating area; bathrooms feature heated towel racks and bath sheets. The townhouse has 5 floors with no elevator, so rooms on higher levels require climbing steep stairs.
Host & Local Expertise
Host Kieran provides local recommendations and insights on Derry's history, including the Troubles. He offers responsive service via text message before arrival, with a door code and key collection system for self-check-in. Kieran also runs guests to the train station when needed, as reported by multiple visitors.
Breakfast & Dining
A complimentary continental breakfast is served daily in the basement dining room, with cereals, fresh fruit, yogurt, and bread for toasting. Gluten-free options such as oats, nuts, seeds, and gluten-free bread are available upon request. Breakfast hours are 8:00-9:00 on weekdays, with self-service and host interaction.
Nearby Attractions & Cultural Experiences
The Walls of Derry run directly outside the front door, and the Museum of Free Derry and Bloody Sunday Memorial is a 10-minute walk away. The Derry Girls Experience at Tower Museum is accessible within the same walking distance. Other nearby points include The Craft Village and The City Gates, both 300 metres from the property.

“This townhouse occupies a prime spot right on the city walls, making it remarkably easy to explore Derry on foot. The warm welcome from the host, Kieron, and the well-appointed rooms create a genuinely comfortable atmosphere. It strikes a fine balance between convenient city centre access and a quiet, charming stay.”
