We loved the accommodations at Shipquay during our stay there in Derry. Given its location within the City Walls, the Shipquay is ideal for enjoying your time in Derry. The Shipquay is located in a gorgeous Italianate-style-listed heritage building that comprises a wealth of magnificent boutique hotel rooms. Our Superior Double Room had a beautiful and comfortable king-sized bed that was stylish and sophisticated. We enjoyed the amenities, such as the walk-in shower and the castiron tub that my wife and I loved immensely. They had complimentary WiFi and robes and slippers for us to wear in the

Snuck in here without a reservation and so glad we stumbled across it. Food was incredible with excellent vegetarian options. Good unique cocktail menu (I had a peach tea; Jameson's, peach schnapps, black tea which was lovely) and attentive service.

Amazing, one of the most relaxing places Ive ever had an afternoon lunch. My partner and I had the fresh haddock & chips and Hereford prime beef burger, both 10/10 top quality. The staff were so friendly and the place really has that boutique hotel feel. This restaurant would not be out of place in Dublin or London! The atmosphere was very relaxing with good music for a chilled autumn afternoon. The wine was very good and the service was second to none. We will definitely stay in this hotel on our next trip to derry. Very reasonable prices also. 40 for 2 glasses of red, 2 main courses
