We arrived cold and wet but Jim's warm welcome and lovely pot of tea soon had us feeling at home. The lounge was cosy and felt like a home rather than an impersonal visitors' room. The cottage is in a good location, a pleasant walk over the new 'Peace Bridge' into the town. Jim and his lovely wife Dee made... More

This is my third visit - clearly I love it. I read with interest the comments about tea/coffee making facilities - I could order FRESH tea or coffee until 1 am - I generally prefer a fresh hot drink so I think the comment is somewhat unfair. However, what can I say that others have not said so elegantly? Very... More

We stayed at Caw Cottage toward the end of July, 2011. Jim and Dee were over the top in their kindness, hospitality and help. We were a family of four (parents and two teen sons). Jim met our train (out of pure kindness) and gave us a ride to the Cottage. The cottage was wonderful and comfortable. The authentic Irish... More

This was our first visit to the area (a fascinating and beautiful place). We're so glad we chose Caw Cottage as our base. Good location for the airport and local tourist attractions. Jim and Dee are a very special couple, we felt genuinely welcome. The room wasnt 'boutique hotel' style, but it was very comfortable with everything we could need.... More

After travelling for 6 weeks around the UK and Ireland with my Husband and 15year old son, Jim and Dee helped make Derry our most favourite place. If I mentioned all the "above and beyond" kindnesses they bestode on us they would be swamped with visitors. It was the down to earth, genuine desires to make our stay pleasant and... More

If not for our hosts, Jim and Dee, this would be a very ordinary B&B. The facility is unremarkable, the beds too soft, the duvet crinkles like cellophane is inside it, there is no tea/coffee maker in room, bathroom is old and grout chipping out of tiles but. . .it was clean and as I said, our hosts were probably...

Spent two nights here. Jim and Dee were perfect hosts. I think they both went the extra mile to insure our stay was comfortable. They are located across the water from Derry, not really a comfortable walk for us. We had a car so it was not an issue. Dee asked what we wanted for breakfast. I think Jim likes... More

Jim & Dymphna made us feel welcome right from the start. We settled in & after a coffee relaxed with some very interesting conversation. Local info & history you cant get from books! Rooms,breakfast & hospitality over & above anything we expected.
