Our trip overseas was 99% pre-planned. The only night we left open was when we eventually landed in Derry. The wonderful lady at tourist info told us there was a huge jazz festival on, plus a bank holiday weekend,and tried her best to find us accommodations. She succeeded finding the four of us rooms at Clarence House. It's a beautiful,... More

I came to Ireland with a study abroad and we stayed at the Clarence House. I cannot believe ow overwhelmingly wonderful the inn keeper is. Every morning he cooks a full hot breakfast complete with multiple types of meat and eggs along with pastries and homemade porridge (the best)!! There is a bar downstairs, and the rooms are clean and... More

The Clarence House and it's proprietor, Michael Slevin, exemplify all that is warm and wonderful about Derry and his beautiful homeland of Ireland. The Clarence house is Charming and beautiful, the rooms are clean and quaint, the beds unbelieveably comfortable.On cold nights the heat is perfect. He transforms the living area into a gorgeous dining room for a delicious full... More

It was a curious experience. We arrived there one evening at around 9 pm or so, after a few b&b had already turned us down for being fully booked. I asked the price and I went to the car to tell my boyfriend on the price, since it was a bit more we expected. When we came back the two... More

I wasnt alive then so not sure!) but to be honest it was as I suggest an expereince, and isn't that part of travelling? I'd... More

We stayed in Clarence house this last August and it was an excellent guesthouse. It is located ten minutes walk to the walled city of Derry, the rooms are clean, charming and comfortable, and the owner provides you all the information you need. It is very amazing to talk with the owner. He has a irish sense of humour. I... More

I booked this accommodation on line through a booking company and after one week I was told that the owner would not honour the booking as he was already full up. The booking in question was for the 31st October for the Halloween season. I found it highly disappointing that the owner was clearly trying to maximise his booking potential... More

I stayed in this accomodation recently, and must say i wont be staying again. A friend of mine (who happened to be a woman!) booked this place for me as a 'treat' for a stay in Derry. When i arrived she accompanied me into the reception and, as stated by others on this site, the proprietor proceeded to bombard me... More
