derry B+B?

Hi

Can anyone recommened a nice B+B in Derry, looking to stay 2 nites at the end of easter week,

The hotels are coming up very dear, except travel lodge.. Which is unavailable!

I don't mind staying in a B and B, but I have never been before so I don't know where is central to the city, just to walk round, sight see, the bars, restaurants etc

Anyone able to recommend anywhere, possible near the train station too

Tia

  • What about this groupon offer, i have booked the new Premier Inn for a weekend, got the £19 room rate

    http://www.groupon.co.uk/deals/belfast/city-hotel/16038439?nlp=&CID=UK_CRM_1_0_0_16&a=53

    And noticed on FB that Everglades had offers but they might be for this month.

    Thanks, I have never been bfore, but I have been told by someone who has that the premier inn is far out of the city, is it not?

    I was going to book it, but that's what put me off?
  • It probably is a wee bit out, i have only stayed in the city once, it was the clipper home coming weekend last year, we stayed in a BB cant remember the name but it was quite a bit out but we used the car and parked very cheaply in a carpark along the waterfront behind the city hotel.

    Thanks for that

    Had planned on getting the train down, but was told the train isn't currently running, but should b back up and running in april, meant to b going on 3rd april so hope its running then, if anyone can advise?

    Seems poor time planning that the train is off for the city of culture at the mo does it not?

    well done, tried SW last year and never got the hang of it and found the class repetitive.

    Ach thank u so much,

    It sounds like a lot, but it wasn't really, it was 80 odd pounds, in 40 odd weeks, it averaged out at 1.8lbs per week, it was so dooable

    Yeah, indeed, the class can be very "samey", and I do think the best motivation comes from within, and from those near and dear to you, and not from the class, that said... I don't ever miss the class, I darent.. If I start missing.. I would put the weight all back on again.. And more! I have seen so many leave, and just pile it all on again, and I am determine that it won't happen to me!

    I do think its a very easy diet, tho if I could give u my 2 best tips it would be, avoid white bread like the plague.. All sorts.. Pancakes, soda, batch, etc. And exercise on a daily basis, regardless of the weather! :-) easier said than done at the mo!
