Dined again on Sunday last - by far the best Carvery in the area; service and staff par-excellent, food simply a 10/10. Well done to all Drummond

I've been coming here for years and there are good reasons why this is the case! The staff are very friendly and down to earth. The Sunday carvery and indeed weeknight good is great value and consistently very tasty. The location is excellent. I grew up in the area and really enjoy my return visits here a few times a year. The food is just great. People we know all go here, particularly on a Sunday. The price had gone up a bit over the years that I've been coming but that's totally understandable given the rising costs of everything, especially since covid. I've not stayed in the rooms due to living locally so can't comment on that aspect but I'm sure they're great. Lovely owners too. It's a very down to earth hotel. That's the main reason why I return. Absolutely excellent. Better food than the nearby Roe Park Hotel yet also often cheaper. Highly recommended and I can't wait to return soon!

Excellent bistro for food in the evening, good value and friendly staff. Nice ambience in the old part of the hotel which is an historic building. Hotel room in annex perfectly clean and functional, but somewhat lacking in character.

Perfect for me. either very recently renovated or VERY well maintained...possibly both. Room was small but immaculately clean and comfortable. room was very warm - which is a nice complaint to have!

Traditioneel Iers familiehotel, mij sprak de hal en lounge erg aan vanwege het oude klassieke meubilair, de kleurstelling en de haarden. Je proeft de geschiedenis. Ik hou daarvan.Ouderwets goede service door de familie. Er is een lift. Wel geduld hebben, hij gaat niet zo snel. Ik reisde alleen en kreeg een tweepersoonskamer voor alleengebruik, badkamer met bad. Het was bij het douchen wat lastig om een goede temperatuur te krijgen en er was een wisselende waterdruk. Gratis Wi-Fi op de kamers, die werkte erg goed. Ik had een strijkplank op de kamer, maar geen strijkbout. Wel een föhn, goede tv en koffiezetfaciliteiten, geen koelkastje. Je hoort vanuit de kamer wel goed het verkeer op de hoofdstraat.Toen ik er was er een feest van een bruiloft en live muziek. Van het feest en de muziek heb ik helemaal geen overlast ervaren, wel van rennende kinderen over de gang 's avonds laat. Wel leuk om het bruidspaar en al die mooi aangeklede bezoekers van de bruiloft door het hotel te zien lopen.Het eten werd geserveerd in de bar en vond ik bijzonder lekker, goede kok!Vanuit het hotel kun je met het openbaar vervoer in 40 minuten naar Derry rijden. De bushalte is op enkele minuten loopafstand van het hotel.Op 5 minuten lopen is er een supermarkt, een drogist/apotheek, Fish and Chips, pub, kapper, postkantoortje en een bakker waar je ook verse koffie kunt bestellen met taart.In ongeveer een half uur loop je vanaf het hotel naar de zee, daar kun je nog wandelen langs de dijk.

It?s old fashioned, feels like being in one of those castles from back in the 1800?s, which is what I love ld the most. I was met by a gentleman whom I think is the owner, very friendly and easy to communicate with. I had called in advance to make a reservation over the phone and receptionist was very helpful and professional, she seemed to have so much knowledge of the area. I?d definitely recommend this place and I will definitely be going back. If I were to change anything, it?s the time I arrived, next time I?ll arrive earlier

Would highly recommend. The owner is very hands on, makes sure to ask if you need anything, very friendly, a lovely man!Staff all very helpful and friendly. The place itself is very clean and has a vintage style that was really cool!

Drummond Hotel: The One Reason to Come to Northern Ireland. From a seasoned traveler and food critic, the Drummond Hotel in BallyKelly, provided me with the best meal I've ever had. Now I know those are big words. But sometimes you just get lucky. Perfectly cook, perfectly spiced, perfect pairings. Yes. Yorkshire pudding, brown gravy, cream potatoes, roast beef, sticky pudding and more. It's when mom's cooking turns gourmet. It's still Mom's. But it's better. Perfect temperature. Pourable gravy. Uber al dente carrots, broccoli and cauliflower seasoned to perfection. Do yourself a favor and come to the Drummond for a healthy, flavor feast. What a treat by the nicest people ever.

Tried to get a couple of coffees. Awful experience. Only saving grace was they didnt charge us. But they couldnt really as the coffee was undrinkable.Food & drinks: Awful.

Had a wonderful weeks stay at this family run hotel. They run a tight ship. Nothing is too much to ask for. Brilliant food prepared by in-house chef. Rooms modern with a grand home decor of French furnishings. Highly recommend. Would stay again.A big plus disable facilties available.

The rooms were dated with poor showers and lack of hanging space. Hotel needs dragging into the 21st century. Staff were welcoming and friendly however. Breakfast was adequate but at the weekend the cooked food was not cooked fresh and quality was not particularly good.

I had a great nights sleep and the staff were very friendly and helpful with all my needs, the breakfast was something else along with the dinner and lunch. I was even aloud to meet the breakfast chef Jamie and got a selfie?

Conference facilities are good. That's the only aspect of the hotel I can comment on.

We had lunch here and it was very good indeed. The food was excellent and very well priced. The fish was very fresh and the roast beef very tender. The staff were very friendly and attentive. Worth visiting.
