Bishops Gate Hotel Derry
Set inside Derry's historic city walls in the Cathedral Quarter, the Grade B1 listed Bishops Gate Hotel is one of those places that feels properly special the moment you walk in. The building dates back to 1899 and the restoration has kept the Edwardian character front and centre, high ceilings, period detailing and that 'old Derry' sense of place, while still giving you the comfort you want after 18 holes.
You've got 31 guestrooms in total, including suites and the London St Apartments, plus some standout public spaces: The Wig and Gown Champagne Bar and Restaurant, The Hervey Library and the Northern Counties Ballroom. It's boutique in the true sense, intimate, stylish and a world away from a standard chain hotel.
From a golf-break point of view, the location is a real win. You're right in the city, so you can do dinner and a pint without taxis, but you're also well placed for rounds at City of Derry Golf Club and other local options. If you're building a bigger itinerary, it also works as a smart base before heading up the road to the North Coast for Portstewart, Castlerock and Royal Portrush. The drive to the coast is an easy one, and you're close enough to the Guildhall, the Walls and the Peace Bridge if you want to mix in a bit of city time between rounds.
Who is this for?
Golfers who want a characterful city-centre base in Derry, with good food on site and plenty happening nearby once the clubs are back in the room.
Who is it best for?
Couples and small groups mixing local golf with a North Coast links run, and anyone who'd rather stay somewhere with real heritage than a cookie-cutter resort.

Accommodation at Bishops Gate Hotel Derry
There are 31 guestrooms here, including two suites and nine London St Apartments. Each room has its own look, but the palette stays true to the building's Edwardian roots, dove greys, muted moss greens, rich plum tones and warm gold accents. Expect plush finishes, oversized velvet headboards, King Koil beds and quality fabrics that make a difference when you've been on your feet all day.
If you're travelling as a couple and keeping things simple, the standard rooms give you boutique comfort in a quieter, more intimate setting than a big resort. The suites add extra space, handy if you're unpacking for a few nights or you want a bit more breathing room between rounds and dinner.
For golf groups, the London St Apartments are worth a look. They're self-contained, which is ideal if you want flexibility around breakfast and tee times, or if you'd rather spread out than squeeze clubs and kit into one room. They also suit longer stays where you're mixing golf, city time and a day trip up the coast. Parking is on site, which takes one job off the list when you're hauling bags and luggage, and the hotel can sort early breakfasts if you've got a morning tee time to make.
Food-wise, The Wig and Gown Champagne Bar & Restaurant covers breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea and dinner. The menu leans on locally sourced seasonal ingredients with a classic approach, plus a solid drinks and cocktail list for an easy post-round wind-down. And if you fancy a change of scene, you're already in the Cathedral Quarter, so Derry's restaurants and pubs are on your doorstep. It's the kind of setup where you can stay in if you want something relaxed, or head out if you're after a bit more buzz after a long day on the course.
