Annie really has thought of everything!

“This is a beautiful location! You can easily get to major sites from here or just enjoy the tranquility of where you are. Annie and Mabel really make this location great! They are warm and inviting… The studios are spacious and feel like home. Annie really has thought of lots of things you may want (bath non-slip mat, broom, extra blankets, snacks with your tea) even to how the bathroom is designed.”

A rare place of tranquility, beauty and exceptional accommodation

13 May 2025

Located in a beautiful area just outside the town of Limavady, there is easy access to stunning natural areas of interest, sweeping beaches and all manor of activities as well as the charming city of Londonderry. However, it is difficult to tear yourself away from the chilled out atmosphere of The Willows itself with its seating, spa pool and bbq areas illuminated by fairy lights in the evening and sun traps during the day. Hosts, Annie and Mabel ensure you have a great stay and provide plenty of inspiration whatever type of stay you are looking for.

The accommodation is totally first class, it is immaculate, well designed and the interiors of the rooms are a joy.

After staying for two nights (April 25), we’ve booked with Annie again, for a week this time, and will be regular customers.

I would recommend booking direct, rather than the usual booking sites, as it works out considerably cheaper for exactly the same experience.

Fantastic start to a wedding.

Fabulous accommodation and setting for the night before our son’s wedding. Annie was so friendly and helpful and provided our large party with a delicious barbecue. Thanks so much.

Elaine and David Meechan

The beautiful accommodation was matched by Annie’s lovely personality!

7 October 2024

We can’t say enough about the Willows. It’s a fantastic location in the country and just so peaceful, we already look forward to our return trip to the north of Ireland. Annie is an amazing person let alone host. She is a wealth of information and inspiration. She took time to talk to me about what things were like in Limavady back in the day of when my grandmother was a child. Not that Annie was around back then 🤣 but because she learned from talking to others. Taking a moment over tea to help understanding one’s past can’t be understated. She went above and beyond and I’m truly grateful to her.

The self catering studio was large, well stocked and we didn’t want to leave! I could go on and on about both the the Willows and Annie. Such a treat!

We stayed for 2 nights when we were over for a wedding and Annie (and Mabel the dog!!) made us feel at home from the minute we arrived. The room was clean, comfortable and quiet, breakfast fresh and delicious each morning and the location really was the perfect base for our needs. We thoroughly recommend The Willows and would definitely stay here again xx

Annie is the perfect host

She will literally give you the shirt off her back to ensure you have a great time in Northern Ireland. The breakfast was fresh and filling. Specialty coffee and tea available. Beautiful gardens out front to walk through while having tea. Be sure to give Mabel the dog some love, she’s a sweetie.

10 September 2022

The whole family came over from Glasgow for a family wedding, myself and Scott had initially booked another hotel and by chance had a last minute jiggle around in accommodation and we ended up here. It was absolutely fantastic, the host Annie was so lovely and her wee dog Mabel was so sweet I wanted to take her home. We will 100% be back. I’d have quite happily stayed for a month xx
