About
Welcome to The Willows — a luxury 5-star, adult-only bed and breakfast set in a beautifully restored Edwardian country house, surrounded by three acres of private gardens on the slopes of Binevenagh Mountain in Limavady, Northern Ireland.
Rated #1 B&B in Limavady on TripAdvisor and awarded 5-stars by Tourism Northern Ireland, The Willows offers a genuinely personal, world-class welcome from the moment you arrive. Expect a warm greeting from your host Annie, a plate of freshly baked welcome treats, and the kind of hospitality that guests describe as "a little piece of heaven" and "a home away from home."
Four beautifully appointed en-suite guest rooms — Birch, Hazel, Rowan, and Aspen — are each named after the trees of the surrounding estate. Every room is designed for total relaxation, with luxury linens, blackout curtains, free high-speed WiFi, and thoughtful touches throughout. Willow House is an adults-only retreat: the perfect escape for couples, solo travellers, and anyone who genuinely needs to unwind.
Your stay includes a complimentary homemade continental breakfast each morning, prepared with locally sourced, seasonal produce. Specialty coffee, freshly baked goods, and a breakfast that guests consistently rate among the best they have ever eaten.
Step outside and the grounds are yours to enjoy. The outdoor hot tub sits beneath open sky with Binevenagh Mountain as your backdrop — best experienced at dusk with a glass of something cold. The covered BBQ terrace is strung with fairy lights and comes with a pizza oven, open-air kitchen, chiminea, gas BBQ, and lawn games. There is also a cosy in-house library and a guest refreshment station stocked with teas, coffees, and specialty drinks.
The Willows sits at the heart of Northern Ireland's most spectacular scenery. Benone Strand — a two-mile Blue Flag beach — is a 10-minute drive. Giant's Causeway is 35 minutes away. Mussenden Temple is 20 minutes. The city of Derry is 30 minutes. Royal Portrush Golf Club is 30 minutes, with 7 courses within 20 minutes. 23 Game of Thrones filming locations are accessible from the door. The Magilligan Point ferry to Donegal departs 10 minutes away.
Your host Annie will hand-draw you a personalised map of local recommendations — a detail guests mention in review after review.
Mabel is our resident Yorkshire Terrier. She will almost certainly come to say hello.
