360 Hotel Tour

We are just 10 to 15 minutes’ drive or taxi from the restaurants, bustling bars and historic ramparts of Derry’s Walled City; the gateway to both the celebrated Causeway Coastal Route, and Wild Atlantic Way, and just three miles from City of Derry airport.

Our location is also a great starting point for the Causeway Coastal Route along the North Coast of Ireland, taking in stunning beaches, breath-taking views, and the must-see Giant’s Causeway.

For Game of Thrones fans, numerous beauty spots along the route, including Dunluce Castle and Downhill Beach, have also provided filming locations for the smash hit TV show.

Anglers are brilliantly served in the area surrounding the White Horse Hotel, with river, lake and marine fishing (subject to permissions and licenses) including the Rivers Faughan and Roe, Binevenagh Lake and Enagh Lough. You can freeze your catch in our dedicated chest freezer, or even have our chefs gut and cook it for you to enjoy.

We are moments away from Faughan Valley Golf Centre, a short drive from City of Derry Golf Club, and around 45 minutes from Royal Portrush, site of the 148^th Open Championship.

Rambling enthusiasts can explore our beautiful countryside, from nearby Muff Glen and Ballykelly Forest, to the magnificent Sperrin mountains. Well worth donning your walking boots for.

Our newly updated Spa offers a tempting array of massages, facials, day packages and beauty treatments, using premium products and essential oils from Decléor Paris. Post-treatment, guests can continue to unwind with a refreshing sorbet, reclining on a luxury waterbed in our relaxation area.

Our secluded hideaway outdoor hot tubs are also available for hire (at a supplement, for up to six people) making them ideal for small groups. And for a truly decadent dip, why not add a glass of bubbles?
