For over 275 years, a fine country house has stood on high ground at Ardmore, within 3 km of the historic centre of Londonderry - a walled city, long celebrated in song and story. Today Beech Hill is a privately owned hotel in a sylvan setting, surrounded by 32 acres of parkland and landscaped gardens (with ponds and waterfalls) affording occasional thrilling glimpses of an abundant wildlife. Whatever about wildlife, gentle life within the sturdy walls of this updated country house is what Beech Hill is largely about, offering, as it does, very high standards of accommodation (with many fine antique pieces), superb cuisine, attentive service and a most dependable wine list. Golfing, sailing and the pleasures of participating at a local Flying Club are among the decidedly outdoor activities.
