Beech Hill is a delightful 18th Century house that in
the best traditions of the Country House hotel, offer elegance, charm
and genuine warmth and hospitality.
The house dates back to 1729 and was built by Captain
Thomas Skipton, whose family settled here from England in the 17th Century.
Beech Hill’s unique architecture is fascinating, influenced by French
and Italian designs. Its attractive bow windows, distinctive porch and
beautifully landscaped gardens give Beech Hill a sylvan look.
Throughout its history Beech Hill has played host to a
variety of interesting guests from Presidents to Princes and during World
War Two several companies of US Marines including those from the Boston
reserves, were headquartered at Beech Hill.
Following careful restoration Beech Hill continues in
its tradition of hospitality offering four-star luxury and a gentle pace
of life within graceful surroundings. The hotel is as attractive inside
as it is outside with stylish lounges of elaborate plasterwork in the
ceilings and elegant period furnishings.
Each of the bedrooms are tastefully decorated and individually
furnished in the typically chintzy, cosy country house style and each
is fully equipped with all the usual essentials.
Dining at Beech Hill is a true gourmet experience and
the Ardmore Restaurant has gained a reputation for culinary excellence,
with its use of fresh local produce from game and locally caught Salmon
and trout to home-grown vegetables offering some of the best tastes of
Ulster.
Beech Hill also boasts a leisure suite with sauna, steam
room, Jacuzzi and gym together with health and beauty treatments. And
it this all sounds too lazy, there is ample opportunity for horse-riding,
fishing, sailing and even flying at the local flying club. For golfers
the hotel also offers 9 holes ‘on the house’ at the Ballyshaskey
Golf Course just a short walk through the wooded grounds of Beech Hill.
Situated just outside the historic city of Derry, Beech
Hill is perfectly placed for exploring this interesting walled city.
