Derry hotel ‘incredibly honoured' to be only Northern Ireland stay ranked in TripAdvisor's top 25 hotels
It is the only hotel in Northern Ireland to be included in the Top 25 list, which is compiled annually based on traveller reviews and ratings over a 12-month period.
The luxury boutique hotel, located within Derry's historic Cathedral Quarter, joins other high-profile UK establishments recognised in this year's awards, including St. Ermin's Hotel in London, Le Manoir aux Quat'Saisons in Oxfordshire, and The Resident Covent Garden.
The accolade names Bishop's Gate as a leading destination for hospitality and reflects consistently high standards in customer service and guest experience.
Built in 1899 and sensitively restored, the Derry spot is known for its Edwardian architecture 'with modern luxury and warm, authentic hospitality.'
Tripadvisor's 'Best of the Best' designation is awarded to those that consistently earn outstanding reviews, placing recipients among the top-rated hotels globally.
'To once again be recognised among the top hotels in the UK, and as the only Northern Ireland hotel on the list to feature in the Top 25, is an incredible honour,' said JP McCafferty, General Manager of Bishop's Gate Hotel.
'When you look at the locations and names of the hotels featured, it is a great statement of confidence in our city's hotel offering and an endorsement of the commitment and effort by everyone involved.
'This award shines a spotlight on the north west's premium hospitality industry and provides a real boost to both the international image of the region and domestic tourism.
'Derry-Londonderry is a confident, vibrant, forward-looking city that offers the best of all worlds, from city charm to coastal and countryside experiences.
'This award is a reflection of our staff's enthusiasm, dedication and unwavering commitment to excellent customer service. In my opinion, they are simply the best.
'We believe in delivering a genuine welcome to all of our guests and aim to ensure every visit is special, whether it is a wedding, an overnight stay or afternoon tea in The Gown Restaurant.
'It is extremely encouraging to have that recognised and reflected in visitor feedback.'
Kristen Dalton, President of Tripadvisor also celebrated the hotel's success, and said she hopes the award will continue to drive their business.
'Congratulations to Bishop's Gate Hotel on its recognition in Tripadvisor's Travelers' Choice Awards for 2025,' she said.

Stunning European island beats Caribbean for having world's best beach
Famed for its pastel pink sand and crystal-clear waters, it's hard to believe that the world's best beach is only four hours from the UK - and you can grab return flights in July for just £80 You don't need to jet over to the other side of the world to find sugar-like sand and crystal-clear waters. In fact, the best beach is much closer to the UK than you'd think. Earlier this year, review site Tripadvisor revealed its Travellers Choice Awards after analysing more than eight million listings over a 12-month period. It found that nothing could quite compare to the idyllic Elafonissi Beach, located on the Greek island of Crete. Famed for its pastel pink sand (believed to be caused by tiny fragments of seashells) and cobalt waters, Elafonissi Beach outranked dream Caribbean destinations such as Eagle Beach in Aruba and Playa Varadero in Cuba. The stunning beach, which is part of a protected nature reserve, looks like something straight out of a postcard - and makes for the perfect Instagram snap. Whether you want to spend the day basking under the sun with a good book, or prefer to cool yourself in the shallow lagoon - this beach really does offer something for everyone. Surrounded by a lush forest of cedar trees, the coastline is also a great spot for hikers and nature lovers alike. "This place is not overrated!" hailed one traveller who visited the beach back in April. "It's a short walk to get to this superb beach [from the car park] and it's quite special because of its many lagoons. A real little jewel! The water is super transparent and turquoise." Another person agreed, branding the beach 'wonderful'. It's the best beach I have seen," they wrote. "[The] water is very clean and fantastic for children. I want to come back there every year." A third added: "I'm in love with this place - it's one of my favourites. I recommend it to all the people who want to visit... the water was amazing." Of course, even the world's best beach can't impress everybody - and Elafonisi has garnered some negative attention, mainly around its €5 car park. "Can't get anywhere near the beach!" moaned one traveller, who dubbed the high parking fee a 'tourist scam'. Another agreed, scathing: "When we went to Elafonisi the water was not crystal clear (it was actually impossible to see the ground), and the sand was not pink. There was a crazy [amount of] people and when we came there all the sun beds and parasols had been occupied." Kristen Dalton of Tripadvisor hailed its Travellers' Choice Awards for reflecting the voices of 'millions of global travellers' and helping guide people to plan their 'best trip yet'. "In my family, beaches aren't just for sunbathing - we like to get out and explore!" she added. "The diversity of this year's winners really showcases everything that a beach trip can have to offer. Whether it's strolling the beautiful pink sand beaches of our world winner, Elafonissi beach, in Greece, experiencing breath-taking vistas in Indonesia, whale watching in Hawaii or diving in magical bioluminescent waters in Thailand - there really is something for everyone." If you're keen to check the beach out this year, you can fly to Crete directly from most major UK airports - including Manchester, Leeds, Newcastle, Bristol, and Bournemouth. If you're flexible with dates, you can grab return fares for as little as £80 in July. Accommodation on the island is equally affordable, with plenty of hostels and no-thrill hotels to meet the tightest of budgets. For example, a week's stay (Monday, July 7-14) at Studio Peacock will only set you back £215. This is based on two adults sharing a double bed in a one-bedroom apartment. However, if you're after something a little more luxurious, you have to check out Naiades Boutique Hotel. Located right on the beachfront, this adults-only resort is the epitome of chic and comes with free breakfast every morning. A Deluxe Suite with your own outdoor jacuzzi costs £1,563 on the exact same dates. Do you have a story to share? Email us at yourmirror@ for a chance to be featured.

I only ever travel on a budget – how I find the cheapest place to eat in every city I visit
Plus, the UK's top 10 best cheap eats revealed by TripAdvisor – including a cheese toastie restaurant and falafel shack DIG IN I only ever travel on a budget – how I find the cheapest place to eat in every city I visit Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) WHETHER a foodie or not, when away on holiday you have to eat - but you may not always want to splash out. Whilst you might want to splash out on one boujee meal during your holiday, spending hundreds on food is not always the aim of a trip away. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 10 I have travelled all over the world, but always on a budget Credit: Cyann fielding 10 As a result, I have found some top ways to make sure I get to eat great food but on the cheap Credit: Cyann fielding But finding cheap places to eat, whilst still maintaining quality or feeling the experience of a place can be hard to find in a city you don't know. Over the years I have travelled, I am usually on an extremely tight budget - but I love trying different food. As a result, I have collated my go-to resources for finding good eats, on a budget. Too Good to Go and Olio Food apps have been around a while now, and if you aren't already using Too Good To Go you are missing out. There are others too like Olio, but I do find Too Good To Go is the best. I have used the app both in and around the UK, but also in Barcelona, New York and San Francisco. Whilst some places have better offerings than others, new restaurants, cafes and eateries are constantly partnering with the app. In New York, I managed to pick up two stuffed-to-the-brim salad boxes with rice, lettuce, meat, and veggies for just $6. I have used the app multiple times whilst living in London too and my best purchases have included a Toby Carvery for £4 and a box of six Crispy Creme doughnuts of my choosing, for £3.59. Too Good To Go operates in 19 countries including many European, North America (Canada and the United States) and Australia. Gok Wan opens table-less restaurant where diners are served their food from the floor Olio on the other hand is a food-sharing app used in over 49 countries. Lots of the time, instead of full meals or cafe treats you can get on Too Good To Go, on Olio you can get free food like veggies and bread. Markets and Street Food There is no question that markets and street food are great places to grab a bite. And whilst some markets can be expensive, there are many that offer great deals and the food is still top notch. Each city tends to have a least one food market, but also in places like New York there will be street vendors on corners selling basic like hot dogs for a few dollars. 10 This includes using a variety of apps, like Too Good To Go Credit: cyann fielding Most market finds in and around Europe have cost me less than €10, and typically if you watch out for portion sizes before ordering - one meal can be shared between two. This is something I often do when travelling with my sister to cut down costs. Tastecard, Appetite and Neotaste New deal apps arise all the time - especially if you are like me and live in the capital. Ones like Tastecard have been around for a while and give customers a discount to many restaurants in the UK and Ireland. Typically, the discount is up to 50 per cent or two meals for the price of one. Two newer kids on the block are Appetite and Neotaste - and I am already using both apps. Appetite is like a social media-slash-dating site for food. You essentially have offerings on the app that you swipe on 'to try', 'skip' or 'been'. 10 Going down less tourist-y streets is often having lower prices Credit: cyann fielding There is also a map function, to see place near you. Prices are indicted by '£', with more '£' meaning more expensive. Neotaste, on the other hand, comes from foodie content creator, Eating with Tod. You do need to pay for a membership which starts from £2.99 a month, but it gives you discounts and even some freebies at some great places across different cities. The app currently operates in five UK cities, Vienna, over 30 German destinations and six destinations in The Netherlands. Google Maps Whilst many know you can search for places to eat on Google Maps, many also forget that you can filter these places by price. Simply find the city you are in on Google Maps, and search something like 'restaurant', 'food market' or 'cafe' depending on what you want. Once searched, in the top left hand corner of the map, you will see a price tab. 10 But eating on the cheap doesn't mean you don't get the same experience as spending more money Credit: cyann fielding Click on it and you will get a drop down menu of different pound signs. I tend to select '£' and '££' to filter out the more expensive places, and see the cheaper spots near to where I am at the time. Bib Gourmand I only discovered Bib Gourmand recently and have quickly become obsessed. Via Michelin Guide's website or app, you can filter for an option called 'Bib Gourmand' which Michelin Guide describes as "good quality, good value cooking". These places have not quite received a Michelin star - but this means they are still great spots. The award recognises restaurants that offer high-quality, satisfying meals at an okay price. Bib Gourmand is still a mark of excellence for restaurants, but you will be getting food for way less than you would at a Michelin star restaurant. Also, after selecting the filter, each restaurant will have either '£' or '££', indicting even the cheapest sites. 10 Some sites like Bib Gourmand allows you to eat at top places for less Credit: cyann fielding Area/Profession specific discounts Area and profession specific discounts are a great perk to be more aware of. If you are a student with an ID card, this will be accepted in most countries as proof you are a student. Not only will this help you get into attractions for less, but particularly at big chains, get food for less too. In the UK, Blue Light discount also gives emergency service workers great deals. Depending on where you work too, there may be area discounts. For example, if you work in and around London Bridge - there are discounts and offers available via a London Bridge virtual discount card. 10 There are also specific discounts depending on your profession Credit: Cyann fielding Backstreets I'm not telling you to go down dark alleys in search of cheap eats, but often the streets behind main tourist thoroughfares have the same food options for a fraction of the value. In Amsterdam for example, I opted to go down a different road to avoid crowds on the more popular Damstraat - which leads tourists to Dam Square. With my tummy rumbling, I dived into a deli and picked up a large sandwich for around €5. When then cutting back on to the next street, I walked past a similar eatery selling sandwiches for €10. Keeping your eye out and taking different routes certainly does sometimes pay off. 10 It is worth looking at portion sizes too, to see if you can split a meal between two people Credit: Cyann Fielding TikTok and Instagram If you are an avid pre-planner like myself, then TikTok and Instagram are great resources for finding cheap places to eat. It might be a little time consuming, but after 10 minutes of scrolling on the a hashtag 'X' city cheap eats, you will find a few places. I will then go onto Google Maps, pre-save the place and keep doing that until I feel I have enough places saved. Then when in that city, and hungry, I will simply open my Google Maps and see the pre-saved eating spots closest to me and head to one. MealPal Each time I head to the states, I find it trickier than imagined to find cheap eats. Typically, portion sizes are bigger. 10 Food markets are also a great option for quick eats Credit: Cyann fielding But often I find I am spending an excessive amount of money, to throw half the dish away as I can't carry it around with me. Whilst MealPal is now available in London too, it is widely available across America - including Boston, Chicago, Miami, Washington D.C and Seattle. You can also use it in Sydney, Singapore and Toronto. What is great about MealPal is it champions itself on meals under a certain price - for example, less than £5 in London and less than $6 in America. London was also named TripAdvisor's best destination in the WORLD… here's our top picks for pubs, bars, hotels and attractions.

British tourist condemns Benidorm hotel because the 'entertainment was all Spanish' and 'the Spanish are loud are rude' in damning review
A furious British holidaymaker condemned a Benidorm hotel because of its 'loud and rude' Spanish guests and for not offering entertainment in English. In a scathing review posted on TripAdvisor, the Brit who stayed at Port Fiesta Park in the Spanish resort said: 'Lovely hotel but the food was poor plates always cold. Footballers arrived every weekend we were there noisy and given priority at meal times. Entertainment all Spanish.' Leaving a one-star review, the former guest also said 'Spanish guests were loud and rude.' 'Would not recommend', the Brit added. Despite the brutal overall rating, the holidaymaker gave the categories for value, location, service, rooms, cleanliness and sleep quality five stars. The hotel responded to the guest's remarks, saying: 'Thank you for sharing your opinion with us. We apologize if your experience was not as you expected and we take note of everything described in order to improve our service day by day. We are saddened by your story about other guests. 'Our hotel, like Benidorm, is an international destination that receives people of up to 10 different nationalities every day and all are welcome. Sincerely, the Port Fiesta Park team,' it added. But the Brit is not the first to complain about the amount of Spanish locals in the tourist destination. Leaving a one-star review, the former guest also said 'Spanish guests were loud and rude' Back in 2018, a British grandmother claimed her her holiday to Benidorm was ruined because her Spanish hotel had 'too many Spaniards in it'. Freda Jackson from Blackburn, Lancashire, said she cried at the end of her two-week trip to the popular holiday destination which she booked through travel operator Thomas Cook. The pensioner said her hotel was teeming with 'rude' Spaniards - and claimed one nearly knocked her over on one occasion. Ms Jackson had booked to stay at the Poseidon Playa, located on the outskirts of Benidorm in south east Spain, with a friend in April 2017. Ms Jackson said: 'The hotel was full of Spanish holidaymakers and they really got on our nerves because they were just so rude. 'One evening a Spanish guy nearly knocked me flying and he just walked off without even apologising. 'The entertainment in the hotel was all focused and catered for the Spanish - why can't the Spanish go somewhere else for their holidays?'. The TripAdvisor complaint also comes as a British holidaymaker branded her holiday in Corfu a 'nightmare' because there was 'no English food' available on her trip. The pensioner paid £750 for the holiday but blasted the hotel's dining options, insisting 'there was no food we could eat and we couldn't have anything to drink' Susan Edwards set off on a seven-night, all-inclusive holiday to the Lido Corfu Sun Hotel on the Greek island with her family last month but claimed the trip was 'horrendous from the minute we got there'. The 69-year-old paid £750 for the holiday but blasted the hotel's dining options, insisting 'there was no food we could eat and we couldn't have anything to drink'. On the first morning, she could have 'toast, a hard boiled egg or something in sauce. There was no bacon.' The next day's breakfast was 'mozzarella and sliced tomatoes. There was no hot bacon or sausage.' Thankfully, 'we got chips one day' but only 'one day out of the whole lot'. 'There was fish, sardines and rice - I was sick to death of looking at rice,' Ms Edwards, from Westerhope, said. 'There was pasta and salads, none of this was marked. 'One night there was a Greek night and they had kebabs, I couldn't eat that. 'It's the worst holiday I've ever been on.' The drinks on offer at the all-inclusive included wine, lager, ouzo, or brandy as well as soft drinks. Bottled water cost €1.50, Ms Edwards claimed, who was travelling with her cousins, aged 77 and 78, her daughter, 30, and second cousin, 50. But the pensioner does not like ouzo and does not drink brandy - so did not enjoy a single drink on her holiday, she claimed. She explained that she would normally drink bottled lager or one Bacardi and Coke, but this would have cost her €9. 'By the time we paid £750 for the holiday, Euro 70 tourist tax for me and my daughter and an extra £450 for both of our meals, I could have been to the Caribbean on that', the furious tourist said. The Lido Corfu Sun Hotel have said Ms Edwards claims are 'inaccurate, exaggerated, and in many cases entirely false information'.
