At Laurel Villa, we hold an impressive collection of local history books, family history journals and copies of 19th. century local Ordnance Survey maps. No other accommodation establishment in N. Ireland has such a wealth of genealogical and historical materials at its disposal. Most importantly, we have the experience to match the information.

If you are searching for your Magherafelt, Derry/Londonderry, Tyrone or Ulster Ancestors and you choose to stay with us we can provide you with much valuable information to help in your search.

Your hosts the Kielt family have lived in the Magherafelt/ South Derry district for countless generations.
