The easing of lockdown restrictions has seen the opening of many new local business ventures, particularly new coffee shops.
Some have appeared in mobile trucks, in the gardens of buildings and are taking advantage of popular walking venues.
Slothy Coffee, which opened in July of this year, chose an extremely unique setting for their business venture.
Situated inside Cumber House, a haunted stately home built in 1830 on the grounds of Claudy Country Park, Slothy Coffee have injected new life into the venue.
Fifi Garrett, owner of Slothy Coffee, spoke to MyDerry about this exciting new business.
She said: "I opened Slothy Coffee in July this year, and we are really enjoying delivering first class hospitality and great coffee in the most elegant surroundings.
"Come and enjoy our relaxing setting inside or outside the stunning Cumber House.
"After enjoying your coffee, why not venture into the woods of Cumber Park and playground.
"Lose yourself in daydreams that even Jane Austen would be jealous of!"
Dogs are welcome in the outdoor seating area and are treated to a free puppuccino upon their visit. Ideal for dog walkers making use of the popular walk in Claudy Country Park.
