Castledawson Vacations from $1,547

Despite photo of nice looking hallway, actually an old, run down, grotty place, no signs to bathrooms, only shared bathrooms, no TV or desk in room. Fine as reasonably cheap digs, but not cheap enough.

Roe Valley as it is now is 5 star for families and golfers. Spacious rooms, attentive staff & plenty of activities to keep youngsters occupied rain or shine. But it’s not a Spa Resort for couples just yet - although with the amount of investment and upgrading going on as part of its refurbishments I’m confident it’s going to be amazing for everyone to rival its partner hotel the Galgorm. That said, we had 4 wonderful days there exploring the Causeway coast for which it’s perfectly situated, and the Fratellis evening meals were delicious and good value. The breakfast was off the scale amazing so other than some adult only spaces & a rethink of the bedroom storage space we can’t fault our stay here.

We had a great stay at the City Hotel. The staff were the best thing about it. So friendly and welcoming. Room was lovely and spacious. We had a newly refurbed room. Breakfast was great. We went to the pool and were a little disappointed that there was no shampoo or conditioner etc im the showers in the pool. Pool changing was also quite cold. All in all a great stay was had and I’d highly recommend. Hotel is under refurbishment so things a bit weird in terms of layout but no issues at all for us.

This is a super nice hotel. Conveniently located. Large rooms. Heated towel rack. Lots of amenities. Would stay here again and again.
