en.Wedoany.com Reported - Northern Ireland hotel group Galgorm Collection has unveiled the latest phase of its multi-million-pound transformation of Roe Valley Resort in Limavady, which will introduce a range of new accommodation, leisure, and family experiences.
Galgorm Collection completed the acquisition of Roe Valley Resort in November 2024 as part of a total investment plan of £50 million. This investment also covers Galgorm Castle Estate, accompanied by a broader multi-million-pound commitment to transform both properties over the coming years.
The new additions include a Helter Skelter slide, an adventure playground, a games arcade, and a new Italian restaurant, Fratelli. Among the new offerings launched this summer, the group introduced Mussenden Lodge, a £1 million standalone accommodation unit. This four-bedroom property, located approximately seven miles from Roe Valley Resort, offers views of Lough Foyle and Binevenagh, accommodates up to eight guests, and features an outdoor hot tub along with complimentary access to the resort's swimming pool, providing a premium and private leisure accommodation option.
A series of new family and leisure experiences will also launch this summer, including a pool slide scheduled to open on June 12. Roe Valley Resort will also open a dedicated two-storey soft play area, as well as a bar and restaurant named The Leaping Hound. The concept for this bar is inspired by local folklore and the "Dog's Leap," from which the name Limavady is derived. The venue will feature weekend live entertainment, aiming to create a vibrant social space for guests, local residents, and visitors. Both the soft play area and The Leaping Hound bar will open on July 3.
These developments mark the latest phase of the broader transformation plan for Roe Valley Resort under Galgorm Collection. The next phase of works will include upgrading the resort's lobby and reception area, scheduled for completion before Christmas 2026, followed by the launch of a new indoor and outdoor adult spa experience in spring 2027. Looking ahead to 2028, the group also plans to introduce new meeting and event spaces to enhance the resort's appeal in both the leisure and corporate markets.
Colin Johnston, CEO of Galgorm Collection, said that since the acquisition, the group has focused on implementing a thoughtful and ambitious transformation plan, building on the existing foundation to bring new experiences to customers. He stated that the investment reflects the group's ongoing commitment to Roe Valley Resort and the entire Northwest region, and its confidence in the area's immense potential, from its natural beauty and cultural heritage to its status as a world-class tourism and golf destination. The transformation plan also forms part of the group's broader investment in the Northwest, including the construction of a new championship-level links golf course in Bellarena, to strengthen the region's position within Northern Ireland's globally renowned golf offering.
Laura McCorry, CEO of Tourism NI, said the tourism body remains committed to supporting the continued growth of tourism in the Northwest, and the sustained investment by Galgorm Collection as a major hotel investor in the region is highly encouraging. She noted that, in addition to the international attention generated by events such as The Open Championship, Northern Ireland's reputation as a premium leisure and golf destination continues to grow, and investments of this scale are crucial to supporting that ambition.
