Roe Valley Resort

We decided to treat ourselves to an overnight stay at a nice hotel before a wedding we were attending in the area. We had been ill with covid a month ago and missed our holiday, so this was by way of a pick me up! The hotel has a great reputation, but sadly we can not support this. Our room was ok, bed comfortable - but the swimming pool was less than ok! There were wall to wall children when we went in - and so we immediately left and came back at a later time - not easy as the last swim was 7.30pm! Very early given there were many children there up to 6.30pm. We couldn't find a dry spot in the changing rooms to even stand and given that we had no bathrobes - even though we asked - it was difficult to put clothing back on without it getting soaked! We had a lovely meal in the Coachouse - fabulous! But when we returned to the foyer and bar - some poor guitarist was trying to sing over the top of about 15 children running around shouting! I never did find out if there was a kids event on! I work with kids all the time, I don't dislike them - I have 2 of my own - but there was no allowance for anyone who might like time away from them. We met a young couple who had come away without their kids - only to be faced with dozens of other people's. The pool area is VERY small. We will not be rushing back to the Radisson Roe.

Wildly overpriced tourist 4 star hotel. Country views are nice but there's no "Resort" (hotel's term) virtually at all, unless you golf on their golf course (the "resort"). Extra fees, of course. One walk to take you outside grounds & nothing more in the grounds but golf - no access. General spa / wellness area quite a lot smaller than most tourist 4 stars (which don't bother describing themselves as one of NI's top spa hotels). Changing facilities really run down - honestly can't believe hotel would charge even half its current price. Swimming pool small but OK unless there are 5 or more people using, when it clearly shows itself as the really small facility it is. Sauna OK if sauna is new or unusual to you, otherwise for regular sauna users - it's at 57°c all the time!!! (Should be 78 to 95°c). Spa staff unhelpful. Restaurant good enough but very busy, especially with day visitors from Republic of Ireland. Small, no room, busy staff trying to cope. On plus side, good breakfast; bar drinks & restaurant meals affordable for a 4 star. No ambience in the bar though - like a coridor guests walk through, doesn't open til mid-afternoon even weekends. No bar meals, even snacks - must go to the busy restaurant for any food. Not hotel's fault, but head's up - long distance to the town, nearly hour's walk. Room noisy, bed v uncomfortable. Staff vary - some lovely, some concerning. Would be average 4 star hotel with good views at a *much* lower price. Even so can be noisy.

Was one of the recommended hotels for my nephew's wedding, which wasn't at the property but nearby. Was noisy, room too hot & service was mediocre. Had it been a bargain or even a reasonable price, I probably wouldn't be so harsh. But at over £200 per night, definitely not worth the price. On first night, I thought I'd enjoy the bar & live music. But left after one drink as 30-40 children running rampant all over the place so you couldn't enjoy the music. And I left the bar at 10:45pm with children still running everywhere. Bar area is small so people sit in lobby area as if in an airport departure lounge, so no atmosphere. Got back from my nephew's wedding at midnight on second night & still children running around everywhere. So, unless you are part of a wedding party at the property itself (so don't care about singing & screaming while walking back to your room past other guest rooms at 2am) or have children you want to exhaust with the daytime activities & running around the bar all evening, I would stay away, certainly on weekends.

We were there for a wedding and enjoyed favourable weather. There is a forest close by with lovely walks particularly good after the sumptuous breakfast. Very friendly staff throughout the hotel.

Friendly staff but let down by amenities - no mini fridge in the room, very basic bathroom amenities, very bad lighting in the bedroom, poor room service (tepid steak and sparkling water served in a pint glass....)

All good, it was our wedding anniversary and staff / management went out of their way to make sure we had a pleasant and enjoyable stay - even a suprise card with chocolate 👍

Spacious and clean. Great location. Friendly staff. Some public areas a bit dated

The room (No. 20) appeared to have been recently refurbished, as did the dining area where we ate breakfast, It was a passing through visit as we explored the coast.

Fast check in & amazing staff

Hotel was lovely greeted by reception but no real information given about how to get robes for pool so had to figure it out myself online. The room was clean and spacious with a great view but very cold when we arrived as heating wasn’t on. It did come on not long after arrival but it didn’t really heat up so it was uncomfortable getting changed as it was so cold and even that night the room was very cold even with radiator turned up full. Pool was clean but also a bit cold but enjoyed the jacuzzi. Had dinner in coach house which was really lovely with good service. We did enjoy our stay but could have been better with the really cold room.
