Galgorm Collection has announced the start of “a bold new era” for the Limavady hotel, unveiling the first of four £5 million investment programmes in Roe Valley Resort.

In June, the Galgorm Collection will bring its acclaimed Italian restaurant, Fratelli, to the North West for the first time. Designed as a welcoming space for both locals and resort guests, Fratelli will offer a warm, family-friendly atmosphere where children can enjoy making their own pizzas, adding a fun and interactive dining experience. Later this year, in the second-phase investment, Roe Valley Resort will unveil a new bar and adult-only spa, providing a tranquil escape for guests which will be open in time for Christmas.
