4- and 5-star hotels in Coleraine
This shortlist covers the 4- and 5-star hotels and self-catering stays in Coleraine, from a riverside guest house to cottages on the coast road at Castlerock. It is for couples, families and small groups who want space, a kitchen and free parking.
Staying in Coleraine
Coleraine sits in the north of the island, within easy reach of the Giant's Causeway coast, and the town itself is a practical base with shops and restaurants. The stays on this list are spread out rather than clustered downtown: Crowfield House is on Rhee Lane, Quiet Waters Cottage on Loughan Road, Coleraine Riverside Apartment at Sandelford Court, Causeway Holiday Homes at Cloonavin Green and Shell Hill Mews in the town itself. That spread shapes who each place suits. Couples and small families tend to prefer the self-contained apartments and cottages with kitchens, such as Coleraine Riverside Apartment, Shell Hill Mews and Quiet Waters Cottage. Larger groups and anyone bringing a dog are better served by the houses with gardens and outdoor space, Causeway Holiday Homes and Clonaslee House among them. Castlerock suits a short break by the sea.
