Londonderry Arms Hotel
Ballymena, County Antrim

Situated in the small coastal village of Carnlough on the famous Antrim Coast Road. Built in 1848 and once owned by Sir Winston Churchill. The Hotel is now owned and managed by the O'Neill family for the past 50 years. For almost fifty years the Hotel has been owned and personally managed by the O'Neill family who are one of the longest established hotelier families in Ireland. The original Georgian architecture and rooms remain intact. Unusual pieces of carved oak, old style furniture, paintings by Ulster artists, imaginitively sculpted pieces of driftwood and open log fires combine to create an atmosphere of warmth, comfort and relaxation.

There are many delights awaiting the visitor on a trip to the Borough of Ballymena, known as the ‘city of the seven towers’.

The picturesque villages of the Borough are popular with visitors for their magnificent floral displays, Moravian and mining settlements and significant historical interest such as the Motte at Harryville. A marina at Portglenone encourages visitors to use the River Bann for leisure activities.
