"Such a change from the 90's! This relatively unkown town in Northern Ireland has more to offer than first assumptions would have you believe! The variety of shops has sky rocketed in recent years and with the new Diamond Centre it has got to be in close competition with the likes of Ballymena and Belfast.
The new Translink train and bus station is completely up to date and even futuristic and offers great links to smaller towns and villages, making Coleraine easily accessable to all.
The Lodge Hotel has undergone renovations and is more than comfortable as well as relatively cheap for visitors and only a ten minute walk from the Town centre. Coleraine is therefore a great base when holidaying in Northern Ireland."
