"My parents stayed for one night, I email the hotel to tell them it was my parents 50th wedding anniversary and if they could do something special for them as a gift, they left a bottle of champagne and a slice of chocolate cake in their room, my parents were delighted with this gesture."

“The Imperial Garvagh, nestled in the heart of Garvagh, struck me as a particularly well-maintained property; the staff's dedication shines through, and the updated rooms offer comfort, although some are on the smaller side. Dining in the restaurant and enjoying a drink at the well-stocked bar rounded out what sounds like a restful experience. It's a place that seems to inspire return visits.”
