We are thrilled to announce that The Lodge Hotel, a beloved family-owned gem in Coleraine, is now part of the McKeever Hotels family! This exciting acquisition marks a new chapter for The Lodge Hotel, which has been a cornerstone of hospitality on the north coast for 30 years.

Ivor Boyd and Norma Wilkinson, along with their late partner Brian Stockman, have cultivated a legacy of exceptional service and hospitality. Their dedication has established The Lodge Hotel as one of the most successful locally owned hotels in the region. As they retire, we are honoured to continue their tradition of excellence.

Ivor and Norma shared their enthusiasm about the transition:

“We are delighted to confirm that the McKeever family is now the new owner of The Lodge Hotel. We want to thank everyone connected with the hotel over the past 30 years, particularly our great team of staff and our many loyal customers. The McKeever Group has built its reputation on strong ‘family’ values which very much reflect our own. We’re delighted they recognised both the quality of our offering and the clear synergies between our hotels which will ensure The Lodge Hotel becomes a natural extension of the McKeever Group. It’s good to know that the future of our hotel is in the safest hands.”

Eddie McKeever, our Managing Director, echoed their sentiments:

“We’re so pleased to welcome The Lodge to the McKeever family and regard this investment as great news, not just for staff and customers, but for the local community and the hospitality sector as a whole. The links between our hotels are many, not least the strong focus on quality service, professionalism, and customer care. This move is also strategic and totally aligned with our wider growth plans. We look forward to extending the McKeever welcome to the local team and guests in the months ahead.”

This acquisition is not only a testament to our commitment to growth but also to our dedication to maintaining the highest standards of hospitality. We are eager to integrate The Lodge Hotel into our network and continue providing the exceptional experiences our guests have come to expect.

Stay tuned for more updates as we embark on this exciting journey together. Welcome to the McKeever Hotels family, The Lodge Hotel!
