The Upper Room is conveniently located in the centre of the town near the Tower Centre shopping centre, home to an array of high street brands, and the Mid-Antrim Museum which displays the area’s history; you could also meander through People’s Park and Eco Park or walk alongside the Braid River.

The town was established in the 17th century, and it has maintained its tradition of holding weekly Saturday markets, which attract a wide variety of merchants from the surrounding area. It is also home to the Mid-Antrim Museum, which features a theatre with seating for four hundred visitors in a modern glass structure.

    It was a great idea cause everything was shut down and was able to visit some friends in the process. The accommodation is by far one of my favorite spots and to top it off the massage chair was my best friend that week. The owner is lovely and has done a fantastic jobs decorating the space. Thanks again!
