Top Heron Lough Hotel Reviews

Avoca Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Had a lovely room overlooking the sea. Rooms were warm and quirky and bed very comfortable. The staff were all very friendly which means a lot. And the food was amazing. Would definitely go back."

Haslem Hotel

8/10 Good

"This was a great place to stay in Lisburn and as a base for a long weekend. It is very central and has a car park underneath which you pay for. The hotel is clean and well maintained, although personally I don’t like the exposed pipes and air conditioning systems ( quite common these days - why not hide them behind a ceiling??) The bedroom was large and a lovely big bed, large bathroom, strong shower and nice toiletries. There was a kettle, but no sign of the coffee machine that was supposed to be there. I enquired about it to housekeeping, but got a vague reply. Not an issue though. Breakfast was a buffet at the weekend and very good. It set us up for the day. We had to ask for crockery to be replenished and some items, but the staff was busy. We also ate in the hotel restaurant one night and it was very nice. The staff members in reception and the bar and restaurant were very friendly and helpful and that makes such a good impression. We would definitely stay here again if in the area."

Holiday Inn Express Belfast City by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"A great location for access to the whole city of Belfast, although the area itself is a bit run down. Breakfast was very good"

Leonardo Hotel Belfast

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean and tidy; and a comfortable bed! Would recommend."

Moxy Belfast City

10/10 Excellent

"Très bien situé près de la gare et de l’ hôtel de ville. Personnel attentif et serviable. Chambre de bonne taille avec toutes les commodités"

Slieve Donard

8/10 Good

"The Slieve Donald is a beautiful hotel in a wonderful setting and the staff are amazing. We had a beautiful comfortable room with a great view over the sea and mountains. However there were a few issues with the room. The only mirrors in the bedroom were long narrow ones on the wardrobe doors. There were no electrical sockets near these mirrors. The addition of a mirror close to a socket to use a hairdryer would have been appreciated. The bathroom lighting above the wash hand basin is poor, better lighting and/or a magnifying mirror would be a great addition. Breakfast: buffet with good selection of fruits, youghurts, nuts, cheeses, cold meats etc and porridge is also offered. However the cooked section was very disappointing - good selection but bacon so overcooked my husband couldn’t eat it, eggs and fried bread very poor! You have to make your own toast, white bread only offered and it had to be put it through the toaster three times before it was toasted! I would expect a 5* hotel to offer a freshly cooked breakfast made to order. If they could get these few issues sorted I’d be back again in a heartbeat."

Burrendale Hotel Country Club & Spa

8/10 Good

"Nice facility-friendly and helpful staff. The restaurant was very good. The spa was excellent. Centrally located and an abundance of self parking. The front desk was extremely helpful in finding us another room as the first one didn’t meet our requirements. It obviously is very popular/busy as a consequence it’s looking a little tired and worn. It could use some minor maintenance-eg paint, cleaning the grout in the showers, etc. We would definitely stay at the hotel again."

Enniskeen Country House Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay-a charming older style hotel with lots of character. The property was clean and very well maintained. Beautiful grounds and setting in the hills overlooking Newcastle-yet convenient to most everything. And the staff were super friendly and helpful. The restaurant served wonderful comfort food at a very good value. We will definitely return on a future visit."

The Briers

10/10 Excellent

"Cute home with a great Irish breakfast."
