"This property is immaculate, everything was absolutely perfect! The view is breathtaking and there’s plenty of outdoor space to enjoy it from, my son particularly liked the swings, slide and football area we were allowed to make use of! The bed was super comfy and the bathroom is huge, we didn’t use the kitchen much as we were only there for 1 night but it’s very well kitted out with everything you could possibly need! The hosts are brilliant, you won’t meet nicer people and nothing was too...

Top Murlough National Nature Reserve Hotel Reviews

Flagstaff Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Hidden gem! Great staff, bar and food."

Kilmorey Arms Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great breakfast clean room and very helpful staff"

Slieve Donard

10/10 Excellent

"A beautiful historic hostel with an amazing view. Beds very comfortable and the breakfast was excellent. Lovely areas to relax, read a book or enjoy a drink. Spa areas were excellent and not too busy. Would definitely recommend a stay at this beautiful hotel."

Belmont House Hotel

8/10 Good

"Our room ( number 3) was on the small side and our bathroom was tiny with an old fashioned fixed shower. The wash hand basin so small that it was impossible to fill our room kettle directly from the cold tap. I had to fill the kettle from a water glass. The bathroom fan was extremely noisy. There were no curtains on our window just a blind. My cooked breakfast was excellent and service was friendly if somewhat haphazard. Hotel grounds were impressive."

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."

Denvir's of Downpatrick

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed our stay at Denvir's immensely! We enjoyed the location, the food, the local Irish music we heard, and history of the building."

The Briers

10/10 Excellent

"Cute home with a great Irish breakfast."

FFI Center at Annalong

10/10 Excellent

"Very quiet and peaceful. Was nice to walk to dinner and to get some groceries."
