    hotel location
    outdated bathrooms
    missing amenities

    great location beside Slieve Donard, large family room arrangement, well-furnished interiors

    The bathrooms are outdated, lacking modern aesthetics!!! The absence of a bar or restaurant is surprising for such a size, making evenings feel quite dull!!!

    Nice cozy stay with good staff

    We stayed for a night and it was a solid choice. The room was comfy and spacious. We got a nice sea view! The staff were super friendly, especially the breakfast crew—they really made the morning for us! Just wished the dinner menu lived up to the hype. some dishes were not worth the price. definitely a decent stop!

    great dining

    excellent access to beaches and delightful dining options nearby

    I found the staff to be incredibly friendly and welcoming, and with the perfect distance of just 500 meters to Newcastle Beach, it was easy to take long strolls along the shore. I loved having so many great dining options like the Copper Restaurant just a few steps away, making every meal an adventure and conversation starter.

    Consider requesting a room away from the street if you're a light sleeper, as noise from outside can be disruptive.

    Amazing Stay with Exceptional Staff

    My partner and I loved our stay! The staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive, ensuring we had everything we needed, including a cozy setup for our dog. The room was spacious and spotless, and the breakfast featured a delightful range of options, from fresh pastries to hearty fare. If I could suggest anything, it would be to have more convenient parking options available.

    fantastic staff

    Couple's great escape

    Had a great stay, the staff were fantastic, especially this one guy, I think his name was Kevin? He gave us parking tips that saved us a lot of hassle and even posted my earphones back when I left them in the room, talk about going the extra mile. the breakfast was just what we needed to kickstart the day -- fresh fruit, pastries, you name it.

    It wasn’t exactly economical, but you know what? Worth it.

    Friendly staff and cozy atmosphere

    I had a fantastic stay for two nights in a comfortable Double or Twin Room. The staff were exceptionally friendly and provided great local tips, while the room was not only spacious but also spotlessly clean. The continental breakfast offered a delightful variety, including fresh pastries and strong coffee, making it a great start to the day. it would be nice to see more diverse breakfast options to cater to different dietary needs.

    dated decor

    The room was cozy and nicely decorated. It was well-sized and had a beautiful sea view, which was a lovely surprise. The bed was pretty comfy, but there was some noise from outside that was a bit distracting. a decent spot for a night's stay but a few little things could be better.
