"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

The Fitzwilliam Hotel Belfast

8/10 Good

"Be aware especially if you book on Expedia, this hotel does not offer AC in the rooms. Windows open and there is an oscillating fan in the room. It was cool for our night stay so we were comfortable. My issue is Expedia did not note there was no AC."

"Loved that our really interestingly appointed room overlooked the water and the beach just across the street. Wonderful cocktails and dinner on site. Very helpful and friendly staff."

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."

Mourne Country Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed for 2 nights and couldn’t fault the hotel at all. Holly on the reception on Friday could not have been more helpful. Due to mobility issues she moved us to a ground floor room. We ate at the hotel on Friday night and the meal was exceptional. Breakfast was also excellent with an excellent choice. Will definitely recommend this hotel and will come back in the future."
