“staff were so friendly and welcoming, will be back to use the spa but food was a big let down”
- • Leisure trip

- • Stayed 1 night
the food, I had the breakfast in the morning and it was not very enjoyable. i suppose as the hotel was quiet the food was not being freshly replenished so was quite soggy. also there were no lamps in my room so the only option was the harsh top lights. Lamps would have greatly relaxed the atmosphere the room and made it much more cosy and inviting. there was also a very limited room service option

We did use the spa but only for the pool facilities, the treatments are very expensive compared to most other high end spas we have been too. Also no option for couples treatments.
Stunning location, Room was wonderful and staff went above and beyond. Can’t wait to return

Booked a superior double room. I have stayed in bigger and better standard double rooms in lesser rated hotels at fraction of the price that I paid for this hotel . We had to turn the radiator off because it was making a constant hissing noise when it was on. Sauna was not hot enough and paint is peeling on the ceiling around the pool. Over heard a female staff member griping to a work colleague about another work colleague while I was getting water from the water fountain and her language was appalling. We went for a drink before dinner to Percy French bar. Had to ask barman to change drinks as the beer tasty sour and off (this was a beer that my partner and I drink regularly)and the pints are by no means reasonably priced . Overall we where not impressed with our stay and left disappointed. Myself especially as this was a gift I had bought for my partners 40th birthday.

The hot breakfast was not that warm. Bit dried up.had to wait few minures for couple of items to be topped up. I think when there are set window tables available, you should be offered one. The breakfast manager seemed more determined to place everyone in a row in the centre!
Nice location and Hotel is lovely. The staff on reception and lounge bar were very pleasant.

“Sandwiched between the Sea & the Mountains. Doesn't get much better.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Family with young children

Room was large, yet felt a little short on storage space and could use a nicer sitting area. Bathroom is nice and shower is brilliant. But again needs storage. Somewhere to put things. Need shelves etc. Struggled with Tele, as wasn't sure what we could access.
Location, staff, facilities, family friendly, overall feel of the Hotel. Set at the foot of the mountains, touched by the sea. Town a stones throw away, couldn't be more stunning. We got an upgraded room, which was very spacious. With a Sea view.

“An excellent stay as expected and would happily return.”
- • Leisure trip

When we arrived, we were upgraded to a Resort Room, which sounded good, but then we discovered it was a top floor corner room where the roof/ceiling was angled and wasn't ideal for my tall partner. The shower didn't drain very well and the shower door was off its runner, but these were minor faults and can be fixed.
The breakfast was wonderful; lots of choice for cooked breakfast, continental, cereal or porridge, plus the Slieve Donard characteristic Bushmills whiskey with your porridge! Delicious! Very friendly and professional staff. The Spa was basic but very clean and well catered for, with Sauna, Steam Room, pool, jacuzzi and Changing rooms. Fitness suite and Zen studio (for yoga class) is available. Rooms were comfortable and clean and serviced very well. Free parking was reassuring, and the option of the Percy French on premises was an added bonus - also friendly staff, great food and atmosphere there.
