The Briers

10/10 Excellent

"A fabulous B&B with friendly staff, a comfortable room and a spectacular view of the Mournes. The continental breakfast was far more than we expected and set us up for a day of hiking perfectly. Ideally located for Newcastle and the Mournes we’ll be back again. We had accidentally booked one night instead of two as well, but the team managed to accommodate us for the extra night."

Dundrum Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Great spot, old school pub decor, room was spacious for a family of four. Pub located downstairs served beautiful food. Nice beer garden out the back to relax with a drink. Breakfast in the morning was also really nice. Staff- friendly and very helpful. Would recommend 👍"

La Mon Hotel And Country Club

10/10 Excellent

"Had a fantastic stay at La Mon Hotel. The only negative was the lack of clarity on breakfast times. The time we were told for breakfast differed from the time we were told on booking in. We were lucky to get breakfast as we were just in time, but we saw others being turned away. Otherwise staff were fantastic, service excellent, clean and comfortable!"
