Top Ballyward Lake Hotel Reviews

Arthurs

10/10 Excellent

"We would highly recommend this accomodation to stay in. Five star all the way. All staff were very helpful and the breakfast and attention second to none."

The Fitzwilliam Hotel Belfast

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful location and staff. Terrific concierge"

Haslem Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel is good. We stayed in an apartment, the space was big, We found some parts like the bathroom dirt and with mold. The staff are really nice. The breakfast is ok I just missed more fruits"

Marine & Lawn Slieve Donard

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at the weekend at Slieve Donard Hotel for my Mum's birthday. We haven't been for a few years, and it was so lovely to be back. We booked dinner at Villa Vinci in the town and oh my - it was amazing! The staff were wonderful and the room was fantastic. One thing to note, however, is that seating in the spa is extremely limited, and it was completely full on our first day, and the jacuzzi was much the same. We returned on Monday morning at 8 am and managed to get 2 seats, but we were just lucky. It really doesn't have enough seating for a hotel of this size. The views definitely help make up for the lack of seating, though!"

Killeavy Castle Estate

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful stay! My husband and I were here celebrating our belated honeymoon and 1 year anniversary, and everything about this place exceeded our expectations. The staff was kind and helpful from the moment we checked in. The food, much of which is sourced from their own farm, was delightful. The grounds are immaculate! We thoroughly enjoyed walking the gardens and hiking through the hillside. The spa is top notch and I highly recommend purchasing one of the spa packages. It was a truly magical stay and an experience we will never forget."

Kilmorey Arms Hotel

8/10 Good

"Really recommend kilmorey arms staff so helpful . This is the second time I have stayed here and my room this time was even better than last time. It was lovely to see a big walk in shower. Breakfast was really nice and very attentive staff."

Avoca Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"As soon as we walked through the door, we knew we made the right choice. The restaurant/bar area was beautiful and cozy. The hotel staff was welcoming. Our room was nicely decorated, and the bay window view of the sea was gorgeous. I will stay at the Avoca any time that I return to Newcastle."

Dundrum Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Outstanding"

The Briers

10/10 Excellent

"We have stayed before and we'll definitely be back. Such a lovely peaceful place, perfect for quiet getaways and close enough to Newcastle for the more active."
