The history, cosy atmosphere, friendly and helpful staff; all combined to impress me from check-in to check-out.
I slept soundly in a large comfortable bed and in the morning they served me a choice of a big vegetarian or meat-lover’s breakfast.
Simply superb!
Well done to the team at Kilmorey Arms Hotel ! My Mood Compass will no doubt draw me back there again soon.

Staff were lovely, room was nice and clean, and the food was gorgeous. Location is ideal for quiet and scenic walks in the park, woods, seaside, and mountains. A peaceful base for exploring the local landscape. Highlight was listening to gurgling of the nearby river through the window while falling asleep.

First post covid proper holiday in Newcastle, Co. Down.
Fantastic location and hotel perfect for family with three year old. Acre of grounds for three year old to play, with family toys from owners too.
Darryl and Diane were very friendly. Room had a door to the outside and a view of Slieve Donard.
Next to Tollymore Park, a 5 min drive from town centre, but great location for bit of peace and space before heading out to the mountains or to the promenade. Will be back for sure.

A truly pleasant and comfortable home! The room was very nice and the surrounding area spectacular but the highlight was definitely the owners, Fiona and Perry who made me feel genuinely welcome. Quiet, relaxing, and highly recommended. And the breakfast was top notch.

We love to stay in Canal Court Hotel as it ticks all the boxes for us, we can park our car and walk across the road and get a bus to Belfast. Newry is a very lovely area to walk around if we want to stay local there are some great shops in walking distance of the hotel. We love a room looking onto the Canal as it can be fun watching the wildlife. The rooms are spacious and very comfortable and have most items you could possible need. Staff are friendly and very helpful, and the food is very...
