Charming inn with delicious breakfast
The Rostrevor Inn is perfectly located in the middle of town and near Kilborney Park. We were sad the restaurant was closed the night we were there, but the room (we got the Narnia room!) was very comfortable and the breakfast delicious and filling. The best part was the wonderful friendly bartender who checked us in, though. We loved Rostrevor and would happily stay here again.

We had a great stay at the Rostrevor inn - the breakfast was lovely and the staff were very helpful - it’s beside the park and close to the sea which is all we wanted - hopefully we’ll stay there again sometime.

We have just got home from a 4 day stay at The Rostrevor Inn and had a fantastic time! The villagers of Rostrevor are so welcoming and friendly and the place is simply divine and unspoilt. The Rostrevor Inn was lovely - clean and comfortable with friendly staff who are very attentive. Parking was not an issue as there was always parking on the road outside. We went into Crawfords Bar which had live Irish music being played, although we couldn't stay as there were no free seats which was a shame, but that's Covid for you! As well as breakfast we ate in the restaurant twice and the food was delicious - they have a great chef! We would definitely return and highly recommend this venue.

Beautiful Rostrevor
Our experience was good. Staff were very friendly and very helpful. Unfortunately with lockdown just ended the restaurant was only open for our third night there but the meal that night was excellent. The stairs to our top floor bedroom might be difficult fo some visitors. A particular feature was the proximity of the Fairy Glen and and the beautiful parkland for walkers like ourselves.

Friendly and quiet B&B
Nice, friendly pub B&B. Was given an option for which i wanted as they weren't busy and i pick the top floor as it was quiet and big. Loved the hot shower with good water pressure and slept like a baby. Didn't have a chance to enjoy breakfast as i had to work, but dinner was amazing fresh seafood.

Great hotel for exploring the Mournes!
Great hotel in a lovely location perfect for exploring the local area including The Fairy Glen which was minutes away and great for a lovely stroll. The staff in the hotel, the restaurant and the bar were really friendly and helpful. The food in the restaurant was delicious too and really good value - Thursday night is steak night - perfect! The room (Number 2) was lovely, comfy bed, great size and quiet despite facing the street. Would happily stay again.

Looks can be deceiving!
This hidden gem,in the little town of Rostrevor is a must when you visit the area. The room was ideal for our needs , and Could easily accommodate another child. The jewel in the crown however, is the Bistro! Superb food, in a cosy but vibrant atmosphere. And the breakfast? It was worth the money alone.

We loved this hotel so much. Our room was clean, comfortable and simply decorated with an en suite bathroom. The food was very filling and delicious, lunch was not needed after having breakfast. Dinner was a proper home cooked meal. With lots of variety on the menu. The staff were friendly and helpful to any questions or requests. We will definitely be visiting this hotel again.

The room was quiet and spacious. It had everything we needed. Tea, biscuits, hair dryer, soap and shampoo. Great shower and incredible breakfast. Didn’t get to see much of the town since it was cold and raining but it was convenient to Silent Valley and where our travels took us the next day further north.

Great place in the town
Had a good stay in the Rostrevor Inn. It’s tastefully decorated and has all modern equipment in the rooms from a great shower to a good tv. The restaurant downstairs is a lovely place to eat with a great menu. The breakfast starts at 8am and the menu has loads on it. Yes there is a fry .... but wait there is French toast and a stack of pancakes. The staff are friendly and courteous. It’s just a great place to stay 👍

Pleasant hotel in a lovely village.
Warm welcome and pleasant very airy room. Breakfast was excellent but make sure you book if you want to eat in the evening as it gets busy. Rostrevor is in a lovely setting nr Carlingford Lough and the Mountains of Mourne. Great for walking & biking, some nice places to eat and drink and thee Inn wasa pleasant and welcoming place to stay.

They call this a B&B, but I have stayed in much lesser hotels. Very comfortable and good location for hiking in the Mourne Mountains. Staff friendly, great Irish breakfast, and the Guinness is pretty good as well! On my list for a return visit - the hiking is spectacular.
