The team worked well together but a special shoutout to Kevin who went above and beyond to ensure that we enjoyed our stay. The town of Newcastle is an attractive seaside town but also an excellent starting point to climb Slieve Donard, Northern Ireland's highest mountain, which was the reason for our stay here. I am pleased to say we achieved our objective and rewarded ourselves with large ice cream sundaes from Morelli's wonderful establishment on the seafront. ##### Elizabeth Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Gayle Aug 28, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities Whilst the staff were excellent and the main areas and breakfast were pleasant, the room was disappointing and not as expected based on the website photos. We were shown bright, modern and airy rooms online but we were given a dated and dark one instead. The views outside are of flat roofs with dead plants and a broken aerial. Our bathroom had an avocado green suite with very old fixtures. It was very clean but came across as dingy. We slept well and the beds were comfortable. However, I would not have booked if the online content had been completely honest. It didn't feel like a treat. Tonight we are in a different guest house along the coast in Warrenpoint, at a similar price. It is head and shoulders above the Donard with a balcony and sea view. Sorry, I am just being honest. I feel bad because the staff were lovely. ##### Gayle Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Martin Jul 20, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### One lovely night away. Stayed just for 1 night having stayed the same time last year. Staff were superb, friendly and welcoming, they acknowledged they remembered us! We noticed the small touches like the amenity kit in the room containing toothpaste, razor etc etc - just about anything you'd have forgotten! Lovely big bed, everything felt clean and loved in what's clearly an older property. Breakfast was continental, seems more choice with mini pastries added alongside cereals, breads for toasting, fruit, yoghurt, tea, coffee and a pot brought to our table - it's possible to upgrade to a fry. Only issue we encountered wasn't the hotels fault - lots of noise from cars revving on the road and the pub downstairs - wasn't the easiest to sleep with a front facing room, but once we did we did well! A shout of thanks for calling me promptly to say I'd left my jacket! ##### Martin Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Susan Jun 25, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Easy walk to the seafront & local shops & restaurants Lovely breakfast in spacious dining room.

All the staff were friendly and nothing was too much trouble for them.The beds were great with really good mattresses.The continental breakfast was plentiful and really set us up for our journey home.The rooms are a bit outdated but they are clean and spacious and well worth the money paid. If you didnt bring your car there is a bus station and a taxi service located a short walk from the hotel which can be a real bonus at times.

Only small teeny weeny thing that only effected the male sex! The toilet seat did not stay up when needed, but sorted it with a piece of folded toilet paper jammed to keep it up, so no problem. the staff were brilliant and the continental breakfast was great. Nice quiet bedroom and comfy bed. We'll be back. Many thanks Donard staff. ##### ALAN Stayed 1 night in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Matt Nov 1, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Very friendly and helpful staff! ##### Matt Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Robert Oct 28, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Excellent ##### Robert Stayed 1 night in Oct 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### heather Oct 28, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Friendly staff.
