I booked a one night stay with dinner and breakfast for my boyfriend's 22nd birthday. From the moment we arrived, it was bliss. We made full use of the spa facilities at 12, which is a great way to pass the time until check in at 3. The shampoo/conditioner facilities are fantastic luxury products and the towels are soft. I...

My daughter's wedding was held here, ceremony, reception and party after. All was conducted with efficiency and expertise by the staff, and special mention to Chris, who organised everything superbly. The event was held in the Chandelier Room, which has huge bay windows with views of the mountains. The photographs outside had the beach and the sea and the mountains... More

I recently stayed in this hotel and I have to say it was one of the best hotels I have ever stayed in. Location, staff, food all excellent. A thoroughly enjoyable experience. Need I say more. Needless to say I will be back.

My wife and I stayed here one night during our trip so that I could play Royal County Down (#5 Course in the World and deserving so). The hotel is very beautiful, with nice big rooms, and a very Victorian feel. My wife used the Spa while I played golf and loved it. It took my 30 seconds to walk... More

Since last visit in 2010 much of the public areas including the bar have been decorated - the horrible carpet has gone and it all looks much better than before. The bar is fine - the atmosphere is still somewhat stilted. Additionally, some sort of irritating deal has obviously been struck with the drinks companies, so that various beers such... More

Down, but with modern facilities, good food and outstanding customer service. The staff are very well trained, both in the restaurant and at reception... More
