"What a beautiful country house Hotel. This is set in lovely gardens with a lovely river walk. The room was spacious and had everything we needed. We also had lovely views of the mournes. The staff were exceptional and very attentive. We booked in for dinner on the evening of our stay and it was delicious. The bar area was lovely and cosy. There are lots of spaces throughout to relax. Breakfast the next morning was really well prepared and very tasty. Will definitely be back. Remember this is an old country hotel and it has definitely kept it's character and has not tried to keep up with the modern world. I mean that in the best way!!"
