Haslem Hotel

10/10 Excellent

La Mon Hotel And Country Club

10/10 Excellent

Kilmorey Arms Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great breakfast clean room and very helpful staff"

Banoge House

8/10 Good

"This is a beautiful old home, lots of charm. Room was cozy, bed comfy and warm. Ensuite shower needs to have instructions on how to operate as it took a while to workout. Parking onsite."

Burrendale Hotel Country Club & Spa

8/10 Good

"Nice facility-friendly and helpful staff. The restaurant was very good. The spa was excellent. Centrally located and an abundance of self parking. The front desk was extremely helpful in finding us another room as the first one didn’t meet our requirements. It obviously is very popular/busy as a consequence it’s looking a little tired and worn. It could use some minor maintenance-eg paint, cleaning the grout in the showers, etc. We would definitely stay at the hotel again."

Enniskeen Country House Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay-a charming older style hotel with lots of character. The property was clean and very well maintained. Beautiful grounds and setting in the hills overlooking Newcastle-yet convenient to most everything. And the staff were super friendly and helpful. The restaurant served wonderful comfort food at a very good value. We will definitely return on a future visit."

FFI Center at Annalong

10/10 Excellent

"Very quiet and peaceful. Was nice to walk to dinner and to get some groceries."
