Recent Reviews in Castledawson

Rosspark Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel. Dinner was really nice. Breakfast well presented and very tasty. Excellent staff attitude"

Dunadry Hotel and Gardens

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent room and great food and breakfast"

Keef Halla Country House

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed at 7 different places while we were in the UK and Ireland...Keef Halla was my favorite! Charles, Siobhan, and their staff were so kind and very helpful. The rooms were super clean and the bathrooms were spacious. Breakfast was delicious. If we ever have the chance to go back...this would be my first choice to stay again."

Galgorm

10/10 Excellent

"I have stayed here several times and love the hotel"

Dunsilly Hotel

8/10 Good

"We have used this hotel a few times and returned as we enjoyed our previous stays. Breakfast was good. Has the evening menu been reduced, there appeared to be less variety of choices. That said what we had was good. See you 2027"

The River Bann Retreat

8/10 Good

"Nice place. Miss the personal welcome, it makes a difference. We received a blank check-in email and had no one to help or even a number to call. Thankfully they responded quickly to the email help request so we received our full check in details without too much delay. Some cleaning issues eg mould in shower. Poor quality gowns, bleach stains on them and no gown belts, poor quality towels. Both things fairly tatty. We booked for 2 adults and two children - the apartment was only set up for 2 in the double bed. Sofa bed bedding left on the floor. They provided only 3 towels, and not enough shower gel. Hot tub was lovely, too hot initially so we waited to cool it, then it was cut off at midnight - really disappointing as we had had to wait for it to cool then got about 10 minutes in it!! Thought the open fire was great, but nothing to light the fire had been provided and there was not enough firewood. Overall it’s a good spot, good location and great potential but definitely improvements needed. Wouldn’t categorize it as luxury glamping due to the points highlighted."

Glenavon House Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful hotel, food excellent, room spotless"

Holiday Inn Express Antrim by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Really nice hotel and amazing staff. The one thing I would say is that it’s not very well connected, the train station is around a 25-30 minute walk from the hotel and the train to Belfast are every hour (10 past every hour) so it’s a little bit of a pain to get anywhere. However can’t fault the staff or the hotel. It’s located near lots of a good food places and a supermarket on the door step"

Ardtara Country House

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was perfect, the staff were so pleasant and helpful. Especially Sean, Great vib in the hotel."
