Well below par.

I booked slieve donard as I wanted to treat my wife to a comfortable weekend as it was our anniversary, and I’ve heard many good things about this property. Unfortunately for us it wasn’t anything like that. The girl at reception was rude as I checked in, I put it down to having a bad day, but she was the same every day. (Our booking was 2 nights) when we went to our room it was nothing like what was on the hotels.com Website. There were broken tiles on the floor, stains on the walls, musty smell. Etc.. So I tried to call reception, but the phone didn’t work. So I went down to reception, and waited quite a while before the receptionist came out from the adjoining room, I told him ( a different receptionist) I wasn’t happy, and was given another room. I could go on and on, but frankly I shouldn’t be doing this . As i rarely complain. I rate it 3 stars, Not worth it.

We had a really lovely one night stay here to celebrate my husband’s 60th birthday. I had emailed the hotel before arrival to let them know of the occasion, and they kindly gave us a room upgrade and left a note and cupcakes in the room. Acknowledgements like this really make a hotel stand out and we were very happy. It was the first time we had stayed since the refurbishment, and all areas of the hotel are beautiful. The room itself was stunning, with views of both of the sea and the Mournes. We are local enough so the sight isn’t uncommon to us, but looking out at it from the hotel room was just spectacular! All the staff are very kind, courteous, friendly and hardworking. We dined in the town but had a couple of cocktails each in the Wolf bar which were very high quality. We appreciate a good cocktail! The breakfast buffet was lovely. Thank you for making this a memorable occasion :-)
