When one of my best friends told me he was going to get married in a castle in Ireland, I was…read moreimmediately pumped for the trip. And Bellingham Castle was the chosen venue and boy it exceeded all expectations. I even got to stay here for one night and they had such a pleasant hospitality. We ended up getting the "Kevin" room, which had a balcony view of the garden and patches of greenery that stretched as far as the eye could see. The place was really peaceful and my New York State of mind was completely gone, although temporarily. I really felt like a little kid when I went on to explore the different rooms in the castle. The furnishings and designs are things you would expect to see in films. My favorite rooms were probably the Bottlery (wine room) and The Buttery (the kitchen). Their castle dog, Ri, was super adorable and roamed around as if he owns the place. Some castles can feel intimidating but this place felt very intimate and homey. If only I could live there forever....

The hotel was nice with plenty of space, beautiful grounds and friendly staff. Friends and I got…read morethe feeling that this hotel caters to an older crowd. And events at the hotel can be loud when you're looking for some peace and quiet in Dundalk. Breakfast was included with our room but it wasn't very impressive - some fried eggs gone cold on a buffet, limited healthy choices otherwise. Unfortunately, I had some bad luck when it came to my stay. When my plug adapter went missing, the hotel provided one. However, it didn't work. By the time I figured that out, it was too late at night to roll down to reception for another one so I just made do. A wedding at the event space meant that drunk partygoers were roaming the hotel grounds, singing and yelling, until the wee hours of the morning. Although I had booked a non-smoking room, and although I was thrilled that the window and balcony door could be opened to let in fresh air, my neighbor decided to smoke on his balcony (continuously) until 3 am. In a desperate attempt for sleep, I called the front desk. Once, the call rang without answer. And on the second try, they hung up on me. Great service and help, guys. I probably wouldn't stay here again.

Beautiful property, impeccably clean. Bed and breakfast on a larger scale. Spacious rooms full of…read morenatural light recently redone and quite modern. The bathroom alone is larger than most rooms-particularly my last room in the UK. The gym was decently equipped and there is a wonderful heated indoor pool, with a jacuzzi and sauna. It would be nice if there were access to sound on the TV in the gym. I arrived after 11:00 pm and the front desk was there and ready to check me in. It only took a few minutes. I passed by a very lively bar area that goes until midnight I'm told. About to try the food. Breakfast was buffet style but everything replenished regularly and very fresh and delicious. Freshly fried eggs available how you like them. I have to mention that with all the positives, a couple of caveats. There is a golf course and working farms in the area. I was awakened each morning quite early by noises from surrounding properties. Lastly, I had the Di Not Disturb sign in my door but housekeeping went in anyway. I was told that calls to the room were made, a manager was notified and a supervisor accompanied the cleaning person. I was told this was policy. So, lesson learned. Let the hotel know in advance that you will not want room to be serviced.

Sure, you need good vision to see the sea, but it's there! We stayed 3 nights and added breakfast. Our check in was late, (thanks to a navigation re-route after a long day out), tho flawless. We were presenting a drink amenity and advised the bar was still open... nice touch. Our aromatherapy spray wasn't in the room. Not a huge deal, but I didn't bring any with me, since the room included it and we really liked the provided one on our last stay. The room was clean, well-appointed and spacious. Breakfast was plentiful. The croissants alone were worth the additional cost. I could have eaten them all day, every day. There is cereal, fruit, eggs, black & white pudding, ham (bacon), deli meats and cheeses, assorted breads & pastries, a gluten-free station and... did I mention the croissants? Check-out was painless. We owed a small additional amount for taxes. The gent working the desk called up to make sure we got breakfast pre-departure, when he found out we hadn't yet eaten and were flying out. On his insistence, we went up for breakfast before going to the airport. I owe him one. We would not have had time to eat. The lines were crazy. Those small touches make a huge difference and will keep us coming back. Another great stay.

The front desk manager went out of his way to make me a cup of coffee one morning as it was early and breakfast wasn't starting for a few hours. The restaurant on the 13th floor is a great breakfast venue and again the staff are very helpful- making a mocha or Americano or providing extra pancakes for my 8 year old. Rooms are big and clean and the showers are great. Anything I needed was attended to without delay. Well done and I will plan on staying here again on my next trip to Dundalk

We literally haven't been in this place for 30 years as we had no reason to go…read more Saturday past 27 August 2022 we were very close by and as it was lunch time we thought why not. There's lots of parking around and a very pleasant Costa coffee bar sharing the same space. On hotel entry we found it bright, clean and airy with mostly young serving staff. Service is courteous but a bit haphazard; a tad of training from good management would help here. We saw outside seating contained within a walled area off the main inside dining area probably designed more for smokers and a necessity for Wu flu. We opted to sit in warm sun as we don't often get warm sun in these parts and as importantly there were no smokers (who can be selfish to smoke while others eat around them.) Four of us dined with three opting for the Fairways club poached chicken fillet, crisp streaky bacon, lettuce, tomato on toasted sourdough with fries and fixings including ketchup, factory made mayo with fresh garlic added, that improved taste, and French mustard. Imagine not having Colman's English mustard. The club & fries was €14. I opted for the seafood chowder (€11). It came with one thin piece of soda bread - the bread portion and the quality disappointed. The chowder was good but while Fitzpatricks pub chowder is an extra euro it's way way far better and shell less. I asked for white pepper to be told they didn't have any. What I found most bothersome about the chowder was that mussels within were still in shells so I had to use my hands to negotiate the meat out, leaving me with fishy fingers; pieces of salmon had skin on too. Crispy salmon skin can be tasty, but soggy limp skin is repulsive. While skin and shell help make great stock they shouldn't be in the served dish. If the chef insists on skin and shell then provide a water bowl, hand towel and suitable cutlery. All in all it's a good 3 star but could easily hit at least 4 star. I mean no white pepper, no English mustard, hard shells and soggy skin in soup, no. We went across the way to Costa for coffees.

What a great place. It's cosy and serves up good food and great beer. We had walked by this place…read morequite a few times as it's right beside the sea, along a favourite walking spot with a perfect view of the Mourne mountains, Warrenpoint and the peninsula and Carlingford bay, but never ventured in until now. We had been invited to a wedding and this was the reception venue. The venue couldn't physically cater for a big wedding. This one was around 100 guests and it was a tad cramped. The stage is small too. The meal was excellent, fish starter, perfectly cooked tasty meats for main and a scrummy trio of desserts. For the most part Irish restaurants deliver excellent fish and meat. The country is a giant natural larder and the cold Atlantic provides everything from crab and oysters to salmon and turbot, with a mostly soft damp climate with few temperature extremes. It has to be one of the best natural food rearing, growing climates on earth. Where restaurants did disappoint was usually the vegetables which were either cooked until they disintegrated or they were not properly cooked at all. The former was more typical. This place got it right. All the vegetables were perfectly cooked. It's also a fact or at least it's how I find it now that the places that murder great veg by overcooking are diminishing. In terms of rating it's probably a one star, there's no swimming pool, no jacuzzi or steam baths. Just a basic ten room old hotel with oodles of parking. It's not bad enough to need redecorated but it's not at all modern if you get my drift. I wouldn't change it as it's period, characterful and lots of real wood and old comfy chairs. The best thing about it is the friendliness of the staff. Like so many places now, the welcome and the service is genuinely warm and has that beguiling Irish charm. Now TH's we've been once, and liked it, we'll be back to try the al a carte. One real bummer though, the coffee is crap and like the over cooked vegetables of old Ireland it's just not acceptable to serve up this awful powdered crap any more. Oh and finally there's free wifi.

There was some loose flooring right when you walk up the stairs to the first floor. Customer service was decent, but not amazing. A maid opened our door at 9am in the morning and did not knock- she immediately mumbled sorry and left. Eloise who worked at the front desk answered any questions we had during her shift, but wasn't especially friendly (it seemed liked we annoyed her). The massage therapist as the spa was nice and professional (I think her name was Emma?). Early in the morning we met Tim and we have to say meeting him was the best part of our stay here. He was very friendly and sincere. He even grabbed a Diet Coke for us because the kitchen was not yet open. He gave us great pointers for our trip ( places to go and the best routes to get there) and even showed us the map in one of their hallways to show us where we would be traveling to next! The food was great. The dinner menu has a great selection and the food we ordered was very good. Breakfast was also quite good with a decent selection to choose from. I mainly gave this place a 4 versus a 3 because of our encounter with Tim and because of the food.

This was all following Storm Éowyn. To clarify, my partner's children would all be neurospicy like her and myself (she's Autistic and I've got cPTSD and ADHD). Her eldest son is Autistic and would be slightly more profound than the rest of us. I initially had a poor interaction with a girl in the restaurant. She was incredibly rude for no reason. Following that, I approached the reception to give feedback on their staff and politely complain. Before I could even explain anything, an overbearing voice from beside me started asserting that the hotel staff were all doing their best etc. I explained that none of that was really what was in question. I wanted to tell them that I'd had a very rude experience. This offensive gentleman got right up in my face in an extremely threatening manner. I was extremely surprised to discover the gentleman was nom other than the MD of the hotel. His completely casual attire and overall manner, should have given a clear indicator of the unprofessional approach I would experience. What resulted was an initial exchange between Fank and I, followed by an exchange between Frank and my partner. The contents of which were Frank detailing how Autistic children should be put in care and he would ring Tulsa about her child. When the hotel MD said this we left immediately. Unfortunately, this took us about thirty minutes as my partner's son had an autistic meltdown over the incident.
