Donard Shadow Lodge - Newcastle (Down)

The bed at Donard Shadow Lodge was like sleeping on a cloud. The memory foam pillows provided excellent comfort, although I would have liked the option for standard pillows. The stand-alone bath was very nice and the privacy screen added a thoughtful touch. The hotel itself was beautifully styled and exuded warmth, making me instantly feel at home. The kitchen was well-equipped with every utensil I could need. The location at the foot of the Mournes was perfect, with a short stroll taking me to the center of Newcastle with its selection of restaurants and bars. I had a perfect stay and would highly recommend this hotel.

My partner and I had a wonderful stay at a beautiful log cabin in an excellent location. We loved everything about it, from the stunning views to the cozy interior. the hosts were very accommodating and left us to enjoy our stay, but were always available if we needed them. We were pleasantly surprised by the well-equipped lodge and the thoughtful provisions such as bread, milk, and breakfast cereals. We can't wait to come back and would highly recommend this place to others. Cons: Everything was fantastic! 😄.

The water heater took a few hours to heat up the water tank for a bath, so planning ahead is necessary. For those who plan to spend more time indoors, the lack of live television could make the time feel long.

Perfection at the foot of the Mournes! Everything was just perfect, from start to finish. Luxury at its best! the hosts were amazing and the property was delightful. the location was key, just a short stroll away from the center where there were plenty of restaurants and bars. And the best part? the cabin had everything we needed for a perfect stay. Plus, the bed was the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in!

This property may not be ideal for those planning to spend most of their time indoors. Unfortunately, there was no live television available, which made the time indoors a little long.

The Lodge - well-equipped, cosy, lovely stay, excellent location, easy contact, super clean.

Everything great.
