Beautiful hotel and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was very good with alot of choice. I would have given 5 stars but we had to ask for essential toiletries ,extra robe and unfortunately there was no acknowledgement of a big birthday celebration ! All in all a lovely couple of nights with family in a beautiful hotel with spectacular scenery by the sea.

Love this hotel

Amazing stay as always. Welcoming reception staff on arrival. Wished our son a happy birthday. Clean room and nice touch having bathrobes for all the family. Spa facilities great and very clean. We had free cupcakes delivered to the room for my son’s birthday which was a nice touch. Good selection of food at breakfast. We will definitely be back.

Great stay in Newcastle. Staff was very friendly and it’s a fantastic location. We were in N.I. mostly for golf, which Newcastle offers a great location if you have a rental. All of the courses we played were within a 90 minute drive. For the price there could have been more to offer from the hotel. Breakfast was mediocre. The room was awesome, however, I thought I “upgraded” from a King Sea View to a Suite with a Sea view. Ended up paying more for no sea view. Putting green is just thin turf. The spa and its facilities were great! But, you only have access to the spa facilities the day of your “treatment.” The bar on site is very nice with a solid selection of cocktails and beer. Another downside is the lack of food after 10 pm. It’s either a pizza or cold sandwiches for the 24 hour room service. Overall, felt like an awesome place, just lacking in some areas where you don’t feel like you’re getting what you’re paying for.
