Location & Transportation
Slieve Donard is situated close to Newcastle attractions including
“Here's my take. The place has an interesting vibe, perched right on the beach with a blast-from-the-past feel thanks to its Victorian bones. I think the spa gets it right, and it's hard to argue with golf and mountain views all in one spot. For families wanting some downtime, or golfers needing a base, it ticks the boxes.”

I had a rather mixed experience at this hotel. On one hand, the dining in the Oak restaurant was exceptional, particularly the breakfast. However, there were significant cleanliness issues in the room and common areas, which really detracted from the overall experience. The location offers beautiful views, but despite the lovely setting, the hotel feels dated and in need of a thorough refresh.

The Slieve Donard Hotel has a stunning setting, with breathtaking views and modern amenities that mingle beautifully with its historic charm. While the accommodations are impressive, the food service left much to be desired, making dining a bit of a letdown. The attentive staff, especially at the front desk, contributed positively to the overall experience, while some areas showed moments of inexperience that need addressing. Overall, it's a place with great potential, just requiring some fine-tuning in service consistency.
