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.”

fine views sunday lunch amazing food dark ceiling bedroom lighting hall ferns
the location offered fine views. the sunday lunch was amazing. the food was first class it could not have been better.
the new bedroom decor included a dark ceiling i think this made the bedroom very dark. the lighting in the room required additional reading lights by the bed. i am not a fan of the ferns in the main hall.
