Enniskeen Country House And - Down

It tells you a lot that the locals love this place. It's a great inn with terrific staff. Every view from our room was like a portrait. Although it sits on a hill away from the sea, the drive time to the water is about three minutes. Keep this on your short list of places to stay! Internet connectivity is dodgy so if you need it for business, keep that in mind!

Old country house hotel a bit dated. We had a problem when we tried to book in which was totally my fault( I had the wrong day) but the good lady sorted us out. Our room was small but we were advised of that in advance but functional. However there was no shower, only a permanent attachment from the bath taps the water pressure was poor. Room decor was a bit dated but was probably in keeping with the house. The bar area was small but had a good selection of drinks. Breakfast was o.k.. Staff seemed to rush around so it did not feel relaxing. Maybe they could slow down a bit. Also the chap came over as soon as we sat down to take our order. Maybe again, give the guest a bit of time to relax. Strange that everything was from the pre-printed menu. It would be nice to stroll over pick your cereal, juices etc and then place your hot food order. Also maybe look at the breakfast times 8- 9.30am seemed tight. Maybe extend it out to 10. Location was excellent a very short drive down to Newcastle.

We spent 5 nights at the Enniskeen Country House. We highly recommend the restaurant (as well as the hotel). Traditional Irish and vegetarian options are proposed, very good service, very quiet place with beautiful views on the Moune Mountains. High tea is recommended as well.

We had the most wonderful lunch this week. The food was delicious and there was plenty of choice. I have to eat a gluten free diet and The Enniskeen was gluten free heaven. In many restaurants I often end up with only one pudding choice and it’s frequently ice cream. Here I had a choice of 5 and the warm orange honey cake was superb. I really appreciate the choice and how well informed the staff were. Lovely people and great quality of food. Thank you

Had breakfast dinner. Great food very efficient service. Extensive menus. Would highly recommend.
