- Location next to the Royal County Down golf course
Once the ‘end of line’ luxury holiday destination for the Belfast and County Down Railway, Slieve Donard first opened in 1898 and was considered one of the most forward thinking destinations of its time, being almost completely self sufficient, with its own bakery, vegetable gardens, pigs, laundry, and power plant. Today it has 178 bedrooms, and the Royal County Down golf course is right on its doorstep.
In true hospitable style, the hotel covers all bases when it comes to food, from sophisticated fine dining in the Oak Restaurant, to the more relaxed atmosphere of the Lighthouse Lounge which serves healthy fare such as smoothies, salads, and sandwiches. Alternatively, the resort is also home to the Percy French Inn at the foot of the Mourne Mountains, which is ideal for enjoying a pint by the fire.

I am reviewing for my treatment which was hot stone massage. I had difficulty understanding the male therapist. The treatment was barely the 25 mins. Hot stones only used twice. The receptionist told us our treatments were 5.30pm despite me querying that it was booked for 5pm. The therapists had to come looking for us. The spa itself & setting for afternoon tea was beautiful although the food was just okay. I would not consider the indulgent afternoon tea & spa experience goid value for money compared to other venues in the area. My daughter enjoyed the mini facial but not the afternoon tea. This was her birthday treat.
Decor & ambience luxurious. Unfortunately staff at spa were confused over who was having what treatment?
The hand washing & hair drying facilities are inadequate for more than 2 people at once!
Afternoon tea, food & service and music was enjoyable but unfortunately china cups had stains inside cup and had to be replaced!
