perfectly situated for park exploration and local flavors

the central position made it easy to visit the stunning peace maze just over a kilometer away, and a few steps led me to great local cafes that enhanced my stay with their cozy atmospheres.

Great value and friendly staff, but Wi-Fi was slow during my stay.

A Cozy Stay with Some Room for Improvement

We enjoyed our family stay, especially the tasteful decor and comfortable family room. The indoor bar offered creative cocktails, making for a delightful evening. I advise confirming your room’s temperature settings beforehand and opting for a breakfast alternative nearby to ensure a well-rounded experience.

The cozy bar had a chill vibe with local craft beers and quirky decor. The proximity to the Forest Park was fantastic for outdoor adventures.

a cozy retreat that feels like home thanks to exceptional staff, and the amazing breakfast menu is a must-try!

Warm atmosphere, friendly staff.

I absolutely loved the delicious locally sourced meals and the cozy room with a huge bathroom. The bonus of a wonderful picnic hamper for our day out!

hillyard house is a lovely hotel with a nice bar and restaurant. the room was spotless, and the location is perfect. the staff here are exceptional. they let us check in early, and they quickly moved us to a quieter room when we needed it. we enjoyed a fantastic breakfast and a lovely dinner during our stay.

do recommend

I truly enjoyed my stay at Hillyard House. The spacious family room provided comfort, and the moment we stepped in, the welcoming atmosphere made us feel right at home. the check-in took longer than expected.

central stay near beautiful forest park and charming lake

I stayed here for three nights and truly appreciated the walkable proximity to castlewellan forest park, which was just at my doorstep, and the lovely castlewellan lake, a pleasant stroll away, making my city explorations delightful and easy. the room was comfortable and clean, perfect for my weekend adventures.

The decor throughout is clearly put together with style, infusing warmth into the space. The proximity to the forest park offers an accessible outdoor escape to explore nature.

Check-in was a hassle. arriving early didn’t help as the room wasn’t ready until past the scheduled time. The air conditioning unit outside the window made for a noisy night, coupled with the heating that refused to properly turn off, leaving us in a sauna. Breakfast was far from enticing, with an avocado toast resembling slick guacamole and pancakes served raw. On top of that, finding room keys carelessly left on the windowsill seemed unprofessional, reflecting a lack of attention to detail in other areas.

The beautifully decorated interiors provided a warm atmosphere, making me feel right at home. It was impressive how accessible the common areas were, ensuring that I could navigate easily without any hassle during my stay.

A shaded outdoor space would be lovely.

Hillyard House Hotel has beautifully decorated, warm interiors that create a welcoming atmosphere. The accessibility features were commendable, ensuring that I could comfortably navigate the hotel while enjoying its delightful decor and inviting common areas.

A shaded outdoor space for relaxation would be lovely.

The local eats were a delight! Mulberry Tree Restaurant had some top-notch grub, and the breakfast served was absolutely stunning. The family room was spacious and gave us room to move and enjoy our stay.

Absolutely loved the breakfast options, especially the freshly cooked choices! The restaurant's ambiance was perfect, and the 'Drunken Bailey' cocktail was a highlight of my stay.
