Breakfast at Hillyard was superb. Cooked fresh, lovely selection and a lovely buffet table with gorgeous breads, local butter etc. We had the Mrs Coleman fry and omelette, and both were fabulous. Ate in the restaurant on Saturday night and this has gone a bit 'fine dining' which is fine, but not to everyone's taste. The cocktails in Mrs Colemans bar and the entertainment on Saturday night were superb! Lovely hot water and toiletries and Kingsize towels on offer in the bathroom. Superb!
Please update the coat hangers in the rooms. Ours were awful wire hangers. This is the only negative comment I have!

The hotel was so clean and comfortable and staff very friendly
We stayed here because we were attending the Irish open and i paid £678 for 2 nights b&b and when i went to our room they were advertising 1 night b&b for £99.50, while i understand that there's a markup because of the golf but i thought that this price was ridiculous and prior to our stay i had to pay 2weeks before we arrive even thou i had pay on arrival thru booking.com, the hotel told us that they wanted payment because they were extremely busy because of the golf but i have never seen a hotel as quiet in my life, first morning of breakfast it was just me and husband, i could've had a week in the sun for that price but because it was a special birthday present for my husband i paid it but I'm extremely angry about it the more i think of it.

The Mrs Colemans fry was great. The bacon was like slices of gammon. The inside was modern and TARDIS like. There was a heavy use of young staff, which was nice to see.
There is an option to have room service tidy your room, by leaving the little hanger on the outside of the door. We did this on our second day and on return, the bed was made up, new towels placed on the floor, but none removed from the bathroom. The toilet rim was brown and the holder for the brush part full of water. A hoover hadn't been run over the carpets for a while and dust was quite heavy on the ledge above the bed. Our used tea and coffee cups weren't replaced. The room was top of house at the front facing the busy main road. We didn't mind this really. There were heavy curtains over the windows which you couldn't open to let light in until fully dressed as there were no net curtains for privacy. All in all, we needed the break and enjoyed our stay and the staff.

It is very convenient and central in the town. Just at the entrance to the Forest Park. Nice hotel and well maintained. I was in Castlewellen for a funeral and the central location was perfect for me. The ensuite bathroom was nice. The aircon works well, but I did not need it as I had the window open. Even though the window was open the room was quiet and secure. I had delhi belly in the middle of the night, probably from something I ate earlier and the porter was exceptionally kind and helpful at 3am fetching me ice cold filtered water. (By the way my illness was not necessarily hotel related). Unfortunately I cannot comment on Breakfast as I was out of sorts and skipped it.
No Car Parking available. But street parking is Free, so it is not a major issue. The room was small but it was fine for a single occupant at that price point.

The location was fantastic, right beside the forest park and really close to Newcastle and accessing the Mournes. The staff were excellent, we had one especially lovely waitress in the restaurant and a really friendly and helpful receptionist. The bed was comfy and the room had air conditioning and heating options. The shower pressure was great. Food in the restaurant was nice and the breakfast was great!
The standard double room is a bit small and basic. No clothes storage, the mirror wasn’t beside the table, and no bath.

Breakfast until 11am. Friendly staff. Quiet area next to Castlewellan Forest Park, with beautiful walks.
If you don't leave a sign out before 11 am asking for your room to be serviced, then it isn't done! We missed this deadline and our room wasn't serviced. We had to ask reception for new bath towels, hand towels, toilet rolls when we came back to the hotel after a day out... Pity reception hadn't warned us when we booked in. Other than this, everything else is OK.

Very good location. Town well served by public transport and buses just across road from hotel. Taxi to Newcastle takes 10 mins, less than £10. Free parking outside hotel. Reception staff really friendly and helpful Good sized room with plenty of storage for clothes and bags. Bathroom with shower and bath and good sized bed which was very comfortable. Nice restaurant and separate bar area with a lovely mezzanine seating area Good choice of freshly cooked breakfast options alongside cereals etc.

It was very clean and comfortable , there was everything there that was needed. The breakfast in the morning was very good . The staff were all very professional and friendly
I was disappointed with our evening meal it was very over priced we both had steak it tasted nice but was a bit overdone. The chips could have broken our teeth they were so overcooked. We wanted to stay for lunch on the Sunday we would have liked a traditional roast dinner but there wasn't any on offer

The Breakfast was very good. Served by a very polite member of staff. Could not fault. The room was as requested, a back room to allow for a good nights sleep.
There was one chair and a stool in the room. I would suggest losing the stool and adding another chair. I would add coat hooks either on the door or wall. As it was January we had heavy coats and had to leave them on chair hence nowhere to sit.

The location is excellent. Close to the Forest park and on-street parking at the front door! Could hardly be bettered for convenience. Very warm welcome at reception. Absolutely nothing missing from the bedroom. Excellent shower facilities. Evening meal was delicious and dining room staff friendly and obliging.
Like most hotels, there was the constant irritation of 'background' music in the dining room. Breakfast offered an unusually wide choice with Eggs Benedict etc and a friend's omelette looked absolutely delicious, but there was a disappointing choice of cereals and no porridge.
