Hotel Dekat Black Lough

"Myself and my partner only stayed for one night. The cabin was very clean and cosy with everything we needed for our short break. The bed was very comfortable and the shower was excellent, things that not all places we have stayed get right. We used it as a stop off on our trip to photograph the mountains and surrounding areas, this was the perfect stop off for what we wanted. Thank you for the stay, it made our break, we will definitely be booking again."

"A truly wonderful find! Quiet, convenient, clean well appointed cottage, with attentive, friendly hosts. Good parking, near enough (by car) to the Mourne Mountains, Murlough, Tyrella and Ballykinler beaches and Newcastle. About a 45 min drive from Belfast. A great haven for peaceful outdoor pursuits or just getting away from it all. Will happily stay again! "

"Great historical property. Staff were lovely. Breakfast great. Nice touch having a record player in the room 🙂"

"Room is fine, basic self-serve continental breakfast. Not as nice as many B&Bs in this price range we have stayed in. I suspect that ownership has changed since many of the glowing reviews were written."

"What a wonderful place! Val and Ken were so kind and made us feel right at home. We will definitely plan to stay again when we travel back to Ireland."

"Friendly staff, very helpful and courteous 😊"

"Staff were beyond friendly and accommodating. A little noisy when the pubs let as it’s on the Main Street, but great location."

"To start with positives, the Staff were excellent, helpful & friendly. I have a walking stick and on checking in the Lady at reception insisted in carrying our bag to the room. Everywhere was very clean. We ate in the hotel both nights. The food was excellent, as was breakfast. However the room was very disappointing. Very small & cramped and the lighting very poor. I could barely see to shave in the en-suite. Despite the good breakfast (evening meals not included obviously) the price charged...

"From our arrival staff were welcoming and could not be more accommodating. The grounds are immaculately kept and the walking path is beautiful. It was a perfect calm ending to our hectic travel through beautiful Ireland. "

"Was actually supposed to be staying else where as was overbooked. Was offered to stay here. Lovely room with balcony view was looking out at the mountains. Food was lovely, prices for food & drink very reasonable. Breakfast lovely 🙂"

"The hosts were very accommodating and tried to make it special with Christmas decorations. Cleanliness could be improved on floors and showers. "

"I would 1000% go back again! The bathroom was super clean and the rooms were so nice and well decorated!"

"Driftwood provides the home from home feeling and is situated in a perfect setting . You have a coastal walk of Strangford Lough, an amazing Castle, all the village amenities and great pubs, with the Dufferin Arms providing that that fantastic Irish atmosphere and experience (stones throw from Driftwood. The owners of Driftwood could not do enough to make you feel welcome and were on hand to any questions. Massive thank you to Jo. Exceptional value and highly recommended. "
