Meelmore Lodge is situated in the heart of the Mourne Mountains, Northern Ireland. With views looking directly onto Slieve Meelmore and The Hare's Gap, and private access onto the Mountains, there is no better place to start your hiking trip from. Our CCTV monitored Car Park will watch over your car while you explore the Mountains.

Or if hiking isn't your thing, why not book one of our private ensuite rooms for a relaxing break away. The Hostel has a fully-fitted self-catering kitchen or if you don't fancy cooking, our on-site Bistro can provide you with breakfast and lunch. We can accommodate up to 28 people in our Hostel and specialise in group bookings with discounts available.
Services
The original farmhouse on site was being used as a self-catering holiday house, looked after by Dessie's wife June. The site had its own private access onto the mountains, which made the holiday house very popular with hillwalkers. The family then decided to build a secure carpark with toilets and showers, and a small coffee shop in the grounds surrounding the holiday house.
At Meelmore Lodge, we can offer you a secure place to park your car while you walk the Mournes. For just 4.00 a day, or 8.00 for overnight, you can park your vehicle in our off-road, CCTV-monitored car park. In response to high demand, in 2021 we build an extra hard-core carpark to the rear of the property.

Amazing place to stary a great hike . Super accommodation , clean bathroom , good coffeshop,
and what the most important, week internet reception (on the camp side) so you can really be offline if you want. This part I love the most.

Great place to start and finish a walk into the Mournes, great food in a clean cafe.
Showers and loo's on site..
Camp site looks great but doesn't allow campervans which is the only reason it loses a star.

Worth it for the views! Was able to travel from here, up the mournes, when arriving back it was lovely to sit outside and just take in the view. Not expensive and well worth a visit!

Wonderful views of the mountains, perfectly located for a gentle or more challenging walk, great options in the cafe and super friendly staff. Also a perfect place to sit with a coffee and a panini to watch others go for a walk. 😀

Brilli campsite. First time here. Was recommended by a friend. Toilets n showers very clean. Lovely and friendly. Dogs allowed. Plenty of families too. You can walk straight onto the trassy track from the campsite Had our breakfast at the cafe and it was delicious. Very reasonable too

From paradise to nightmare.
We arrived on Thursday and the campsite was empty which seemed extraordinary to us. On Friday, more people started to arrive, mainly family, but the atmosphere was reasonably tolerable. Saturday when we returned from the walk we were surrounded by drunken and noisy teenagers. The party lasted until 4am with screaming music and unacceptable behavior. We decided to leave the campsite at 6am under Tecno music. The staff is kindless but should not accept this kind of behaviour. Sorry I won't come back.
