Enniskeen Country House Hotel
Enniskeen Country House Hotel is a mountainside hideaway; this family-run hotel rests in the lush Shimna Valley just outside Newcastle, Co. Down. Here you can explore the hotel's stunning 12-acre estate and winding woodland trail down to the Shimna River, enjoy the striking views over Northern Ireland's highest mountain Slieve Donard and the Irish Sea, or spot wildlife roaming the gardens.

Warm smiles welcome you and cosy open fires crackle as you relax in peace and quiet during the cooler months, while you can savour the Enniskeen's 'old world charm' as you let the world go by from the terrace in the summer months. Treat yourself to the Enniskeen's signature Mourne Honey Afternoon Tea, enjoy delicious meals made from fresh local produce and fine wines, all served with an attentive personal service.

Traditional afternoon tea as it should be; delicious finger sandwiches, freshly baked scones and tray bakes in a historic country house set amongst stunning scenery. Our afternoon tea menu is inspired by our wonderful local Mourne Honey, which we source from a local bee guru who operates a small apiary close by on the slopes of Slieve Donard mountain.

Lovely old style country house. The staff there are really lovely and go the extra mile to make you feel welcome.
The room was clean and cosy. Super comfy bed and I got an excellent nights rest.
The food was lovely. There is also a really pleasant meandering walk down to the Shimna river on the grounds. To top it all off, ample parking.
I would definitely recommend a stay at the Enniskeen Country House.

If you want a quiet and peaceful break, this is the place. Staff helpful and pleasant. Food was nice, especially when a family of deer pass the dining room window.

We stay there fairly regularly and love the location. Overall the place is clean and well kept and prices are not too expensive. It is a family run hotel and not as professional as some places. The food standard is adequate for short stays but menus are limited and so we eat out too.
