From the moment we attended the Carrickdale wedding fair and met our wedding coordinator, Michelle, we were certain that this was the place we wanted our wedding reception to be. We weren't disappointed. This venue was fabulous from start to finish. Michelle was the perfect mix of kindness and professionalism, matching a genuine care for her clients with decades of experience. She made the wedding reception planning a joy. She was always available and happy to offer advice and promptly answer our many questions. On the day of the wedding she ensured that everything was planned and timed to perfection. She handled a delay on our part with the utmost professionalism and made us feel very much at ease. She told us that our only job was to enjoy ourselves. Everybody raved about the delicious food and friendly, attentive and perfectly-timed service. Portions were very generous and children and guests with dietary requirements were happily facilitated. Lacey's Suite looked stunning at Christmas time and it easily held our 250 guests. The Carrickdale Hotel helped to make our wedding day very special and we will always remember it very fondly. We would definitely highly recommend this venue for anyone who is planning their wedding and we are certain that, like us, you will not be disappointed.

We just got back from an amazing stay at the Carrickdale Hotel, We stayed from Tuesday to Friday, two adults and two kids, and honestly, it was one of the best hotel experiences we've ever had. First off, the location is fantastic—nestled right between the beautiful Mourne mountains. The place is beautiful, clean and well-maintained, and the grounds are just gorgeous. There's a lovely secret garden cafe where we had some of the best pizzas, burgers, and coffee. It's such a cozy spot! Our first night, we ate in the hotel's restaurant, and it was fantastic. Shout out to Caroline, our waitress, who was so friendly and great with our kids. She made us feel right at home and nothing was too much trouble for her. The leisure center was a big hit with all of us. They provide robes and slippers so you can comfortably walk from your room to the pool, and towels are ready for you there. Such nice touches! There's also a mini-golf course and a cute little playground in the garden. Our kids had a blast and were entertained the whole time. On our last day, we tried the food in the bar, and once again, it didn't disappoint. Everything was delicious, and the service was spot on. Prices were very reasonable too, which is always a plus. As someone with coeliac disease, I was thrilled with the gluten-free options available everywhere, even in the garden cafe. They had a gluten-free pizza option, which is pretty rare to find. Breakfasts were a highlight with choices like full Irish, vegetarian, gluten-free options, and even a healthy breakfast salad. The kids loved the pancakes! Times for breakfast are 7 - 11 which gave us SO much time without once having to panic or rush down for breakfast! It's also cooked fresh to order - no cold eggs or soggy sausages!! The rooms were spacious and comfy, with a shower and jacuzzi bath. The temperature was perfect, not too hot or cold. We felt so relaxed and at home. Overall, the Carrickdale Hotel has such a friendly atmosphere. Everyone we met was smiling and happy to help with anything we needed. It truly felt like a home away from home. It's real old school Irish hospitality that is often lacking in most places these days! I wish we could have stayed longer, and I can't recommend this place enough. If you're looking for a family-friendly, welcoming, and beautiful hotel, this is it!
