When we walked in I wasn't sure what to expect, not fancy in anyway a real pub setting. The staff and service we received within minutes of our arrival was outstanding and so accommodating. The best service I've ever received anywhere and the best fish chips I've ever eaten. Next time I'm in Ireland I will definitely go back and... More

Stayed there on a 3 night break and on arrival we were met By Frances and her two daughters who were busy decorating the place for Halloween. Very nice and friendly and greeted us very warmly. Frances went out of her way to make sure we had the TV in the lounge tuned in for the live Ulster rugby match... More

Walking from Murlough beach upto the Harbour bar we decided on a little lunchtime snack. We shared the duck spring rolls and large prawn open sandwich - which were both delicious! The back part of the outside sitting area is for smokers and wasn't cleared up or clean, however when our food arrived we moved round to the side as... More

Wife and I stayed here for 4 nights with another couple in early September. From our arrival to leaving Frank, Francis and all, could not have been more friendly and accommodating. Our rooms and the bar areas were clean and comfortable. They did a good quiz one night, and live music on two other nights, the "locals" session being particularly... More

Booked in here for one night. On arrival it was friendly homely and very welcoming. Our room was compact, clean, comfortable and well furnished. The only thing I would recommend is to put a curtain on the church glass between the bathroom and bedroom as you can see every reflection. Our bar food Italian Chicken was mmmmmmmmmm delicious cant say... More

Came to have a bite to eat 12th July, able to squeeze us in on a very busy night. Staff were excellent, especially the lady serving in the restaurant.Food was excellent and perfect for kids! Do not let the decor and mishmashed menu put you off, this place is great and reasonably priced!

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
Our property is on the South Promenade at Newcastle Harbour: The harbour is among the most richly historic areas of Newcastle. Home to many longstanding families, the area around the pier has a long association with the sea. The origins of the current harbour date back to the 1820's, when a new pier was created by Lord Annesley to replace the old one. One of the chief functions of the pier was to act as a loading point for Mourne granite, which was quarried in the hills above the harbour. If you stand on the shorter arm of the pier and look up towards the mountain you can see a path cut through the trees leading to the now defunct quarry on Millstone Mountain. In the last century, stone was quarried here and dispatched down this track to the harbour by railtrucks. It was loaded on to ships (known as Stone Boats) and used to build docks in Belfast and Liverpool and the courthouse gaol in nearby Downpatrick ... more   less
