Hospitals in Downpatrick

“We entered a competition for our kids school and they won the kids had Very tasty pizzas delivered to their classroom Go raibh maith agat fallones”

“Firstly, to introduce myself - I am a 75-year-old bloke. I drove down to the hospital to pick up a friend, who had just had a cataract operation. It was a breath of fresh air. As I arrived early, I had breakfast. The restaurant staff kept calling me “love”, which I love. And the breakfast was super tasty. Up until I met up with my friend all I encountered was smiling helpfulness. BTW: the hospital is a tad out of the way for someone driving from the Belfast direction, but it is very well signposted. So, five stars.”

“Visited yesterday . Has a scalf which was turning septic. Treated in the out of hours unit. Would like to pay a special thanks to the doctor Amy and all staff for the excellent treatment. There is other sides of the NHS . 24 hours and vast improvement.”

“Great consultation and welcome from all staff at castle vets today. Thankyou”

“Unfortunately circumstances resulted in me using downe vets on boxing day, to have my best buddy, HEX, a Belgium shepherd put to sleep. The vet on duty was Anna, professional of the highest standards and such a reassuring approach to both HEX and I, at this horrendous moments. I highly recommend this vets. Thank you Anna”

“Been a while since I was last in Aldo’s. Great night with all the boys. Food excellent and very relaxed.”

“We cannot recommend this bar highly enough. The owner of the bar extended a level of kindness to four weary walkers that was above and way beyond. Irish hospitality and kindness at its very best. A great bar. Ps. hope Southhampton make it back to the premiership”

“Great service, delicious food and very good coffee and all reasonably priced. I've tried multiple different dishes on the menu and they have all been wonderful with generous servings”

“We visited Fodder today and decided to have some Festive Fayre from their menu. We sat outside as we had 2 large dogs and quick as lightning a member of staff dried the picnic table and seats. Not only that, a beautiful deer hide rug was produced as well to sit on. An absolute delight sitting in the sun surrounded by twinkling Christmas Trees. The food which arrived promptly was absolutely delish. I had beef brisket with slaw and crispy onions served in a brioche bap, my other half had the Christmas burger which he declared very tasty. A great Christmas 'picnic', thoroughly enjoyed.”

“Beautiful wedding venue. The party area for the reception was so well decorated and the balcony made for a great cool down zone post dance marathon. The bar staff were really lovely, especially a ginger-y gentleman who was working at the bar upstairs. Very friendly and working his butt off to keep up with a lot of big drinks orders. I didn't stay in the guest rooms that night but I have heard from family that it was a great stay.”

“Have been there several times and the place is family friendly and the food is fantastic.”

“After cycling all day I needed to find somewhere to eat. Few places were open but then I found this: superb. Really lovely local craft beer which made a refreshing change, and superb food.”

“So many amazing memories here. We’ve stayed in the apartments for over a month a few summers in a row. Love the restaurant. Love the staff. They actually supplied the drinks for our wedding. Just so many amazing people. The foods great. Located right in the heart of town. Very affordable.”

“If you want a friendly place to get a good feed, you couldn’t do much better. We use this wonderful spot as a place to meet for a coffee before kayaking the coastline. The staff are friendly, the atmosphere is lovely and the food ie hearty and delicious.”

“What a lovely stay we had at the anchor apartments! Spotlessly clean and the host provided everything you could possibly need for a comfortable break away. Lovely views and close to pubs and restaurants. Would highly recommend.”

“What an amazing bed & breakfast - far better than any other b&b we've ever stayed in over the years. We were welcomed by John & Sarah as if we were old friends! They'd left tea bags, coffee, hot chocolate sachets with a kettle for us in our room together with freshly home made chocolate chip cookies and fresh milk and bottled water in our fridge. An absolutely beautiful house and garden with an extremely spacious family bedroom with a dressing room and spotless ensuite and WiFi. We also had a separate sitting room area on the landing outside our room with recliner sofas, a TV and a massive floor cushion - somewhere our family could enjoy a good game of Uno! We enjoyed beautiful views from our window over the fields towards the Mourne mountains. The breakfasts were amazing - tea, coffee, orange juice, fresh fruit, cereal, yogurts, toast and very tasty Ulster Fries! Both John and Sarah were so welcoming and friendly, as were their 2 family dogs. Creeghduff Lodge is in a fantastic rural setting between Newcastle and Downpatrick and a short drive to Strangford from where you can cross to Portaferry by a 10 minute car ferry crossing. We couldn't recommend Creeghduff Lodge highly enough and thank John & Sarah for absolutely everything they did for us during our stay.”

“The owners were so welcoming and accommodating. They took good care of us during our trip to Northern Ireland. They picked us up from the station and made sure we got to our excursions with ease. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The town was friendly and beautiful. I felt as if I was with family during the whole experience. They made sure we knew how to get around Northern Ireland and also took us to some Game of Thrones sites (once they heard how we were fans). They even dropped us off at Winterfell and picked us up after our tour. The location was ideal and steps away from local pubs, shopping, and grocery stores. Our trip to Northern Ireland was amazing thanks to the owners at Number Nine B&B.”

“Great food and really friendly staff. The menu meant the most difficult part of my visit was deciding what to eat. Order by phone no waiting in and out in a flash, when you only get 1/2 hrs for lunch every minute counts. Cheers Sean and team”

“James and Nicola are friendly, attentive and accomadating hosts . Their period home is charming and comfortable and in a good location for day trips to the coastal village of Kilough for e.g. We brought our collie with us and she was accommadated well as they have dogs of their own. Harty and tasty breakfasts are provided to set you up for the day for trips further afield in Nl.!”

“Great crack great staff from what I can remember lol”

“As a large family, renting Inch Schoolhouse was the highlight of our trip abroad. The home is well appointed with multiple opportunities to both recreate and relax. I highly recommend!!”

“Enjoyed a meal here last Friday and recommend it. I ordered the vegetable korma and my wife a chicken korma. We also brought our own bottle of wine. We'll be back”

“Highly recommend Maddie's place. Warm and cosy with all amenities but, best of all, it's literally about 20 yards from the door to the sand. Beautiful part of the world.”

“Beautiful surroundings. Fantastic service and parking”

“Absolutely brilliant. Stayed in a gypsy caravan in their apple orchard and it was an amazing experience.”

“Stayed here this weekend and what a treat. The location is perfect and the house was unbelievable. Great service includes. Will be back.”

“Gorgeous little coastal getaway. Super cosy with amazing sea views.”
