ANYONE LOOKING A BARGAIN ?

Good value that , Norn . Stayed in one of those last year and the "official" rate for our room was around £200 for B & B .  £75 is a steal  , as one breakfast would be costing around £15 .

£16.99 BREKKI  LOL I WAS TEMPTED TO WRITE 1690 FOR RICHTERS NO SWEAT I LIKE TRY HELP PEOPLE IF POSSIBLE AND NO POINT PAYING OVER THE ODDS

Whatever about Norn Irons kind offer the Slieve Donard is a beautiful hotel in a beautiful part of the country,its steeped in history and is architecturally a wonder

The coast road from Newcastle to Tyrella is something else,I think you have missed the Tyrella point to point which is unfortunate.

For younger people they have a modern bar The Percy French at the entrance to the Slieve Donard hotel.

Its also a golfers paradise.

I went to Westport for Cheltenham last year. 3 nights b&b in 4 star Castlecourt (Tue Wed Thu) was only €80 a head.I think it is something similar this year.(It was the last time I looked)Great town and some great racing pubs.

weeks

From age 4 to about 20 I spent every summer in Newcastle ( we took a house for the month ) . Always near the golf course(s) . You had to cross the railway tracks in those days to get on to the course ( the short way from our house ) . Never set foot in the Slieve though until I was about 25 . It was olde world then , draughty etc , but now it is top class and I use it regularly for meals if down that way , set dinner used to be excellent and not bad value considering the standard attained .

Not sure how you can get golf for 20 anything norn , unless you are in the company of a member . My brother plays a lot of Saturdays with members of Mourne for approaching that figure , but during the winter they nip around the Anneseley ( NO 2 ) course in about 3 hours as distinct from the big course which is a 5 hour job . And it is a good course  , and you will not lose as many balls as on the main links .

KELLY MY COUSIN MEMBER AND FREINDS  SO 20£ FOR BIG COURSE(NORMALLY 180£  FOR 18 HOLES)  EXCEPT WEEKENDS  WEE COURSE HAS CHANGED LOT bigger NOW AND DECENT TEST .

YES SLIEVE DONARD IS SUPERB I STAYED WHEN MY DAUGHTER GOT MARRIED THER 3 YRS AGO (THAT ENDED MY CHANCE GETTING INTO SYNDICATE HORSE)

which hotel is near belfast? thinking of going for few nights soon...

The Gotchee, Everglades is just outside Derry City with a golf course next door, ain't been in it for a while but was a decent hotel last time I was in it for a wedding.
