For golfers visiting County Down, Hillyard House in Castlewellan is the perfect base. Ideally located beside Castlewellan Forest Park, just minutes from Royal County Down and other top courses, the hotel is less than two hours from Dublin and only 45 minutes from Belfast. After a day on the fairways, it’s the ideal spot to slow down, relax, and enjoy award-winning hospitality.
This boutique hotel offers 20 stylish ensuite rooms, each thoughtfully designed with modern comforts including Super King beds, LOR coffee machines, and air conditioning. Unique layouts and local photography give every room its own charm, ensuring a cosy and restful stay after a long round of golf.
Dining is a highlight at The Yard Restaurant, where the best local produce — including perfectly aged beef — takes centre stage. After dinner, golfers can unwind with a pint of Guinness or a crafted cocktail in the characterful Mrs Coleman’s Bar, the perfect place to celebrate a great round.
