I have travelled to many different places throughout the world but this hotel is as enjoyable an experience that we can remember of all of the places we have stayed. Whilst the hotel is quite impressive, the staff are the ones that made this quite memorable. The locals throughout the Mournes are the friendliest and most polite we have had the pleasure to meet. Thanks to everyone for your outstanding hospitality and service.

The Canal Court is a good place to stay, central, clean and comfortable. However, it needs some basic security and client management. At one point, there were at least 6 children running around the public bar areas, lifts and stairs and yelling and screaming. If their parents aren't going to stop them doing that, then the staff need to have a word with the parents. And sorry if this annoys parents reading this, but NOBODY enjoys trying to have a quiet drink with children constantly making noise, even parents of non-noisy children. On another occasion, three hoodied kids unaccompanied by parents came up to where we were sitting and asked us for money. (No, we didn't give them any.) The staff came and asked them to leave eventually, but there really should be somebody on the door stopping them getting in. But probably the worst thing about the Canal Court public bar areas is the music. Annoying 80s and 90s pop and rock that absolutely NOBODY was listening to. Even for people who like that kind of thing - I assume there are some - it wasn't loud enough to really listen to. And people come to the Canal Court to be with friends, have a drink or something to eat, not to listen to old music. It WAS still loud enough to be annoying, though. That's what really lets the place down, I think.

It was a very busy weekend but the staff were rude. The food was expensive and not good - it was mainly the waitresses that were downright rude. Breakfast was not good. The staff at the spa were friendly and that was ok. Nice Sauna … but this is not a 4 star hotel. No reflection on the town which was fine.

Welcoming friendly staff, from the reception, to the diner to the bar. Lovely, comfortable room. And great that the Canal Court is a good base to trek the local area, including the Mourne Mountains - and the sea.
