Our places in Castlewellan

There are seven places in Castlewellan, and they cover a fairly wide range. Two are for couples, with one bedroom each. The rest have three or five bedrooms and sleep from 5 to 8 guests. The cheapest night found is far below the usual price for the town, so a small budget is not shut out, but it mostly applies to the two-person cabins. Families and groups will usually pay more. Because there are only seven places, popular dates can leave little choice, and it is worth looking early for a weekend.

Castlewellan sits at the foot of the Mourne Mountains in County Down, and the lodges here suit small groups and families who want a hot tub as part of the stay. Almost nine in ten of the places come with one, which is a much higher share than you would expect from a typical lodge area. Guest ratings are high too, at about 9.7 out of 10.

The choice is small, so it helps to know what is on offer. Most places sleep between 5 and 8 people, with an average capacity of about 5.4, and the largest have 5 bedrooms. A couple of two-person cabins sit at the cheaper end, one of them with a log burner and a dog-friendly policy but no hot tub. Larger lodges with a hot tub cost noticeably more per night, and the dearest are the ones with a sauna as well. Prices ease month by month from November towards spring.

Features

The hot tub is the feature that defines Castlewellan: six of the seven places have one, and those stays are usually dearer than the town as a whole. Log burners and gardens each appear in four places, and a barbecue in three. Gardens go with the cheaper end of the range, while the places with a high chair or a sauna sit at the top. Only one place has a sauna. Dog-friendly cabins are available, with four in ten of them not accepting pets at all, so check this before you book.

By number of guests

The larger lodges are the best-defined group here. Three places sleep 7 to 9 guests, and each has 5 bedrooms or close to it. That makes a big lodge cheaper per head than the two-person cabins, which only share the cost between two. If you are travelling with a few couples or several families, the larger lodges are the better value.

Prices month by month

Prices are highest in November and ease steadily through the winter. December is slightly cheaper, and by February and March the usual night is clearly lower than at the start of the period. March and April cost the same. Availability tells a similar story: November and December have the fewest free nights, while January, March and April have the most. If you can travel midweek in late winter or early spring, you will usually get both a lower price and more dates to choose from.
