10/10 Exceptional

Definitely a return visit in the future.

Even though they had not received the booking from Hotels.com they were incredibly accommodating. Got us right into a room & treated us so well. Craig & Laura were so professional & treated us like royalty. Actually all the staff was like that with all the guests. We will definitely be returning
Rosalee, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Property is getting a little dated and could do with a overhaul in bedrooms and bathrooms
David, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Lovely old property with lots of character, but suffers from cold. Single glazing probably doesn't help but lots of heaters around and open fires too. Staff were really friendly and helpful.

Fantastic little boutique hotel

Fantastic little boutique hotel. Staff were really friendly, couldn’t do enough for you. We got a room upgrade when we arrived which was amazing. The view was fantastic. As for the food, wow! Well presented and very tasty. Sadly we couldn’t do the tasting menu as never gave any notice that we wanted it. Wasn’t disappointed though as the normal menu was very good. The hotel was also dog friendly. A welcome doggy pack was also provided. The hotel was littered with awards, the owner popped in a couple of times to say hello and to check we were receiving the best service. Highly recommend this for a romantic get away.
Garry, 2-night trip

Relaxing Break

The House is lovely its a beautiful building - needs some repairs but nothing stopping you from enjoying it, located in a very rural place not much around - only 1 other place to eat. the view from the house is exceptional and you have a small area to sit on the water front ( stoned ) room was clean and had everything you needed just needs a little updating - staff were very helpful and professional and very welcoming - we were away as a couple for a relaxing weekend and Knockderry provided this well. breakfast was more than enough and tasty - i would say a little bit of TLC is needed and maybe some snack option on the menu - maybe not a place to go with kids - if your looking for a relaxing break then Knockderry is the place to go
