The Clandeboye Lodge Hotel named 4-Star Hotel of the Year

16th October 2023

Described by Georgina Campbell as a “comfortable privately owned modern four star near Bangor” which “fits in well with its rural surroundings and not only
offers an appealing alternative for those who do not need to stay in town, but is also handy enough for business visits to Belfast.

Reception staff are exceptionally warm and helpful and this - together with a welcoming fire and plentiful seating areas in the the large and stylish foyer - creates a good impression that carries throughout the hotel.

A note from the owners, Pim and Mandy Dalm, to guests arriving in the thoughtfully designed bedrooms, is a nice touch, and the quiet attention to detail is outstanding. And then there is the good food served in the attractive Coq and Bull brasserie, where an iconic Sophie Dickens Coq and Bull sculpture sets the tone for a stylish design and ‘destination restaurant’ ambience, and the “Good Honest Food” served is inspired by consultation with the famed Nick Price - formerly of Nick’s Warehouse and one of the chefs who led the way in Northern Ireland’s thriving new food scene.

The hotel is a popular wedding venue, but events take place in separate conference and banqueting centre, so other hotel guests are not disturbed. Not a bells and whistles place, this is just the spot for guests who appreciate understated excellence.”
