Newry hotels advice – looking further a-field

So if you’re thinking about booking a hotel in Newry anytime soon you may be wondering which place is going to be best for you. The truth is that there are a number of different accommodation options available, everything from B&Bs and guesthouses to one of the luxury Newry hotels is going to be an option. I know that for some price is going to be one of the biggest factors but I feel spending a little extra is important but not essential for a great time in Newry.

Warrenpoint - Newry hotels

One of the most popular Newry hotels is the Canal court hotel which is also the largest hotel in Newry so it attracts a wide range of visitors from home and abroad. One of the best things about the hotel is the location as it is right in the heart of the city with great links to all the best shops and bars. I feel that location is something people don’t often think about when they book a hotel in a strange city as it can make a big difference to your whole experience.

One thing many people looking for Newry hotels may not consider is staying in a hotel outside the city in one of the smaller towns. One option would be the small town of Warrenpoint which is just a 10 minute drive down the duel carriageway from Newry. Warrenpoint has a great nightlife scene with almost as many bars as Newry which is a real bonus. Also the town has great sea views over Carlingford lough which offers picture postcard sunsets famous around the Mournes. Apart from the factors above the main factor with Warrenpoint hotels is the price as you can expect a reasonable discount compared to a Newry hotel.

So that’s my quick update for any of you who are looking for a hotel near Newry anytime soon, be sure to check back soon for some more great hotel advice.
