Dunadry Hotel and Gardens

Staff where very friendly and helpful as I have some medical issues which effect how much I can eat they where fantastic making adjustments to my meals. Rooms are large with a sofa a walk in wardrobe large tv. The bathrooms are nicely decorated the only problem was there was a bad stain round the plug hole in our sink but nothing major the gardens are beautiful and well looked after four beautiful white peacocks roam the grounds. The swimming pool is heated so perfect with the cold weather the jacuzzi was broken but we used the seam room and sauna. Can definitely recommend a stay here

Nice hotel but spa facilities open to public, very busy and lots of kids

We have visited this hotel on several occasions. We live about 30 minutes away and choose to come here for an overnight relaxing stay because it is stunning in every way. Staff is so very friendly and professional without being overly attentive and intrusive. Room facilities - all you would expect from a high class hotel. Lor coffee machine and tea / biscuits provided. Bathroom well stocked with products and lovely soft fluffy, white, towels with bathrobes and slippers provided. Large and very comfortable Kingsize bed with deep soft pillows. Temperature was perfect. We stayed in room 241 which had wonderful views of the garden and peacocks. Food - breakfast was usual cold and hot selection with the makings of a perfect Ulster fry - bacon and sausage, egg (scrambled, fried), beans, mushrooms, tomatoes, soda and potato farls fried. Main restaurant food is also great. Grounds are so beautiful and well kept with all kinds of flora and fauna The peacocks are a treat and oftentimes perch along the upstairs railings. The Sixmike river runs along the bottom of the grounds of the hotel and a new rose garden has been added since our last visit. A new private spa area is being created which looks like it is going to be fabulous. Hot tubs outside rooms with steam room and sauna etc. More often than not I would post recommendations to management on ways to improve things but I cannot find anything that needs fixed.

Fabulous stay, rooms were beautiful and spacious. We had dinner and breakfast. In the restaurant and the staff were exceptional in particular Patricia and Susie. Both of them went above and beyond and nothing is too much bother. They are the shining stars of the restaurant. Also the entertainer in the bar was friendly and added to the celebratory experience.

We booked our wedding in the Dunadry for the 21st September 2024. We met Laura when booking the wedding and she looked after us from the get go, closer to the wedding she kept regular contact with us, sorting out table plan, she took a list of decor bits we had, she catered to every need we had. Everything was exactly how we imagine it & more. The package we got was amazing, the supplied centre pieces, we had the options of hiring a sweetie cart, post box, extra top table decor and the prices for hiring these where fantastic and wouldn’t have gotten it cheaper anywhere else especially for the quality of the items we hired. We were met by Malachy on the day of our wedding, and he is one of the nicest men ever. He put us at ease, he went above and beyond and explained everything to us about how the day was going to go and if we were happy with it. He was so so lovely and there with us the wholeeee day we absolutely loved him!! Laura also met us right after the ceremony to congratulate us, she was amazing from the get go and everything went so smooth and as planned thanks to Laura. We really wanted an outside ceremony and the secret garden was absolutely perfect for this! But being in Northern Ireland our weather is hit or miss so they had a back up plan of having the ceremony in river room if the weather wasn’t good. But fortunately it was a lovely day and we had the ceremony outside. It was stunning & very well organised. If anyone is thinking of having their wedding at the Dunadry I would highly recommend it. Great value, great food, great staff and the most memorable day if our whole lives.

I have stayed in many hotels in and around Belfast but this one in a small hamlet close to Belfast International Airport is special. Every time I stay, it feels like a home away from home. The peaceful atmosphere, surrounded by lush gardens, always helps me relax even though i am working. The rooms are consistently cozy and comfortable (over slept a few times because of them) and if lucky enough open up into the main garden and the tree of peace and unity. The staff truly make the experience special – they’re always welcoming and attentive, making sure every stay is perfect. Whether it’s a seamless check-in, helpful recommendations, or just small thoughtful gestures, they make each visit feel personal and memorable. The breakfast buffet is a real highlight, with everything from freshly baked breads to traditional cooked options. Dinner is always a treat – the menu has a wide variety and the classics are always there. The atmosphere in the restaurant is warm and cozy, and the staff are incredibly attentive, making sure each dining experience is flawless. The leisure facilities, especially the pool and gym, are a great bonus.. not that im one for all that fitness end of things but its an option when i feel like using it. Looking forward to a spot of wine and whiskey tasting in ‘The Cellar’ in the near future, a unique addition to this classic hotel. Overall it is hands down my favourite place to stay, and I look forward to every visit. Highly recommend it!

I recently stayed at Dunadry with a friend as a birthday treat. We had a delicious meal in the restaurant, where the staff were very welcoming. We visited both the pool and the gym during our stay, which were both very well kept, and again staff and management were extremely helpful and friendly. Very pleased with our stay and will definitely be back again soon! Have already recommended to family and friends.

We had a lovely one night stay. It is conveniently located close to the motorway system, Belfast and the airport - we had an early morning check for the ferry home and it was an ideal location. The public areas of the hotel are stunning with an amazing staircase and gallery along with cosy bar areas and a restaurant overlooking the river. The gardens are very sweet and you can't miss the tree of peace and unity - or the 5 delightful peacocks! Our bedroom was spacious and very comfortable. Very good free wi-fi, excellent heating system and a comfy, huge bed. Great shower and nice toiletries and clean. We had a very relaxing drink in the bar which overlooks the garden - so relaxing that I never got to try out the spa facilities - hopefully next time. We had a very enjoyable dinner. A good selection for each course, very well cooked, generous portions and thoughtfully presented. Thoroughly enjoyable and well priced too. Breakfast was buffet style. We skipped the tempting full Irish and especially liked the very fresh fruit salad and yogurt. But what really made this hotel special for us were the people who work there. From the moment we arrived until we left they were all so very friendly, helpful, caring, accommodating, amusing and happy to spend a few moments chatting. Nothing was too much trouble. So when I have a minute I shall be booking a return stay there at the end of next year's trip to Northern Ireland - and may be this time I'll check out the Spa!

Excellent …..Hotel service team had a beautiful welcome for our wedding anniversary ! Well done! But that’s where it ends! Requested a nice warm table for my wife and I got put beside a table of 16 enjoying a 70th birthday…..ok but not very romantic! Got seated with menu’s and waited 16 minutes to take a drink order…water and drink came 15 minutes later!? Now 31 minutes after arrival! Food order taken! So 60 minutes after arriving our food arrived?! Food rudely added to table and when I requested Vinegar from my Fish n Chips I had no response! I requested it again when the remaining items came and it was simply slammed on the table! My wife and I come from a food service industry and understand staff pressures however several staff with a table of 16 and 6 tables of 2 doesn’t in any way evaluate the service we received! But I continue…… After 15 further minutes I managed to get the attention of a waitress to ask for some more water and a drink… which once again was rushed and a rude roll of the eyes! It eventually came 16 minutes later! So we are now 1 hour and 32 minutes into our meal… which we have been told we need to be finished in 1 hour 30’minutes! I then reached out to 3 waiting staff to clear our table and indicate for a dessert menu! A further 30 minutes went by and no one returned with menu or even to address the issue! I asked my wife was she happy to leave and we did! We proceeded to the lobby when we asked to speak to the restaurant manager! When he came he offered us a drink as an apology but didn’t really listen to the issue and ignored the fact that we had put comments regarding our special anniversary and table requirements but just blamed a big table and new bar staff… not really my issue I’m a paying guest! And I paid a lot for my executive room! Ok so our restaurant experience was now ruined as my wife is a major dessert person! Ok so went off to our room after he told us he would sort out the bill with reception!! So at our dismay! When checking out the next morning… not only was our bill not reduced but we were being charged for 2 glasses of wine which my wife and I don’t drink!!! So an another manger was called…… and really didn’t really care or show much emotion regarding the poor service of the restaurant and offered to reduce our bill by 20% which I was disgusted by but I didn’t want to embarrass my wife by properly kicking off! I was then told that the Operations/General Manager would call me late that day or over the coming days and I am still waiting! Yours dissatisfied Guest James Scott
