great access to parks and scenic walks nearby

We stayed here for three nights and found it so easy to explore nearby Silent Valley Mountain Park and enjoy the stunning views from the Double Room with Mountain View, making our weekend strolls truly remarkable.

The views were absolutely stunning, even with inclement weather, and the room was impeccably clean and spacious, designed with comfort in mind. The breakfast selection was delightful, offering fresh, organic options that tasted fantastic. The hosts were incredibly welcoming and provided valuable tips about the local area, creating a home-like atmosphere. the location may be a bit isolated for those looking for more immediate access to local attractions, and parking could get crowded during peak times.

The room was spotless and came with lovely coffee and tea. The bed was super comfy. I really enjoyed lounging by the sun terrace and relaxing in the jacuzzi after a long day. The only downside was that the Wi-Fi was a bit spotty at times, but it didn't really take away from the experience. 😊

Breathtaking, breathtaking, breathtaking.

The views from our room were breathtaking, with a perfect panorama of the Mourne Mountains and the Irish Sea. Every morning started with a delicious, locally-sourced breakfast that truly made the experience special. Fiona and Sam, the hosts, provided exceptional hospitality, even securing us dinner reservations when we thought we had none!

100% recommend 😊❤️

Couples seeking a truly special retreat

The hosts were simply amazing! They secured us a last-minute dinner when we thought we couldn’t get one anywhere. The views from our room overlooking the mountains, it felt like we were living in a painting, you know? Just breathtaking.

Sure, it wasn’t exactly cheap but honestly, for what you get, it’s more than acceptable.

a warm welcome, delicious breakfast, and fabulous views await you

Exceptional hospitality and cozy ambiance.

Exceptional hosts make the stay memorable

I had a delightful stay with stunning mountain views and friendly, attentive hosts who made us feel right at home. The breakfast featured locally sourced ingredients which added a cozy touch. The only improvement I could suggest would be more variety in healthy breakfast options.

The accommodation at Samona Bed & Breakfast was outstanding, featuring a spacious and tidy room with stunning mountain views. The hosts, Fiona and Sam, provided exceptional service, accommodating specific needs with genuine kindness. Breakfast had a delightful selection, including local produce, making for a satisfying start to the day. Their warm hospitality made the stay truly enjoyable.

The stay was delightful. The room was spacious and clean with stunning mountain views. Breakfast featured local produce, which was a comforting touch. The hosts were incredibly friendly and helpful, making us feel at home. I would return again for the picturesque scenery. 😊

What a delightful stay! The mountain view was stunning, and the breakfast was absolutely exceptional—fresh and plentiful. I especially loved the cozy decor which made me feel right at home.

The hot tub was a perfect retreat after exploring the stunning mountain views, and the comfy bed was just what we needed for a restful night. Sam even found us a great dinner spot that was fully booked elsewhere!

Oh, where do I start? The Manchego ratatouille was a flavor explosion on my plate! Fiona and Sam truly went above and beyond, making sure we were comfortable during our stay. Plus, the mountain views from the room felt like a postcard come to life!

Honestly, not much to grumble about! Everything still shined bright, though.

a lovely retreat with minor room for improvement

The room with a mountain view exceeded my expectations with its spacious layout and impeccable cleanliness. the personalized recommendations from the hosts enhanced our dining experience and made exploring the area enjoyable.

The location, while beautiful, required a bit of driving to access local attractions.

It was just an optimal selection for a city trip in Kilkeel with reasonable price. The room was warm and cozy, which made our stay enjoyable. Make sure to ask for heating in advance if you're visiting in a colder season.

Incredibly friendly hosts made us feel at home. Wi-Fi was spotty though.
