Kilmorey Arms Hotel awarded three-star grading

Tourism Northern Ireland has awarded the Kilmorey Arms hotel a three-star rating under its accommodation grading scheme.

The recently refurbished hotel has opened under new management achieving a three-star award on its first Quality Grading Assessment, indicating the accommodation is of a ‘very good standard’.

Having first opened in the 1800’s the Kimorey Arms is a listed building steeped in history with undeniable character, offering 24 affordable and comfortable rooms.

Caroline Adams, Quality and Standards Manager Tourism NI commented “I congratulate the Kilmorey Arms’ new management for joining the scheme and helping to send a strong message to our visitors about the quality available within the Northern Ireland tourism accommodation offering.

“The extensive refurbishment of the Kilmorey Arms, coupled with the friendliness of the staff, enhances the visitor offering in Kilkeel and County Down. There is great synergy between the Northern Ireland Year of Food and Drink’s focus on local produce and the Kilmorey Arms’ revamped food menu, which now features local ingredients including Kilkeel crab, Fivemiletown Goat’s Cheese and Mourne Lamb.”

Claire McCauley, General Manager Kilmorey Arms Hotel said; “We are absolutely delighted with our rating from Tourism NI. It is great to have our hard work and dedication over the past year recognised. It is a testament to our dedicated staff who constantly deliver warm and genuine service, impeccable attention to detail which provides for an excellent guest experience. “
