Hotels near The Clump, Dundalk

Glen Gat - Family B&B. It's been the business of Tim and Catherine for 32 years. Now daughter Helena joined it. Their B&B is a restored Victorian house. Each room has a unique design, and the common hall and dining room can be visited as a museum of Irish life. But what attracts and gives uniqueness is the owner of the establishment - Tim, who is known by everyone in Dundalk. He will personally make you breakfast, and chat with you on any topic and joke. If you have any problem, you can easily contact the hosts. From recommendations on where to buy swimming trunks or to repair a laptop to advice on which doctor to consult or which school to send a child to. They will not just give advice, but will also call and arrange a meeting by themselves. Or even take you with them there. If you're lucky enough to visit Glen Gat during the holidays, you can be sure that you'll be celebrating as if at home. On Easter, you will search for chocolate eggs around the hotel and receive a delicious Easter dinner. On Halloween, you will play various games: freeze dance, piñata and others. You will prepare goodies yourself and hit pinatas, and the number of sweets will exceed all your expectations. If you're lucky enough to visit Glen Gat in the summer for the Tain March Festival, Helen and Tim will take you to a fancy dress event in the centre of Dundalk. You will not just be a spectator, you will be dressed in a Viking costume, Viking symbols will be painted on your face, and you will become a participant in the event and even a bit of an actor. It is simply difficult to imagine an even greater uniqueness of hospitality.

Myself & my cousin stayed for one night in November & from the beginning we were most impressed. We arrived knowing it was too early to check in, and we were greeted by the lovely Rosie. I asked could we leave our bags while we wandered around the shops, and Rosie was so accommodating. Nothing was an issue and everything went so smoothly. The room was clean, well decorated and everything we needed or could want was there. The beds were most comfortable. The bar was lovely, we stopped off before we were going to meet family elsewhere, and we had to drag ourselves away, unfortunately. We wouldn't hesitate to stay there again!

The front desk is very good, the breakfast is good, there is a Christmas tree at the door, and the children can't bear to leave after playing for a long time. Breakfast is good, many people come to hold a wedding in the castle

the hotel is very nice when you walk in, staff are very professional&rooms are super clean. the rooms DO NOT have air conditioning, so as we walked in at 3.30pm it was like a sauna.the window would only open a very small amount.there was a fan, which we left on all the time, but that just moved around the hot air.didn't sleep well at all because of heat. AIR CONDITIONING unit needs to be installed. bar is very nice&beer garden. prices are too high though.to pay €7.80 for a pint of birra moretti is too much. would only go back to stay in hotel if i saw air conditioning was installed.

We checked in late and receptionist was very efficency + friendly.I had rang earlier in the day to say we would be arriving later.Reception asked what time as food finished being served at 9pm.I was happy to know this + we stopped on route as our arrival time was due to be 9 30.We had a lovely spacious room and enjoyed a few drinks in the bar Only small quip: barman didn't let the Guinness settle before top up.Told me ”that will be grand in a few minutes” To me that indicates he knew he should wait.Tasted lovely! Did ask what type of tonic I would like for gin which I was happy about
