Trip with my wife, my father and his girlfriend. The B&B is in the beautiful countryside not far from Newry. The rooms are modern and cosy. The breakfast is perfect. Blair is really friendly and available.

Great location, away from the busy crowds. Blair is a great host, very attentive, nothing was too much trouble. Hillside was really clean, home from home. When we left Blair waved us off from the front door, just like an old friend would. Nice touch Blair, nearly made us cry.

The owner made us feel more like family than guests and spoilt us. Unfortunately our trip was only short. However we intend on returning with more family members and book the whole place and definitely stay longer than a weekend. We received a phone call shortly after our arrival time just to make sure that we were not experiencing any... More

We stayed at Hillside for three days in the middle of April. A really relaxing place with clean and comfortable rooms and beds. Rich breakfast. Blair, the kind host, made really us feel at home. The panorama is something unbelievable. Would really recommend it.

We stayed at Hillside on 2nd March. Would really recommend it. Clean comfortable room, excellent breakfast and our host went out of his way to make us feel welcome, We were attending a party and when we asked about a taxi he said he would drive us there himself which was brilliant. We will definitely stay there again. Ray and... More

Our first night's stay in Northern Ireland, October, 2012, couldn't have been better. At the Hillside B&B rooms were beautifully appointed and amenities, superlative. Owner Blair Vernon’s hospitality was beyond anything we’d expected. Tired and lost in Newry, we called him several times for directions, and finally he drove into town centre and escorted us to near-Nirvana. Breakfast was the... More

We were visiting relatives in the area - there are not a lot of choices. This was only 5 minutes from town and easy to find. Clean. Friendly owner (just recently purchased). A VERY good value (USD50) including breakfast.
