Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Located in a very scenic coastal location this is a fantastic place to stay. The rooms are spotless, the restaurant meals are a treat and the bar is an old-fashioned Irish delight. Most of all though is the friendliness of the staff in making you...feel welcome and sparing time for a chat. Enjoy your stay.More

We’re just back from a 2 day break at Rostrevor inn. It’s a fabulous place offering drinks ( local as well) in a cosy wee pub with a fire and live music. The dinner and breakfasts we had were all delicious too. Great location for...exploring kilbroney and the mournes too😎More

Liaising with the Rostrevor Inn for the Dunn's Night dinner on 1st August was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Manager, Bart, expertly guided me through preparations for a meal involving up to 62 people. The food, presentation and service on the night was...tip top! Looking forward to this becoming an annual event on the first Tuesday of August.More

The pub group was very good. The seafood chowder was interesting and very well cooked. Overall the place makes a really good effort.

Booked for an overnight stay. Check in was quick and professional. The room was small but had all we needed. It was clean and functional with a comfortable bed. The adjoining bar was very nice and well priced. The barman was friendly as were the...patrons. It was at breakfast where my only complaint arose. Service was very slow and when my fry arrived it was overdone. The wait for the fry was that long that the tea I had poured was pretty cold when the food arrived. The reputation of this place is pretty good. Maybe we just caught them on a bad morning although at breakfast they were not that busy.More

Dreadful breakfast. One of worst I've ever had. Greasy over cooked. There's no excuse for making a bad breakfast. Bacon, eggs tomato, toast what's complicated about that. I'd love to know who is writing the great reviews for this place on TripAdvisor cause whoever runs...TripAdvisor would need to go to some of these places to get more of an accurate rating.More

I I booked the Rostrevor Inn to celebrate my birthday with a group (25) of family and friends. We made use of the accommodation, had a celebratory dinner and enjoyed the ‘craic’ in Crawford’s bar. The whole event was a real success. The accommodation was...comfortable, the customer service excellent and last, but by no means least the food for our large group of hungry guests was absolutely delicious! Everything ran smoothly thanks to the efficiency of all the staff who gave us their full attention and genuine warmth. A big thank you to all the team! PS. I recommend the hake sourced locally:)More

I went for the slow roasted pork belly. The dish had so much cream sauce that it looked more like a soup. The sauce was overpowering and couldn’t really taste any other flavours. Didn’t finish as I wasn’t enjoying it. Staff didn’t check back on...table. Wouldn’t rush back.More

We went at this restaurant because of the good reviews, and because it was within walking distance from our B&B. We LOVE fish. The taste of the sea of fresh fish is sublime! Why covering it with strong flavor sauces?! It’s a waste… So we...asked for our “Fillet of hake with tiger prawns” WITHOUT SAUCES. It came WITHOUT PRAWNS TOO… Ok, no worries, we didn’t want to bother about that. BUT, on our way back to the B&B, we realized that WE PAID FOR THE PRAWS THAT WE DIDN’T EAT!!! We had just arrived in Ireland from another country, and we were very tired from the trip, so not that much in the mood of coming back to discuss the matter… Anyway, we’re not stating that they did so in bad faith… but certainly there was a fault in sharing information between kitchen and cashier, and this should not happen in such a renowned (and high-priced) restaurant… Moreover, the wine was very very expensive! And food overpriced in relation the their quality. Yet, we’ll change our rating from 2 to 3, only because we too should have checked the bill…More
