Positioned on the Carlingford Lough waterfront, The Lough & Quay makes a convenient overnight base for golfers travelling between Dublin and Belfast. Its town-centre seafront location offers easy road access from the M1 and straightforward links to the Mourne Mountains, Kilbroney Forest Park and other scenic driving routes that often connect to several regional courses. Rooms are offered on a room-only basis, and a ground-floor gastropub provides evening meals and drinks without leaving the building—useful after long days on the course. The property also advertises a selection of dog-friendly rooms and can arrange late or self-service check-in for arrivals outside desk hours. For golfers planning multiple rounds, the hotel’s central position and practical facilities make it a low-friction choice for relaxed, flexible itineraries along County Down’s coastline.
