I was the Photographer at a wedding in nearby Ballynahinch so me and my Wife chose the Mulberrys B&B for a two night stay. As soon as we arrived we were greeted at the door by the Proprietor Isobel, who made us feel right at home from the start. Once in, she showed us to our room and then brought us tea/coffee to the very comfortable lounge/dining room. We were immediately at ease in her company and straight away it felt like we were at home. Isobel spent a considerable time chatting us so as to get to know us, and allowed us to get to know her without any pushiness, She had that knack of making you feel a part of the family which adds to the initial experience of entering someone else's home for the first time. Good Points. Parking is ample. Easy to find. Ideal location which whilst in the heart of the County Down Countryside, is very close to essential amenities such as pubs, shops, restaurants, petrol stations etc which are just down the road in Crosgar! Entrance Hall/Corridor to bedrooms & dining room was very clean, bright & airy. Bedroom: Welcoming, comfortable & bright and cleaned to a very high standard. Bed was comfortable and the tea/coffee facilities were exactly what you would expect from a 'Top Drawer' B&B. Fresh drinking water was supplied along side the tea making facilities. Ensuite: Very very clean and comfortable and towels etc were of a particular high standard. Nothing could be faulted at all. Lounge/Dining Room: There is a slight international theme to the lounge/dining area, and this room is bright, airy and very inviting. The dining area is roomy. Breakfast: There is a choice of a Continental or Cooked 'Traditional Ulster' Breakfast, (or both depending on your appetite) the latter of which is cooked fresh to order, and YOU get to choose what goes on your plate, which is why you don't mind waiting that extra few minutes for it to arrive well presented on your table. Overall the Mullberrys is a very inviting and relaxing place to stay, and whilst set in a rural location, isn't far off the main road, the grounds are beautiful and birds and young rabbits can be seen in and around the front driveway from the lounge/dining room. This was our first time staying here and whilst it was primarily chosen for business purposes and for location to the venue, rest assured my Wife and I will make a return for purely leisure purposes in the very near future. Now the bad points. Oh sorry, there aren't any! Dang! "Thank you Isobel for a very warm welcome into your home, and for the 5* hospitality you so kindly bestowed upon us during our two night/three day stay at your lovely residence." *Our stay was from 3rd - 5th August 2023, so very recent!* Therefore, We Highly Recommend 'The Mulberrys' B&B, Crosgar, County Down.
