Breaks in Newry – Newry Hotels
Posted February 9, 2010 by BookingBuddy
The imminent arrival of spring seems like the perfect time for a visit to the Emerald Isle. The beautiful city of Newry makes an ideal spot for a family break, as there’s something for everyone. Its wonderful streets are full of historic buildings, and it has a reputation as one of the best shopping cities in Northern Ireland.
Stay
Canal Court Hotel – This luxurious four-star hotel overlooks Newry’s scenic canal, and is just a quick hop to the city’s well-known shopping districts. The impressive façade hides a multitude of equally impressive rooms – even the standard rooms are delightfully spacious and beautifully decorated. The Serenity Spa makes a wonderful retreat for guests who need to unwind after a long day traipsing around the city. Room rates start at about £150.
See
Newry Canal – This mid-18th century canal still sees lots of traffic along its length, but these days, it is more likely to come from picnicking families and eager cyclists then barges ferrying goods around. The canal has not been used commercially since the 1930s, and wildlife has since reclaimed much of it. The broad towpath is now part of the National Cycle Network, and the sturdy granite locks are still in great condition.
Shop
The Quays – Newry is renowned for its fantastic shopping, so why not pay a visit to one of the most popular shopping destinations in the city while you’re there? There’s a rather large cinema on the premises for those of you who prefer not to walk around spending money all day. The sheer multitude of shops in the complex can make a person rather hungry, so thank goodness there are also several cafes and restaurants onsite for when you need some fuel.
