The Downshire Arms Hilltown

The Downshire Arms Hilltown History The Downshire Arms first opened to the public in 1824. By the 1970’s though, the building had been allowed to fall into dereliction.

Sixty years on, The Handbook Guide to Carlingford Bay, described it as a ‘comfortable well kept Coaching Inn’. Fortunately, it has since been rescued and restored by it’s current owners and refurbished to an excellent standard, providing guests with modern comforts without compromising the charm and character of its distinguished past. The Downshire management are still striving to ensure that tra

vellers in the Mournes will find The Downshire Arms a comfortable and well kept place to stay. The Present Day
Although no longer classified as an Hotel, The Downshire Arms’ facilities are second to none. The stylishly designed Bar and Restaurant are complimented by seven self-catering courtyard apartments (originally the stable block) and two function rooms, one with a spacious terrace. There is musical entertainment every weekend and don’t be surprised if, whilst sitting in the bar, someone starts playing a whistle or fiddle. It’s that kind of place. Coach parties are welcome by prior arrangement.

Tickets are now available for 'The Man in The Woman's Shoes'. This is Irish theatre at its very best. Mikel Murfi's ability to morph into different characters at the drop of a hat (or the donning of a shoe) is spellbinding, never mind the wit, wisdom and tenderness he packs into this one-man play.
