Clandeboye Lodge is delighted to have been awarded ‘4-Star Hotel of the Year 2023’ at the Georgina Campbell Irish Food and Hospitality Awards, which took place in Dublin last week.

Celebrating 25 years, the awards this year focused particularly on “genuine hospitality, consistency, innovation, and good value”. Described by Georgina Campbell as a “comfortable, privately owned, contemporary, four-star hotel near Bangor, the Clandeboye Lodge’s exceptionally warm and helpful reception team, welcoming fire, plentiful seating areas and stylish foyer, creates a good impression that carries throughout the hotel”.

Referencing the Clandeboye Lodge’s Coq & Bull brasserie, Georgina Campbell commented on the “stylish design and ‘destination restaurant’ ambience”, adding that the Clandeboye Lodge is “just the spot for guests who appreciate understated excellence”.

Commenting on the award, Clandeboye Lodge General Manager Ian Smith said, “Clandeboye Lodge and its team are honoured to be recognised as an industry leader, pioneering a passion for genuine hospitality, delivered with style, excellence, craftmanship and luxury”.

Situated in Bangor, Co. Down, adjacent to peaceful coatal paths, winding roads and woodland walks, Clandeboye Lodge is a haven for those wishing to relax and reconnect with nature. Their renowned Coq & Bull brasserie is a gateway to the taste of Northern Ireland.

Georgina Campbell is a founding member and former Chairman of the Irish Food Writers Guild, a member of Britain’s Guild of Food Writers and a member of the International Slow Food Movement.
