McGuinness' Bar in Culdaff

19/02/2025: Sad, sad news of hotel closure. First stayed at Mc Grory's as a 9 year old child, while holidaying with my parents and family. Nostalgic return trip Valentine's weekend 2025, as a 72 year old. The picnic tables outside are new but the traditional long benches are a feature I vividly remember from the early 60s. Culdaff beach is still stunning and unspoilt. We were first guests to check in to the hotel at 12.30 pm on Friday 14 February as the hotel re-opened after renovations. The welcome by the staff was warm and special with a glass of 'bubbles' to add to the experience. The valentine meal offer that evening was exceptional value and the food was very tasty. The rooms have been refreshed. The hotel is a very welcoming place where new friends are frequently and easily made. The hotel was busy with everyone in good form. There was no sense of the impending closure. Sad to reflect that we were probably the last guests to check out on Sunday 16th. The Mc Grory's name is synonymous with Culdaff. Hope it remains. Best wishes to the staff. Paul Devlin
