Afternoon Tea at Newforge House in Craigavon

Wonderful stay and amazing breakfast.

My family and I have stayed at Newforge House twice for two family celebrations. It is a really beautiful place, so beautiful it is quite hard to leave! There is so much to love about Newforge House. The house and the gardens are gorgeous. However, what really makes this location stand out for us are the people at Newforge House. The food is also absolutely delicious and the dining room is the perfect backdrop for any special family celebration. We are looking forward to coming back again next summer!

We had an amazing overnight stay in the Pickering room. A stunning room with en suite overlooking the large garden (with fabulous bath!). John is an amazing host (as are his staff). He gave us a quick tour on arrival with a brief history of the house. Hospitality is second to none and every detail is well thought out, down to the delicious homemade shortbread and biscuits, made by John's wife. The breakfast was simply perfect! We both had the smoked salmon with scrambled eggs. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Brilliant experience. John and the team at Newforge are excellent hosts. The property and the grounds itself are stunning but undoubtedly it’s the food that elevates this place. It’s on another level, would highly recommend

Wonderful stay, beautiful house and garden, the service was next to none and so friendly. Food was next level.

What a pleasure to stay here. John and his team are so welcoming, the food is absolutely amazing , especially the brown bread, the room was beautiful and huge with an equally large unsuite. Both rooms had big windows overlooking the gardens. There is no conventional hotel bar as such instead a very extensive and very reasonably priced drinks selection is served in the drawing room/front parlour before dinner at 8pm. Breakfast is probably the best I've ever eaten. Thank you all so much.

Just had our second stay at Newforge, which was as as great as the first. Lovely house, staff, grounds and great food from John. We highly recommend.

Beautiful house with wonderful relaxing atmosphere and superb rooms. The food, especially at dinner is outstanding, and all staff are lovely and provide a top class service.

limited menu but every course locally sourced and beautifully cooked. Mainly couples dining but will do a table for four.

We had dinner at Newforge House during our stay there and it was truly delicious. A very tasty appetizer Follower by an excellent fish main course and chocolate cake as Dessert. John has a very good selection of wine, too. Obviously when you stay at Newforge dinner there is a must.

So delighted to have had an opportunity to partake in a weekend of breakfasts and an evening meal here in an amazing place in the North of Ireland. We are so lucky to live within a hairs breath of this Magical Place with amazing produce and amazing chefs like John who are passionate about what they do and how they do it!! Don't waste time..just book it and enjoy!! We are sorry we didn't do something like this a long time ago!!!

Asistimos a una comida de negocios, hace algunos meses y fue una experiencia super. La comida era muy bonita y el entorno agradable. El personal eficiente, educado y servicial.

John, el propietario, y las personas que trabajan en Newforge no podría ser mejor ni más servicial. Usted mencionó algo y que milagrosamente apareció.

The Guild of Agricultural Journalists lunch at Newforge House proved a memorable experience. Excellent food, surroundings and service. This five star guesthouse offers a taste of Georgian country life and a taste of the very best of food from the farms and fields of Northern Ireland. Located in a stunning landscape yet only 15 mins max from the main motorway network no wonder it is so popular with tourists and those visting this part of the UK on business. The ladies serving the food making it feel as though we were guests in a family home.

I had afternoon tea in a group of 4 and we had a wonderful time. Everything on our tea tray was beautiful. The surroundings really made this experience fantastic. I highly recommend and cannot wait to come back.

our neighbours who are frequent diners at this restaurant gave us a voucher for christmas. we decided to use it last weekend as we had nothing better to do and were very pleasantly suprised!! The restaurant is set in a beautiful Georgian house in its own grounds- it would be a superb setting for a small wedding. We were greeted by friendly staff who led us into the comfortable lounge until our meal was ready. the standard of the food was excellent and made with local produce, the service was great, not too polished or pretentious. we would go back anytime for dinner.

Had a fantastic Afternoon Tea at Newforge House today. We were greeted by a lovely lady who was very helpful and friendly. We has a very refreshing glass of wine followed by great tasting tea, divine food and excellent service. A real treat and perfect day out..............
