I have been told Newry is lovely with very nice people and lots of shopping

motel.co.uk is pretty good for NI accomadation.

Please don't take this the wrong way, but can't your family advise you of the best place to stay? I know if i want advice about southern ireland my cousin usually insists on helping me as he is already over there.

Joaut this is not southern Ireland

Yeah i know, but he lives like 10 mins from the boarder, the same as his brother in the north and i'm sure his brother would find out some info for me if i was going to visit them?

I thought that's why we had these boards! To help each other

I don't dispute that, and i did start it with a please don't take this the wrong way. All I was trying to say was that as they live in the area and that their are so many of them to travelling that the persons relatives might be able to recommend a suitable place.

I give up.

Paddy good luck with your trip and I hope you find a comfortable place for you and your family to stay.

I love it over there and find the people nice and friendly, but then I probably would anyway as they are either friends or family.

Hope you have a great time, though i'm sure you will.
