A well-known boutique hotel and restaurant on Northern Ireland’s north coast has unexpectedly closed its doors, leaving the local community and visitors shocked.
Me & Mrs Jones, a 4-star boutique hotel and wine bar located at The Diamond in Portstewart, has posted a notice on its premises stating ‘Hotel Closed until further notice’, citing ‘entering into a refurbishment project for upgrades’.
The closure notice, which appeared within the past 24 hours, has raised eyebrows among locals, particularly given the hotel’s history. This is not the first time the plush 20-bedroom property has shut its doors. First opened in 2012, the hotel closed shortly after, with the owners later re-launching it.
Known for its quirky, ultra-modern décor and emphasis on locally sourced cuisine, Me & Mrs Jones had built a strong reputation as a luxury lifestyle destination. Its offering included 16 double rooms and four twin suites, each suite featuring two king-sized beds, alongside amenities like a stylish bar and beer garden.
