Blending the sophistication of a modern, award winning 4 Star Hotel with the traditional trappings of an historic coaching inn dating back to 1614, this striking hotel provides a unique destination for the discerning traveller.
Spacious, impeccably styled bedrooms boast flat screen TV's, goose down duvets, and power showers, whilst a range of period themed four poster suites provide delightful views over the hotel gardens and Crawfordsburn Country Park. Famed as unique and beautiful among boutique hotels in Northern Ireland, the tranquil setting of The Old Inn makes us not only an ideal Co Down wedding venue, but also the perfect retreat for both business, leisure, or an exciting Belfast City break with a difference.
Dining in the award winning 2 AA Rosette Lewis Restaurant provides a treat for food lovers at lunch and dinner thanks to a range of innovative seasonal menus that showcase carefully cooked local produce. Guests can also relax with a generous Victorian Afternoon Tea in front of roaring fires in the timeless Parlour Bar, whilst the extensive breakfast menu typically includes the popular Ulster Fry.
The Old Inn is conveniently located just 10 minutes from Belfast City Airport whilst enjoying a beautiful rural setting just one mile from the sea, Crawfordsburn Country Park, and the breathtaking North Down Coastal Path.
As you retire for the night, enjoy the charming surroundings of your home from home. Each of our 32 bedrooms and Romantic Cottage have their own unique charm and character. Tastefully furnished, with the grandeur of antiques and artefacts, wood panelled walls, the luxury of some of our carved and canopied beds or the simple cosy style of an old country inn, the rooms also accommodate the requirements of modern technology.
