| A classic 17th
Century Coaching Inn, the Old Inn is an elegant throw back to a past age,
situated in the quiet town of Crawfordsburn just outside Belfast in Northern
Ireland.
Established in 1614, the Old Inn has played host to highwaymen
and presidents, Russian tsars and movie stars and has had nearly 400 years
to perfect the art of hospitality. This clearly shows in the hotel’s
old world charm; a historic property with beautifully kept original features,
such as thatched roof, and timber façade, low timber ceilings,
blazing log fires and antique furnishings in the gracious salon and traditional
bar.
Like the inn itself, each of the bedrooms is completely
individual. Many are grand, charming rooms with an abundance of character,
boasting wood panelling, lavish beds and some four posters hung with sumptuous
fabrics. Interesting little corners are filled with antique furnishings;
fine old windows are framed with elegant brocade and the rooms are fitted
with all the modern conveniences. For that extra luxury and privacy, the
Old Inn also has a cosy Cottage within its grounds; furnished with high
timbered ceilings, lattice paned windows, a fabulous real fireplace in
the sitting room and a luxurious bedroom with a grand, four-poster bed.
The hotel’s award winning 1614 Restaurant provides
stately surroundings for fine dining. With an extensive menu of Irish
and international cuisine drawing on such specialties as locally reared
lamb and beef and fresh seafood from the nearby fishing ports along the
County Down coast. For less formal dining there is the Parlour Bar and
Churn Bistro set amidst old mahogany panelling, exposed brickwork and
cosy fires, the perfect setting for a carefully poured pint.
The Old Inn is well located for exploring County Down
and the city of Belfast and for golfers there are several excellent courses
in close proximity, including the Royal Belfast.
