"Set in the village of Crawfordsburn, this 1614 coach inn, reputedly Ireland's oldest, certainly looks the part: it's pure 17th-century with a sculpted thatch roof, half doors, and leaded-glass windows."

"You can stay in one of the large, beautifully decorated rooms, many with polished wood floors and some with excellent antiques, or isolate yourself in the private cottage."
