This will bring the total number of Northern Ireland properties in the Blue Book to six.
The Old Inn, The Old Inn, dating back to 1614, is labelled as one of the region’s most historic hotels due in part to its links with author and 20th Century Literary icon C.S. Lewis.

The Restaurant is perfect for romantic evenings and ideal for refuelling after energetic adventures, offering a seasonal menu that marries homely classics with modern dining.
