A very enjoyable stay
Pros:

The old inn is a really unique hotel, I’ve never stayed anywhere like it! The hotel is beautiful and really captures the history of the building. The rooms are done tastefully and the spa is top tier. We had dinner in the restaurant and we were very impressed. Very much enjoyed our stay and we look forward to coming back.

Cons:

The rooms aren’t sound proofed well so we could hear other rooms open/close doors

Nice hotel with good staff will definitely be back
Pros:

Was nice and clean, staff were friendly, in a nice area with plenty of parking.

Cons:

Only thing lets it down is the price of drinks. £8 a pint is ridiculous

A charming traditional hostelry that is ideally located for touring the Ards peninsula.
Pros:

The Old Inn is an historic hostelry located in a small village close to the north coast of County Down. There is an easily accessible adjacent coastal walk that runs along the south side of Belfast Lough with views of the estuary and further south to the Mourne mountains. The staff at reception, looking after the bedrooms, in the dining room and in the bar are all unfailingly warm, courteous and helpful. The menus for breakfast and dinner are varied and draw on local produce and tradition - try the whiskey flavoured porridge at breakfast.

1 night stay
Pros:

A first class welcome for my wife and I at reception from the staff. Very friendly and informative. We were in an upstairs room that was beautiful yes but so small there was nowhere to unpack our overnight bags so we had to tiptoe around them. We both went to the pool,it was brilliant as was sauna and steam room. Drinks can be ordered from poolside and they are delivered to you .we went to the bar for a meal that evening ordered two drinks and the girl said she would be back to take our food order , after thirty minutes I went to the bar and ordered our own food. The food was excellent but the service was slow and nonexistent and drink prices are also expensive. I don't think we will go back there to be honest
