Lovely hospitality. Great breakfast. Relaxing, homely environment in a great rural location for exploring East Co Down, as well as being a short drive from all the attractions of Belfast
The Old Schoolhouse Inn was one of the nicest places that we have stayed at. It was in a beautiful and quiet area run by a lovely couple who couldn't do enough for us, they looked after us so well. we hope to return there again.
Very friendly and helpful hosts, good location, close to Belfast but very rural, comfortable room, fabulous breakfast, plenty of parking and exactly what we hoped it would be.
