Fodor's "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." Full review
Frommer's "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." Full review
