The Old Inn

Idyllic little hideaway tucked between Belfast and Banger. Met at the door by Stuart, greeted by an open fire and check in was warm, friendly and set the tone. The staff make this place, everyone so friendly and it all feels homely. Rooms spotless, really cosy and prefect for a recharge. Spa is nice feature and the ability to order drinks from Anywhere is a nice feature. The relaxation room, warmed by a log burner looking out at the forest is a great switch off. (Possible maybe have a few more books available for guests to look at) The bar is full of character and the music at night was spot on and added to a lovely atmosphere. Breakfast the next morning, finished the stay off in style, really great fresh, healthy choices and really well presented and seating spaced out. We were both very impressed and we will be back. Just to note you will need plugs for chargers for rooms as there is no usb sockets (thanks reception for sorting this out)

Beautiful building from the outside and warm a welcoming staff, from reception to bar and waiting. First but definitely not the last stay here. Dog friendly, and I think our two dogs were made to feel as welcome if not more than us. Genuinely, any staff interaction we had was top class, from Gavin in the bar to the ladies on reception ( sorry we never got your names) and the rest of the waiting staff. We'll be looking forward to staying longer next time

This is the 3rd time we have stayed in The Old Inn & as usual everything was excellent from the front desk staff to the waiters bar staff & room cleaners could not have had a more memorable experience.

Exquisite hotel with fun amenities! We loved relaxing at the spa.

Had a lovely weekend at the old inn crawfordsburn enjoyed the spa the bar was homely the food both nights was excellent as was the breakfasts staff were friendly would definitely return

Lovely breakfast and friendly staff. Very relaxing stay.

Spa pool was always busy and same people stayed in it for over the 15 minutes stated. Should be timed or staff walking around checking it as couldn't get in the afternoon we were there. to later in evening at busy periods..

I had the most wonderful spa day yesterday with my friend, and I just had to share how amazing it was! My therapist, Lucy, was absolutely fantastic, so professional, friendly, and skilled. Her massage and facial were both of an exceptionally high standard, leaving me completely relaxed and refreshed. You can tell she really cares about her clients and takes pride in her work. I would definitely recommend booking with Lucy, you won’t be disappointed! I’ll definitely be returning soon.

Went for Sunday lunch (X2 adults, X1 child) at a later serving to ensure it wasn't too busy. Had to wait to get seated even though we arrived at the time of our reservation. Main course was just a about acceptable. To note Yorkshire Pudding tasted unpleasant like a wet cloth and the kids option lacked any presentation and featured a sea of salty fries which was disappointing as added salt should always be a choice especially for kids!!! The main issue was the service....had to ask multiple times where our drinks were and then had to wait 45 MINUTES between getting the table cleared and being able to get our dessert order taken. By this point it wasn't even busy and we had piled our plates up at the side of the table to give the hint we were finished. After 45mins and multiple times of asking for a dessert menu and getting ignored we were getting ready to leave when finally someone took our dessert order. After another 20mins wait dessert arrived. Kids cookie was inedible again tasting like a damp cloth. Apple crumble also inedible so needless to say after spending over £100 on lunch we will not be back. Quality of service has definitely declined after change in management. Disappointing!!
