the Christmas and New Year Events

may your days
be merry & bright
03
A celebration
of 400 years
of history
since 1614
There really is nowhere like The Old Inn at
Christmas Time. For four hundred years we
have been opening our doors to visitors,
along the ancient highway from the
Holywood Priory to the Parent Abbey in
Bangor. The Old Inn’s special features,
including real open fires, snug and cosy rooms
and an outdoor open fire in the fully covered
gazebo, make The Old Inn simply unique.
Unique four star indulgence.
04
Victorian Tea
this Christmas
The quiet intimacy of The Old Inn is the ideal hideaway for morning
coffee or traditional afternoon tea. Sink happily into a comfortable
chair pulled up to a cosy fire and enjoy a cup of Earl Grey, dainty finger
sandwiches and a selection of confections and pastries.
Choose from a selection of finger sandwiches served on
brown and white breads and help yourself to an assortment
of confections and pastries.
