KILLYLEAGH’S Dufferin Coaching Inn and Hall is celebrating a decade of business success.
The anniversary comes after a significant investment of more than £10,000 in the newly refurbished Dufferin Hall and being recognised as one of the best places to stay in Ireland in the 2015 McKenna’s Guide.
Well-known locally, the seven bedroom Dufferin Coaching Inn has acted as an iconic building in the community for over 200 years, serving first as an Ulster Bank and later being converted into a guest house and reception space.
Reflecting on her small business’s big successes, owner and operator Leontine Haines said: “Our accommodation has become a firm favourite with guests ranging from filmmakers to businesspeople and tourists who pass through Killyleagh and its surrounding areas, and I am delighted that this has been recognised through our listing in McKenna’s Guide.
“Our recent investment in Dufferin Hall has enabled us to update our facilities to be more in line with today’s visitor’s tastes and requirements while at the same time keeping the look and feel of our quaint accommodation.”
