Corick Country House

Head west from Belfast towards Co. Tyrone's Clogher Valley to find this listed 17th Century retreat. The rural setting evokes a charming, away-from-it all ambience, and you can overnight in either the original House or sympathetically-extended New Wing. Whichever you choose, each luxury en-suite room oozes understated elegance with warm tones, period furniture and verdant views. Or you can up the luxe with a stay in the modern or traditional suite - we're talking four poster bed, chandelier and original bay windows in the latter. The best local produce, including Aberdeen Angus from Corick's own stock, features on the Carleton Restaurant menu. While the Blackwater Grill Bar and cosy lounge exude a gentrified yet informal alternative. A selection of equally refined event suites accommodate 12-400 guests, making Corick a popular wedding and conference destination.
