Annie's Cottage is one of four cottages that make up Rosevale Farm Cottages. Located in an idyllic country setting, this property provides an authentic atmosphere of bygone days with period features having been tastefully combined with a number of modern conveniences.

Completely refurbished, this cottage originates in the 18th Century when Rosevale Farm was the home of workers from the Sharman Crawford Estate of which it was then a part. The surrounding fields are currently grazed by rare Irish breeds. Due to the nature of the property all the cottages are strictly no smoking and no pets.

Within 1 mile is the picture-postcard village of Crawfordsburn, home to the oldest inn in Ireland, dating back to 1614. Crawfordsburn Inn has been frequented over the years by such illustrious figures as Peter the Great, Tsar of Russia, legendary highwayman Dick Turpin, former US President George Bush (Senior) and even C.S. Lewis who spent his holidays here.

Just behind the inn is Crawfordsburn Country Park. This five-and-a-half acre park offers quiet walkways, beach and car parking facilities. Pedestrian access can be gained by pathways behind the Inn. The visitor centre offers wildlife exhibitions and audio-visual presentations. The golden beach attracts thousands of bathers and sun worshippers throughout the summer. There are several marked walks including the Glen Walk which follows the Crawford's Burn up through woodland and under a gigantic five arch railway viaduct to the beautiful waterfall.

The nearest town is Bangor, a maritime resort with an impressive history of monastic settlements dating back to the sixth century. Five minutes' drive will take you into town where you will enjoy sight-seeing, shopping and a mouth-watering array of excellent restaurants.

The lively city of Belfast lies just over ten miles along the shores of Belfast Lough. The city offers all the facilities demanded of tourists on a city break. New shopping precincts, restaurants and centres of entertainment are springing up all the time.

Despite the proximity of these thriving centres, the cottages nestle in an area of rural tranquillity where the bustle of everyday life seems a million miles away.
