A familiar landmark for generations of Ulsterfolk, The Ivanhoe was a popular meeting place for the local community and a stopping point for travellers on their way to Downpatrick and Newcastle. Originally known as The Halfway House, the old inn has been totally modernised to meet the demands of today`s discerning travellers, yet retains the ambience of a family run hostelry.

The Ivanhoe’s newly refurbished Bistro and Bar offers a wide-ranging menu for enjoyable dining - from a full Breakfast to fresh scones with preserves and coffee or a full four-course meal. The Kitchen now boasts a Rotisserie and Char grill to tempt the taste buds. Daily Lunch and Dinner Specials are available at very reasonable prices
