Self Catering Cottages Open, Anna Long
A new cluster of five self catering cottages developed with assistance from Invest NI has opened in Annalong, County Down.
Tourism and Enterprise Minister Arlene Foster has opened the new Kribben Cottages, which have achieved four-star accreditation from the Northern Ireland Tourist Board.
Minister Foster said: "If our tourism industry is to achieve the challenging objectives set in the Northern Ireland Executive’s economic strategy, it is imperative that projects and accommodation such as this are in place.
"Kribben Cottages really represent a tremendous vote of confidence in the future of tourism in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty rich in tradition and heritage, and boasting unparalleled access to a number of stand-out attractions such as Spelga Dam, Silent Valley and, of course, the Mournes."
Kribben Cottages has benefited from design advice from Invest NI to rebrand the business, which was previously called Dunnywater Cottages.
Invest NI’s support towards the construction of the cottages was announced in 2012.
