The first thing about Ballynahinch Castle, is that it is a couple of kilometres from the nearest main road and so is very quiet. it is also set in beautiful woodlands with manicured gardens, shrubberies, by a rushing river with great walks. It is very easy to just relax and forget that the there are other places to see in... More

This is one very special place! From the moment you arrive you are feel made so welcome it's impossible not to relax. The roads around the immediate vicinity are so quiet (as they don't really go anywhere!) that you can walk around for hours without seeing a car, and that's if you decide to leave the grounds! The ambiance of... More

Our love affair with Ballynahinch began a long time ago. We'd booked there for our first trip to Ireland and unfortunately there was a mix-up with the first night of our stay. As a result, our booking for that night was changed to another country house hotel in the area. That one was beautiful and our upgraded room was stunning... More

We love this place in the winter. Superb log fires, lovely views from bedroom, good walks and great food. There's always a genuine welcome and there are really good deals in wintertime. Dinner was excellent and a wide selection of good wines. We needed to check out a little later than standard but this was no problem. More

My husband and I stayed here two nights during our 25th anniversary trip to Ireland. Everything was perfect. Our room was large, beautiful and had an awesome river view. The food was excellent. The grounds provided for a great 8 mile hike and the surrounding Connemara region was outstanding for a day trip the included Kylemore Abbey, Renvyle Castle and... More

There is absolutely nothing bad to say about Ballynahinch. We stayed in June, 2011, and I have been intending to write something about it ever since, because the experience was so positive.The room was lovely, the setting was gorgeous, the service was warm and welcoming, without being in any way intrusive, the food was delicious, and food service was impeccable....

I could not do Ballynahinch the disservice of attempting to sum up its charms and worthiness in one sentence. This castle is my home away from home and season after season I return with a group of eagerly anticipating friends. I never require a calendar to tell me what time of year it is. Christmas comes with subtle decorations of... More

I stayed here a few years ago to celebrate my 60th birthday, I couldn't have chosen a better place. A great mix of sophisticated & relaxed at the same time. The staff were, without fail, wonderful. The restaurant has one of the greatest views I know, which combined with very good service & excellent food, makes for a memorable occasion.... More
