Beautifully furnished rooms in old lodge, set in the countryside with mountain views. Spacious room with sitting area and small modern ensuite. Very welcoming hostess. Fantastic breakfast. Can walk from lodge through woods to Lough Mask. Short drive to Clonbur, with several pubs to choose from for dinner.

What an amazing place! Set in acres of countryside between Cong and Clonbur is an imposing stone house.It's old-fashioned in a good sense. It's filled with antique this and that,like being in a grand country house; shades of Downton Abbey or something! Our room was palatial,with an enormous bed with about half a dozen pillows each and the most beautiful... More

I've stayed in many B&Bs and I must say, Ballykine is certainly one of the finest. Part of what used to be the Guiness family's estate, the house itself once belonged to the gamekeeper.

The rates at Ballykine are €35 per night sharing and €45 single occupation and have been the same for a number of years. I suspect that the complainants contacted Renvyle House Hotel in... More

We have just popped up without prior reservation, and soonly realized that it was the last resort for us. During our last three days in Ireland, we have been continuously in Ann's attentive care. That was definitely discreet and very polite. We would recommend Ballykine House for all people who love the nature, walk in the country, and appreciate calm... More
