We stayed in May for 3days for our wedding anniversary. I have to say there is not enough positive words in the dictionary to describe how please we were and how great an experience we had. The setting is amazing. Our room was in the old part of the castle with windows over looking the river, the first morning I pulled back the curtains to see an otter playing in the river, we were thrilled. The breakfast that was offered to us each morning was nothing less than fit for a king. The selection with regards the cooked breakfast and buffet selection was unbeleivable. Even the natrual yoghurt was out of this world. Just when the thought it couldn't get any better it did. The evening meal was nothing less that a gatronomically delight each evening, I personally would have been happy with the home made bread basket all to myself. I did not realise that it was posible to get food to taste or look that good. Some sections of the menu changed each night which was good.
The walking and views around the estate and surrounding area were excellent, with walks for every level of walker. The staff in the hotel did their upmost to ensure that your stay was truely magical. Sitting beside the open fires at night after dinner was just an added bonus.
We have since been to other four star hotels but none of them have been able to compare to Ballynahinch Castle. Cant wait to get back.
