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.

We booked a relaxing weekend away and that is exactly what we got. We did not want to move around too much, just relaxed in the fab athmosphere that is Ballynahinch Castle. The food is fantastic, had a casual meal int he Bar on Friday and had another fantastic meal in the dining room on saturday. Breakfast was lovely and all the staff we met were wonderful. Dessie & Patrick please pass on our thanks, keep upt he good work.

Our first night in Ireland was spent at Ballynahinch and we can't wait to go back! The castle is gorgeous, our room was the most luxurious and comfortable of our trip, and the staff was extremely helpful.There are many walking paths with gorgeous views. The food was outstanding. Everything about our experience at Ballynahinch was perfect! If you are planning a trip to Ireland, this is one place that is not to be missed!

I wished I could have stayed a few more nights!

The Ballynahinch Castle Hotel is a wonderful place to stay when you want comfort while feeling as though you've traveled back in time. The room I had was small compared to a regular luxury hotel, but that was part of the charm. The view was fantastic! The room had all the amenities I needed, as well as a cushioned window seat - nice touch!

The quiet hotel grounds provide many beautiful paths to explore along a wide rushing stream, a quiet stream, a big lake, and through the woods. I always made sure to spend time enjoying the grounds before and after each day of exploring the local areas.

The food was very good! I especially enjoyed the fresh caught fish of the day, and a dessert that was the most artful and most delicious I've ever had in my life!!! Sometimes I wish I had photographed it! Breakfast in the gorgeous dining room, sitting at one of the many giant windows looking out on the beautiful grounds and stream was a wonderful and pleasurable experience. I took my time enjoying every bite of breakfast, and every sip of tea. A great way to start the day!

The staff was polite, respectful and ready to help.

The Ballynahinch is in a great location to stay at for touring the areas from the Doo Lough Valley to Clifden, through Roundstone and farther south.

I will definitely stay there again!
