Not the castle of your dreams
Unfortunately, hospitality is not their strong suit however the grounds were enchanting. Both reception and dining staff were stiff and cold. Stayed two floors down from the main level and moldy smell detracted from the lovely room.

Amazing anniversary
We first heard of Ballynahinch from a video on old Irish castles, so it was nice to see it with our own eyes. Despite staying for only one night in a Luxury double room with a river view, we truly enjoyed our time there. The room was really spacious, with the huge bathroom being preceded by a walk-in closet and also having both a walk-in shower and a bathtub. Be it night or day, the view from the room and outdoor patio was mesmerising. Being our 5th anniversary, an additional surprise was a greeting card marking the occasion left in our room. Having arrived really late, we only had time for dinner that evening and it was a great experience. Both the drinks and food were interesting and delicious. For breakfast we had a table with a nice river view and the food options were plentiful. Before leaving, we also had a lovely walk around the property, which is truly amazing. We would definitely come back for another serene and relaxing stay in the future. P.S. If you have the time, the Sky Road starting in Clifden offers amazing views and is not to be missed.

Le cadre est absolument époustouflant. Nous avons profité d’être arrivés tôt pour faire une ballade dans l’immense parc du château. Les chemins sont parfaitement entretenus, la nature préservée, c’est un délice pour les yeux. Tout le personnel était vraiment aimable et serviable, le château en lui-même était magnifique et l’ambiance chaleureuse et reposante.

Beautiful place to be!
We’ll definitely come back & spend even more time at Ballynahinch Castle. Beautiful setting, charming place. Only thing we’ll change is stay longer & select a larger room.

We loved everything about this hotel! The rooms were clean, beds were extremely comfortable, food was great but most importantly, the staff were amazing. Specifically Martin!! He was always everywhere making sure everyone was comfortable, had what they needed and were happy. He had such a passion for his job that it translated to pure excellence in his job!! Well done Ballynahinch for employing such a remarkable staff member. Loved our two night stay here and would definitely return if in the area. Highly recommend it!

It was like stepping back in time but with modern conveniences. Take the guided tour from Noel, you won't regret it, the history is fascinating.

beautiful place, gorgeous surroundings, but you really have to want to be there, away from it all. Room was very nice, bathroom was great, just disappointed it did not have a handheld shower. Food was a disappointment. First evening there, decided to eat in the bar, and ordered the vegetarian dish, nocchi, for €20, and I got five nochjis on the plate. I complained to the waiter, so they sent out three more , for a total of eight. It was barely enough fir a starter! To their credit they did not charge for the plate. The next night, we were going to eat in the dining room. Dinner was fixed price, €70 for three courses, so we were expecting a really special dinner. Imagine our surprise when we saw that one of the choices for the entree, or main as they say there, was the same dish of nocchis that was offered in the bar the night before. That was enough to make us leave and return to the bar, where I had a very satisfactory duck dish for €22. Just a warning about the food.
