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. ##### Donna Stayed 1 night in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alexandra B 30 Mar 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 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. ##### Alexandra B Stayed 1 night in Feb 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Malia 21 Jan 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Le cadre est absolument époustouflant.

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. ##### Halyna Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 23 Jun 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Amazing!!!

Fit and bathroom fixtures of the highest quality and the view of the river fantastic. I would definitely return. Great value! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Apr 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 31 Mar 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities While we thought we had booked a unique top flight accommodation, our expectations were far surpassed in everyway. The grounds were immaculate, the service superb, the rooms had updated electric outlets for UK and US, and they even have a Tesla charging station. The river view from the room was fantastic. The restaurant food was on par with any 5 star (US)/2star(Michelin) restaurant in which we have had the pleasure of dining. The wine list was excellent especially for the Connemara. They have numerous activities that we simply did not have time to enjoy. We now understand why many people were in awe when we told them we were heading to Ballynahinch. This is truly a special place and their efforts to maintain the property have paid off. It is definitely worth going to this little piece of heaven. And the Spring flowers were not all even in bloom yet. We wish we could return. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Mar 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 27 Dec 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Nice and overwhelming hotel has big property but you cannot walk so there should be bicycles there ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Dec 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sean 25 Dec 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Wonderful wedding experience: lovely walks and gardens, the dining and bedroom views are beautiful, the staff are extremely friendly, accomodating and helpful!

The location was pretty and it was unfortunate, due to the weather, we didn’t get to enjoy the grounds which did look lovely. I had previously stayed at Parknasilla and much preferred that resort. To be fair, I think that was a five star property. The TV in the room was too small to view adequately while in bed and the Wi-Fi didn’t work at all during our two night stay. We ate at the pub one evening and the hostess took our drink order and never returned with them or set up the table with napkins and cutlery. The waitress who finally did attend to us was the highlight of our visit. I wish I got her name. Overall, it’s not a place I would return to. Again, it’s a pretty property, but not really the caliber of service I look for when on holiday and looking to splurge. ##### Jennifer Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### KrissaPecunes, Shrewsbury, PA 19 Nov 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities What a beautiful treasure! Charming and elegant, the people, room and property! Many activities are available from relaxing in the generously luxurious rooms to active walks around the well groomed grounds. ##### KrissaPecunes Stayed 1 night in Nov 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sam, Charleston, SC 13 Nov 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort We loved our stay at the Ballynahinch Castle! From the moment we walked in we were greeted nicely and welcomed. Our room was very cute and had a lovely river view, they congratulated us for our honeymoon. The pub was cute and great to have a drink by the fire. The grounds are so pretty to explore. Breakfast the next morning was the best I've ever had! ##### Sam Stayed 1 night in Oct 2018 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Beach Front Cottage with Mountain Views 5 k from Carlingford](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dundalk-Hotels-Beach-Front-Cottage-With-Mountain-Views-5-K-From-Carlingford.h34555626.Hotel-Information) > - [CABU By The Lakes](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cavan-Hotels-CABU-By-The-Lakes.h48850549.Hotel-Information) > - [Farnham Estate Spa & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cavan-Hotels-Farnham-Estate-Spa-Golf-Resort.h1499097.Hotel-Information) > - [Skryne Castle Built in 1142](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Skryne-Hotels-Skryne-Castle-Built-In-1142.h35803840.Hotel-Information) > - [Clayton Hotel Dublin Airport Central](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dublin-Hotels-Clayton-Hotel-Dublin-Airport-Central.h77932.Hotel-Information) > - [Clayton Hotel Liffey Valley](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dublin-Hotels-Clayton-Hotel-Liffey-Valley.h1166873.Hotel-Information) > - [Marina views, Kinsale, sleeps 20, owned by Exquisite Holiday Homes ](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kinsale-Hotels-Marina-Views.h45413709.Hotel-Information) > - [Maldron Hotel Dublin Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dublin-Hotels-Maldron-Hotel-Dublin-Airport.h1331635.Hotel-Information) > - [Talbot Hotel Clonmel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Clonmel-Hotels-Clonmel-Park-Hotel.h7049246.Hotel-Information) > - [Carlton Hotel Dublin Airport Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dublin-Hotels-Carlton-Hotel-Dublin-Airport-Hotel.h1453052.Hotel-Information) > - [Leonardo Hotel Galway](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Galway-Hotels-Jurys-Inn-Galway.h21984.Hotel-Information) > - [Killaloe Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Killaloe-Hotels-The-Killaloe-Hotel.h15821471.Hotel-Information) > - [Ghan House Carlingford](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dundalk-Hotels-Ghan-House-Carlingford.h41972370.Hotel-Information) > - [The Cliffe at the Quay](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Donegal-Hotels-The-Cliffe-At-The-Quay.h104426642.Hotel-Information) > - [Travelodge Dublin Airport North Swords](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dublin-Hotels-Travelodge-Dublin-Airport-North-Swords.h24018.Hotel-Information) > - [Portmarnock Resort & Jameson Golf Links](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dublin-Hotels-Portmarnock-Resort-Jameson-Golf-Links.h445188.Hotel-Information) > - [Galway Bay Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Galway-Hotels-Galway-Bay-Hotel.h106984.Hotel-Information) > - [Airport View Hotel & Secret Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lusk-Hotels-Airport-View-Hotel-Secret-Spa.h1527144.Hotel-Information) > - [The Strand Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ballyliffin-Hotels-The-Strand-Hotel.h15932701.Hotel-Information) > - [Wildwood Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dundalk-Hotels-Wildwood-Lodge.h23322687.Hotel-Information) > - [Charming 2-bed Apartment in Donegal Town Centre](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Donegal-Hotels-The-Suite-On-The-Diamond.h46949579.Hotel-Information) > - [St Angela’s Lakeside Aparthotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sligo-Hotels-ST-ANGELAS-LUXURY-APARTMENTS.h39222224.Hotel-Information) > - [Slieve Russell Hotel Golf & Country Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ardue-Hotels-Slieve-Russell-Hotel-Golf-Country-Club.h4952282.Hotel-Information) > - [Blackstairs Shepherds Huts](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Blackstairs-Shepherds-Huts.h95751793.Hotel-Information) > - [The Old Borough by Wetherspoon](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dublin-Hotels-The-Old-Borough-By-Wetherspoon.h49171932.Hotel-Information) > - [Malin Townhouse](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Malin-Hotels-Malin-Townhouse.h42005430.Hotel-Information) > - [Druids Glen Hotel & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kilmullin-Hotels-Druids-Glen-Hotel-Golf-Resort.h853698.Hotel-Information) > - [An Chúirt Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gweedore-Hotels-An-Chuirt-Hotel.h17721313.Hotel-Information) > - [Clayton Hotel Dublin Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dublin-Hotels-Clayton-Hotel-Dublin-Airport.h2226273.Hotel-Information) ---
