Ballynahinch Castle Hotel

The hotel itself was lovely however, I left an expensive coat in my room after a few months I realised and called the hotel. Reception said they would look into it a day later I got a call back to say they could not locate it. When you are paying that kind of money you would expect they would make contact with you surely when they found the coat in the room you would think they would contact you. Very Disappointing.

I have enjoyed the food and drinks at this hotel during my stay. The atmosphere is very peaceful, and the surrounding views are truly amazing. I loved taking photos to add to my personal collection. I will definitely come back again with my family.

Having stayed recently at Ballinahinch Castle, my husband asked me to write a review praising the establishment. This request instantly prompted me to write a sparkling review . Of course, it helped that I was equally as impressed with Ballinahinch Castle which is set in beautiful Connemara in Co Galway. From the get go, we were given a 'Céad Míle Fáilte' by the receptionist and porter who insisted on bringing our bags to our beautiful room which was spacious, spotless and comfortable. Our dining experience in the Owenabue restaurant was first class and made special by the staff who were professional , friendly and good humoured. The food was beautifully prepared and presented. It also tasted wonderful. The menu was carefully chosen with some lovely fish from nearby Atlantic offered. Breakfast was truly special. It was a relaxing experience and no on felt rushed. Pat managed the dining room seamlessly and chatted to people at each table in turn. In short, 'beimid ar ais' (we will be back) but at a time when daylight hours are longer and we can maximise our visit to take in the majestic scenery that surrounds Ballinahinch Castle. Maith sibh go léir.. tá sibh ag déanamh sár job!! I cannot wait to return.

Big mansion beside a river. It's spotless very clean not the most efficient of staff but polite friendly and extremely helpful. A bit overpriced, nice grounds for a walk, lots of activities on offer but 30 euros for a two and a half hour tour??

Ballynahinch castle is a beautiful property. From the moment you enter the reception area you get a warm feeling of comfort, luxury and relaxation. The welcoming flicker of a log burning fire already invites you to slow down and breathe. The setting is exceptional. We were lucky to have had very good weather, considering it was October. From the moment we arrived, as our room was not yet ready as we arrived early, we chose to explore some of the many walks around the property. The grounds, walks, trails and walled gardens are exquisite. We chose to dine in the Fisherman's restaurant on the night of our arrival. Food and presentation were excellent. My husband decided on the venison burger, the special of the day. However, he did become unwell shortly after retiring to our room. I called reception to report this as I realised some other guests perhaps also chose this option. The night porter called to our room to check on the situation and asked if we needed to have a doctor called. By this stage my husband was resting. We did get a call in the morning at about 7.30 to check on his wellbeing. When we arrived at breakfast we mentioned this to general manager. He politely responded and stated that he would get back to us after checking on other guests who had chosen the same menu option. In all we had the most wonderful experience at Ballynahinch castle and would recommend a stay there for relaxation, comfort and pure luxury, with the bonus of excellent grounds for walking, in a quiet location. We found the general manager very pleasant, professional and addressed the dietary experience with the utmost professionalism. Our stay at the castle was a wonderfulgift from our daughter. It is an expensive place to stay but well worth a visit as the view over breakfast from the owenmore restaurant is simply 'heavenly'. I give the experience a 10 out of 10

The room room was spacious and well appointed. The grounds are well kept with a good range of varied walks. The view from the Owenmore Restaurant was lovely and well illuminated in the evening. The staff in both the restaurant and pub were very attentive, friendly and efficient. The food in both was very well presented and lovely. The building was kept in good condition and was warm and welcoming as were the staff. This is the first hotel I've stayed in for a long time where your sleep was not interrupted by the coming and going of other guests which I suspect is largely down to the thickness of the hall/stairway carpets and the soft gentle closure on the doors. I would definitely recommend a visit.
