Ballynahinch Castle Hotel

Dropped in at Ballynahinch Castle today for late lunch in the bar and we were graciously greeted by Killian who got us a table quite fast as it was busy. He also took our beverage order and very soon afterwards we had a lovely lunch served by Ukrainian lady ( apologies forgot name).Food was excellent and lovely presentation we had mussels,fish and chips,roast beef sandwich. Both food and service excellent and attentive. Look forward to next visit and thank you all.

We stayed for 3 nights at what we would describe as the nicest hotel we have ever stayed in. We booked one of the luxury rooms where the door opened onto the lawn and river, spectacular views. The food was absolutely fabulous from breakfast to the Fishermans pub and the Owenmore restaurant, all wonderful. The staff were so friendly, courteous and efficient, a real asset to the hotel. Whilst there we booked the woodland sauna experience, well worth the 30euro per person, freezing cold lake dip & bucket showers, and lovely hot sauna, exhilarating. There is no doubt that this is not the cheapest hotel, particularly if you book a luxury room, however, for a special occasion it is a real treat & the best stay we have had anywhere throughout Ireland. Can't wait to return. Thanks to all the wonderful staff, we had great craic with you all. Love Wendy & Mark from Bangor, Northern Ireland xx

Superb adventure in this amazing hotel. We went to celebrate a few events and it was magical for both groups (young and not so young) ... can recommend the estate guided tour with a lovely young man (Eoin Joyce) ... who spoilt us for almost 2 hours .. The younger generation did the woodland sauna (must be booked) and they really enjoyed being back out in nature - even the cold shower and lake Dinner in the Owenmore was absolutely amazing .. beautiful food, great presentation and a family touch with all the staff .. this place has all the stars and will keep them

Beautiful interiors and attentive staff throughout the stay. I booked the stay last minute the only rooms were the smaller rooms in the main house which was very cosy with a well appointed ensuite bathroom and lovely Mountain View. We were unable to get a table in the main restaurant so we ate in the fisherman’s pub and had the most amazing cote de boeuf to share and had after dinner drinks in front of one of the many open fires in the house. The following morning we went to the main restaurant for breakfast with gorgeous river views, there was a great selection at the buffet and a good choice of hot foods made to order we opted for a traditional Irish breakfast. The Irish breakfast was my only complaint about our stay it was one of the worst I’ve had because of the 2 slimy fried eggs on the plate. I was surprised we weren’t asked how we’d like our eggs cooked and would suggest this option is given I would have preferred scrambled or poached as opposed to what was offered or at least the option of over easy. We did opt for the woodland sauna and I’d highly recommend this on your stay. We were supplied with a basket of towels, slipper and water and got to ride down to the lake in a golf buggy to go cold water swimming and take our sauna over looking the lake.

I could not have loved my stay more. It was everything I wanted. Everything is beautiful - the building, the setting, the rooms, and the staff was wonderful. I happened to have a cold and laryngitis when I was there, and everyone asked about me and was offering me tea with honey and lemon. I couldn't recommend it more. Loved it.

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.
