Ballynahinch Castle Hotel is located along the Wild Atlantic Way in the West of Ireland. This makes us a perfect base for touring this 2500km (1500 miles) of amazing driving route from Donegal to Co. Cork. Local attractions in Connemara on the drive include Kylemore Abbey, Killary Harbour, Inish Bofin, Sky Road and Roundstone village.
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.
What an amazing hotel. Super location, outstanding staff at every level throughout the hotel. Excellent service, food and simply a wonderful experience. Quality room and ambience that suits the West Coast of Ireland. Would recommend this to anybody.
My husband and I stayed at Ballynahinch at the end of our trip through Ireland and it was my favorite part. There was nothing we did not like about our stay. The grounds are beautiful, the staff are so friendly, the food is delicious.
The beauty of the castle, dining rooms, hotel rooms and the surrounding grounds and river truly will take your breath away. The staff is plentiful and so cheerful and helpful. We greatly enjoyed the pub and some live music and the Owenmore dining room. The breakfast is not to be missed. The activities team is so friendly and accommodating, be sure to check out their activities. Can’t wait to come back again!
