BALLYNAHINCH CASTLE HOTEL

Very Poor Dining Experience Ballynahinch Castle, it's setting and accommodation are superb. However, our visit was let down immensely by our dining experience in the restaurant. Priced at €90 per person, the food was such an incredible let down. Each plate was tasteless, there was not one highlight from our dining experience. Very disappointing. Moreover, the portion sizes were miniscule. This is not what we expected from the luxurious setting, the star rating or the pricepoint of our overall stay.

Wonderful Estate Lovely in every way. Stunning views. Activities staff were helpful and friendly. Rooms were clean and spacious. The only bummer was the slow service and average food in the pub. The main dining room was superb for both food and service. Also, it can be a long walk to your room. Only and issue if there is mobility issues.

Disappointing, overpriced but nice ambience and surroundings Lacking attention to detail. Gorgeous surroundings. Gorgeous interiors. Waiting staff substandard. Overpriced food. Examples: Asked for drinks menu twice and it only arrived after we’d been asked if we were ready to order food twice. One cut tomato and a small handful of leaves with burrata was almost 20 euro. Menu said clotted cream with scones, waitress confidently confirmed clotted cream, whipped cream arrived, next waiter didn’t know what clotted cream was and the head waiter said they didn’t do clotted cream after the scones arrived. Really disappointing.

Blown away by this stay There’s no amount of gushing that would do our stay justice. We booked Lettery Lodge with a small group of friends/family, and it was beyond perfect. We had plenty of space to spread out and the kitchen was well-equipped. It was perfect for walking over to the castle hotel for a drink or snack, cooking meals, and enjoying the magnificent grounds. The flyfishers in our group couldn’t have been happier and we loved our guided hike. Hopping on bikes to roam the greenways was a fabulous way to enjoy the countryside and we felt beautifully positioned for some easy day trips. The staff were incredibly friendly and happy to work with us to meet our needs. We plan to go back again!!

Amazing attention to detail This hotel was amazing on all levels. The incredibly well-trained and pleasant staff were always ready to go one step farther if need be. No request was too great. The rooms are impeccably redesigned with bathrooms that are modern day, state of the art. Both restaurants served food that was delicious and prepared to exact preferences . Again, the restaurant team was outwardly pleasant and accommodating. The estate walking tour is a must and Oeghan was above par in his knowledge and demeanor. We would highly recommend this castle to friends and look forward to a return visit.
