It's beginning to look a lot like autumn. It’s such a special time of year here at Ballynahinch Castle. From watching the leaves change colour to getting cosy by the fire with a good book and a cocktail, there’s a lot of magic in the air. 🍂💫

Exceptional experience!

Very romantic, attentive staff and fantastic food! Flawless execution at every turn. The prix fixe menu in the main dining room is worth every penny if you like interesting food with exceptional presentation. They have extensive hiking trails and the rooms in the main building overlooking the river are beautiful.
