Killary Surfski Weekend

Rooms designed for slowing down. At Ballynahinch Castle, we believe in quiet afternoons and time set aside to properly switch off.

A summer afternoon getting lost in the walled garden. You'll find beds thick with growth, soft fragrance in the air, and something new catching your attention each time you pass through. 🌿

Our smoked haddock, mussel and leek chowder with treacle bread and dillisk butter is a Fisherman's Pub favourite, best enjoyed after a walk along the river. 🎣

Ballynahinch has always been shaped by its people. The welcome at the door, the conversations remembered, the quiet work happening behind the scenes each day- it’s these details that stay with guests long after they leave. 💫

From Monday, 8th June, the Walled Garden Café is open once again for the season. Coffee, treats, and a reason to linger a little longer among the gardens. Open daily from 10am to 4:30 pm. 🌿

June in Connemara. Days stretch well into the evening; the estate is alive with colour and birdsong, and life naturally moves outdoors, from sea swims and long lunches to walks beneath the trees.

A few ways to spend the month at Ballynahinch.

The perfect time for a walk through the estate on the last day of May. Birdsong carries through the woodland, the river moves alongside the paths, and a long stroll beneath a canopy that’s fully come into leaf. 🌿

Scenes from the garden this week. The recent sunshine has brought everything on quickly, colour appearing in every corner, the beds filling out, and the whole space feeling alive again.

For many guests, breakfast at Ballynahinch is the moment they remember most. A quiet start to the day, with the river outside and nowhere to rush towards. What's your favourite part of breakfast here?

A slow weekend morning in one of our classic riverside rooms. A cup of tea, a good book within reach, and nowhere pressing to be for a while.
