If you do not like spiders, this is not the place for you. This place is kept as clean as possible,…read morebut for some reason, I guess because there's forest nearby, there are spiders found in the lodge. I was also bummed that you cannot visit the castle, only if you have reservations like dinner or spa activities that you pay for, you cannot just walk into the castle, even if you were staying at the lodge. Overall, the food was amazing there, the restaurant on the second floor was absolutely amazing. The short rib was out of this world. The room was absolutely beautiful, but again there were spiders here and there in the lodge and the rooms (which honestly can't be avoided) which literally paralyzes me in fear so I personally won't be back but if a spider or three doesn't bother you this place and the castle to stay is definitely the best in Ireland. The service was also top notch as well. Be prepared to have to reserve all activities in person with concierge when you get to the hotel or call beforehand as they might be booked up.

The highlight of this Lodge is the bar and restaurant. We enjoyed both many times and I can say they can craft great cocktails. They also have a fine selection of drafts are available. The food is excellent and I would even call what I experienced for dinner as a gourmet experience. Breakfast was included in our stay and I am happy to report that everything from full breakfast to Irish porridge was excellent. I would highly suggest staying here while visiting Cong.

We reveled in being absolutely spoiled in this sleeper locale where De Galle once stayed in the late 60s. While the accommodations weren't what one might consider top of the line, they were well-furnished, clean and spacious. Every room but for those occupied was open, providing a true run-of-the-house feel. The food and service exceeded five stars...simply delicious. What fun with potatoes, and extensive vegetarian offerings without so much as a blink. Between the gardens, grounds, and an old nearby cemetery where we sat smoking Cuban cigars and overlooking a bluff, we knew we'd found a slice of heaven. The thought of staying there permanently crossed our minds more than once.

From the small back deck you can look over this town all the way to the high cliffs that drop into the ocean, creating picturesque views of the orange, red and pink sunset. We arrived to a small sign personally welcoming us. Niall and Darra treated us like family while we stayed at their house and even dined at their table. They were personally acquainted with the entire area and gave us honest recommendations for spending our days there. We were able to see the Cliffs without crowds because of their directions. We then had the perfect dinner of local food at Roadford House where we walked along stonewalls past cows, horses, and sheep to the intimate dining room overlooking pastures. We ended the night by enjoying local music at O'Connor's Pub just a minute walk from the Sea View. We would highly recommend staying at the Sea View for at least a few nights on your trip to Ireland. Thanks again Darra and Niall, Ryan and Cristina

The rooms (we stayed in more than one), the food, the hospitality and the views were all just perfect. If we could give them more stars, we would.

We were so engrossed and enamored in our first experience in Ireland, and neither of us did reviews, but I feel like I need to say WE ADORE SEA VIEW HOUSE!! We are very much looking forward to another visit!!

It's large with comfortable chairs to look outside. The bathroom is large with a solid shower. Small complaints: * Better pillows * careful with open windows as midges will come in at night The grounds are spectacular. We walked the trails multiple times -- the river walk was our favorite. Be sure to spend some time in the walled garden. All three dinners on site were quite good and the three course tasting menu at Owenmore was particularly memorable. Dining with a view! In the pub, we had dinner at Eric Clapton's table. As might be expected, the staff were very friendly and helpful -- without being stuffy like they can be in some resorts. Ballynahinch was definitely a highlight of our trip.

There is one bathroom between two rooms so you need to be comfortable sharing a bathroom.

The kitchen is well stocked and has everything you need to cook and bake.

Nice modern hotel, about 5-10 minute stroll from the ferry dock. The hotel has nice rooms with…read morestandard fixtures, and moderate bedding, and a nice/large bath. There are 20+ rooms and some have balconies. Most rates come with breakfast which they serve continental early 7am-9am, and full Irish breakfast begins later at 9AM. The hotel restaurant and bar on premise are quite good. It's a short/easy 5 min walk from the hotel to the center of town. They contract with local tour guides to pick you up if you wish to take an island tour. The front desk is pretty strict about check-in and didn't let us check in before 3PM even though we were on the 10:30AM ferry that got in around 11:30AM, but they do let you store your luggage behind the front desk. P.S. They tend to have a lot of weddings at this hotel as there are banquet tents, so be prepared for potential parties (bachelor or bachelorette) on certain weekends.
