Ballykine House

Comfortable accommodation and Ann Lambe’s warm hospitality make this an appealing base for a peaceful holiday. There are guided forest walks from the house, angling on Lough Corrib, an equestrian centre (at nearby Ashford Castle) and bikes for hire locally. It’s also well placed for touring Connemara.

Moderately priced rooms have TV, tea/coffee making facilities and hairdryers. No evening meals but the pubs and restaurants of Clonbur are all within walking distance, and so is Ashford Castle.

On fine evenings guests often like to walk to the pub or restaurant of their choice and get a lift back later. It’s a sociable house with plenty of comfortable seating in the sitting room and conservatory for lounging and chatting, and a new patio/barbecue area was added in 2008 and guests enjoy sitting out there on fine evenings.

There’s also a library room for visitors, pool table - and a drying room for anglers.

Rooms 5 (4 with en-suite shower; 1 with private bath); not suitable for children under 6 yrs; B&B €35-40 pps, ss €15. Garden. Closed 1 Nov-17 Mar. No Credit Cards.

Directions:

3 km from Cong, on Cong/Clonbur Rd - R345
