Herons nesting at the Ballymascanlon
We have stayed at the Ballymascanlon many times and it is always a pleasure to go back. Beautiful location, first class friendly service and a great experience from start to finish. The heron's nests and fledgelings was an absolute bonus!!

We stayed 2 nights for/after a wedding. The reception was fabulous, everything ran smoothly, the grounds were beautiful, roses in full bloom, staff were friendly and efficient.
The newly refurbished rooms were really nice but the 'older' rooms were great too. Everyone commented on the comfortable beds across the hotel. Pool facilities were good, breakfast room had a lovely ambience. Most of our party had an explore around the grounds and walk to the dolman and all enjoyed the hotel. Highly recommend

Lovely hotel
Very nice hotel on outskirts of Dundalk convenient for Cooley paninsula. Comfortable rooms and public spaces. Food offering good overall. Good bar food menu with roast of the day which was very nice only downside it was roast of EVERY Day during our stay. Even though it is laudable that the hotel operates a circular food system and even more so that they would support their neighbouring turkey producers maybe a change now and again would enhance the bar menu. However a lovely experience overall and have no difficulty reccomending to others.
