This is my second stay at the Ryan Hotel, and each time has been great! I love the location of the hotel because it’s right in the heart of Cong. The staff is always the highlight for me. They are truly exceptional and friendly! I always felt like I was treated so well and enjoyed the helpful information they would give on places to visit. Everything was extremely comfortable and clean at this hotel.

Geraldine and Michael are first-rate hosts! I was warmly welcomed to their beautiful B&B farm, and generously taken care of throughout my stay. The place is immaculately clean and tidy and as comfortable as a five-star hotel. The full Irish breakfast with Michael’s homemade Irish soda bread was the best I’ve had in my 90+ days traveling the Emerald Isle.

Beautiful city with a whole pile of history and things to see. There is fantastic forest walks, amazing caves and fantastic ruins and burial sites. Very well maintained and clean and very easy to get around. Food in the Crowes Nest was fantastic and the staff were really friendly. All the people of Cong were very polite and accommodating.

We were on a flying visit, but I know the village as I grew up nearby. Unless the weather is appalling, it us a great place to go. Lovely quaint village with lots of walks, caves, boat trips & eateries. Ideal for families and couples & those with wee dogs.

There were many interesting sets from The Quiet Man movie, as a well as a Quiet Man museum with costumes and props from the movie. There were coffee shops, restaurants and pubs, and a variety of clothing and souvenir shops. Getting around Cong was very easy. Parking in town was a little difficult, but there are two car parks, one just as you enter town and one near the church.

If at all possible --- go to Ireland's School of Falconry!!
If at all possible --- go to Ireland's School of Falconry!! Yvonne and Tommy were excellent! It was an experience of a lifetime. The grounds of Ashford Castle are gorgeous!! And it was a great surprise to see the lodge used for Danagher's house as we were walking through the gardens to the School of Falconry. The Monk's fishing cabin is cool.
Of course, The Quiet Man sites were fun. Aran Knitwear is a lovely store. I wish they'd have a few Clancy Brothers-type cables, but the modern, sleeker ones are pretty.
Pat Cohan's was delicious for dinner and had a luxury menu at good prices. Nice specialty cocktails, too.
We ate at Danagher's pub for lunch and the beef stew was huge and tasty (if a little salty). It reminded me of my uncle's rec room in the 60s.
The Irish History bookstore (Rare & Recent Books) was worth visiting. Extensive collection, modern titles, great old books, books in Irish, children's books,too. The prices were good.
Everyone we met in Cong was friendly and had good info!

We loved Cong.
We loved Cong. It was a beautiful town and area, with a gorgeous ruined abbey, forest walks, caves, an impressive manor house, quaint stores... The food was excellent at the Crow's Nest, and we LOVED the live music by Stephen and Trish. The salmon at Lydon's Lodge was incredible. The porridge at the Puddleducks Cafe, delicious. We HIGHLY recommend the Irish History Bookshop on Main Street. The owner, Robert, a historian himself, was able to provide us with so much information about the area's archaeological history that interested us. From Cong we explored the Nymphsfield Standing Stones (hard to find, but super-cool), the Ballymacgibbon Cairn, Moyne Castle, and Annaghkeen Castle. Cong is also the perfect base for day-trips to the Connemara Penninsula, and to the Aran Islands.
Spacious, clean, comfortable and with everything you need and many homely touches! The owner has thought of everything. Cong village is about a 35 minute walk that can take you via the beautiful Cong woods, across the river that has the monks fishing house (and abbey nearby) and with a view to Ashford castle. We found five great bars in the small and picturesque village, live music in one, so had a very enjoyable Saturday night. Blakehill house was absolutely perfect for our short break to enjoy beautiful Cong.
This place is simply breathtaking. Very well equipped , clean and nicely furnished rooms.The surrounding is like in a fairy tale,situated in the woods in a walk distance to the castle.The owners-Patricia and Gerard are very friendly and helpful couple.I appreciate that after a long day of travelling,they left a surprise in the fridge - food for preparation of typical Irish breakfast.If one day we return to Ireland,my heart will definitely take me to this place. I 100% recommend this property!
The breakfast was the best, ordered and had plenty. The staff was friendly and happy to do all they could. Of course the theme of the "Quiet Man" with John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara in '51 so all over the walls and in the rooms were placards and pictures of the film. All nicely presented. And real close to Cong (town of the filming). We had a great tour. The good
people of Ireland are the most kind and friendly and where ever we went always helpful.

Our stay at Nymphsfield House was outstanding! The rooms were spacious and spotless. Mary was a lovely host. There were five of us and she catered to our every need at breakfast and even made delicious home baked scones and Irish brown bread. We felt very welcome here and wished we could have stayed longer! By far the best B&B experience during our time in Ireland, thank you!
This is a little gem on the outskirts of Cong Village, near Ashford Castle. It's very quiet and a wonderful place to stay for exploring the surrounding countryside. The facilities were of high standard, with comfortable beds and open plan living space, and the owners a pleasure to deal with. I would definitely recommend it. Thank you.
The host was Rachael very kind, the room was very clean, the beds were very comfortable and the breakfast was very good.
Cong is a charming village at the gates of the Connemara where you can find restaurants, bars, a beautiful forest to walk in. It is also famous for the movie The Quiet Man.
To sum up it was a perfect stay.
The breakfast was excellent , Staff very friendly and helpful , Evening meal on both nights was outstanding and not to expensive , Rooms were spotless and beds very comfortable ,This is our 3th time in Cong but this was the best place to stay and we will be back again to the Lydons Lodge Hotel
The location is excellent right in centre close to Ashford castle. Was in front room of hotel very comfortable and clean. Staff are very nice and helpful.breakfast good choice offered lunch menu very good. No late music to keep you awake at night.
Luskin's had all sorts of supplies to help with our self-catering. The house itself was roomy for the 5 of us, and it was really nice to have 2 separate bathrooms. Had it not been January, we would have enjoyed the very short walk into Cong!
Lovely staff, Martha was so welcoming. So many personalized touches to make guests feel taken care of. Breakfast was delicious. We loved exploring the area around the b&b. One of the best places we stayed in ireland.
The hosts were amazing and very kind. The breakfast was freshly prepared and we could select between several dishes. The village of Cong can be reached easily on foot. Al in all, I would recommand it to everybody!
