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.
I had to postpone my original date because of an unforeseen event and Mary was very helpful with an alternative date which was much appreciated. The cottage was brilliant with all facilities and accessories. The cottage is full of light with a nice stove for the winter and in walking distance to everything in Cong which has to be one of the nicest town / villages in Ireland.
Amazing cosy place to stay over a night or two in the center of Cong. Lovely atmosphere, tasty food, attentive and friendly staff. Great for families with kids, their family rooms are spacious, well thought over and comfortable. Definitely we’ll come back as we fell in love with this lovely town, and we’ll stay in the same hotel. Truly recommend!
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.
Breakfast was wonderful and was cooked to order by the owners of the B&B. It felt as if we were part of the family. The house was gorgeous and the room was immaculate. Absolutely recommend if you’re visiting Cong Village or looking to view the Ashford Castle property. Absolutely beautiful, quaint, scenic, and secluded!
Location, service and value. Wonderful breakfast included. Best value on our whole trip from London to Edinburgh through to Dublin. Close to Ashford Castle to be able to explore the castle grounds and the Cong village. Can do the quiet man tours here as well.
Superb location and staff and facilities. As we would expect for a 4 star plus hotel. The views and grounds and walks including Ashford Castle were exceptional. The falconry experience particularly with our grand daughter was so memorable and photographic.
Large house with everything that you need for a stay away from home. Ideal location for access to the Lodge at Ashford Castle where we attended a wedding and the Cong Woods where we loved to walk.
This is a great hotel in the centre of the beautiful village of Cong. Staff were excellent and very friendly. Food was very enjoyable and reasonably priced. We really enjoyed our two night stay.
Quaint B&B right in the heart of Cong! Rooms were clean, quiet and comfortable, and the host was super friendly! Parking spaces in front of building and easy walk to Ashford Castle from here.
The location was perfect for what we wanted to do while we were in Cong! The hotel staff was incredibly welcoming and helpful. I would come back to stay at Ryan's when in Cong the next time.
Everything from cleanliness to amazing breakfast, fantastic host and just 200m from Ashford Castle gate. What else to ask for? This is a very special B&B that I would recommend to anyone!
Location was perfect, Cong is a very small village and given the area its a convenient location within the village, breakfast was perfect.
Would i stay again, probably would.
Very friendly. Nothing was too much bother. Would stay here again. Property right in the perfect place for all that there is to see in Cong. Parking right in front of the B&B
