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.
Fantastic Hotel, right in the heart of downtown so everything was within walking distance. Room was small and quaint but very comfortable. Lots of pillows and all the amenities we have come to expect. Food and service was impeccable! We had dinner and breakfast in the morning and they were both fantastic. I would recommend this hotel to anyone traveling in the area.
We arrived in lovely Cong and parked in the large carpark, behind the hotel. (the entrance way is just beside the Garda station) The hotel is lovely and staff were very welcoming. Our room was small but grand for a one night stay. The bathroom was clean and modern. We had a lovely few drinks in the bar and the breakfast was nice. Wonderful experience!
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 and dinners were all superb. The quality and service was also excellent. We had the most lovely couple nights away and can't wait to come back again soon! The location is perfect - relaxing, close to amenities at Ashford Castle, lovely walks and trails to explore and close to Cong village.
The property was gorgeous, right along the river. Inside the home was lovely as well. Rachael was such a welcoming host, we felt very comfortable there, and would definitely stay there on a return trip to Ireland.
Well kept establishment close to Cong village. Spacious clean comfortable room with TV and tea making facility. Comfortable bed.Visitors lounge available. Lovely cooked breakfast by congenial hosts.
Beautiful country area, stones throw from Cong village.
Spacious ensuite bedroom with views onto the garden.
Lovely outdoor seating area.
Breakfast was above and beyond.
Hostess was very friendly.
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!
