Ballynahinch Castle ReviewSet on an enchanting 140-hectare (346-acre) estate at the base of Ben Lettery, one of the Twelve Bens mountains, this turreted, gabled manor house overlooks the Owenmore River. Dating from the 16th century, it once served as a base for the "Ferocious" O'Flaherty chieftains. It was also said to be home to the sea pirate Grace O'Malley. The ambience can be best described as country-house casual; the place feels luxurious, yet there's little stuffiness. The guest rooms are tastefully decorated in cream and ochre with a traditional look. Many have fireplaces and four-poster beds (all with orthopedic mattresses). This is a sportsman's lodge, renowned for top-notch trout and salmon fishing. Each evening, the day's catch is weighed in and recorded at the Fishermen's Bar, usually creating a cause for celebration.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
