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.
We marked a family special occasion with a weekend stay The Lodge at Ashford Castle, including our two red setters and border collie. The ambience and service were perfect, we enjoyed every dining experience at the Lodge and Castle - but the absolute highlight was our private hawk walk on the grounds with the Falcon School. We and our dogs felt so welcome, thank you to all the staff for making our stay wonderful.
Cong is a beautiful village with all its Quiet Man history but there's a lot more to it and Lydons Lodge was the perfect base, the room was plenty big for us (family of 4) and very comfortable. The staff are so friendly and welcoming it's like meeting up with old friends. Great breakfast and we also had dinner there which was fabulous. We cannot recommend Lydons Lodge enough, We will definitely be going back.
The property was in an ideal location for us - in walking distance to the village of Cong and close to The Lodge at Ashford Castle where we were attending a wedding. From booking to questions and queries the owners were a pleasure to deal with. The accommodation is very accessible as all ground floor, it was very clean and plenty of crockery and cutlery etc. We enjoyed our stay
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.
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.
Location- in the main street of Cong.
