Top Ballyliffin Hotel Reviews

Ballyliffin Lodge & Spa

Ballyliffin Lodge & Spa

10/10 Excellent
"The bedroom was spotlessly clean and comfortable, with a small fridge which was ideal for keeping the complimentary bottles of water, cool. We had lunch and tea in Jacks Bar and the food was of a very high standard, and reasonably priced. The staff were courteous throughout the hotel and especially Danielle, who attended to us at lunchtime. As we arrived quite early, we were delighted to be given an early check in. The views from the Hotel, over the surrounding area, are absolutely breathtaking. Finally, the breakfast was delicious with a wide choice of options. It was a nice touch that Colm served the hot items as required, ensuring that not only were they freshly cooked, but also piping hot. We would hope to return, in the near future, for possibly two nights, giving us the opportunity to explore more."

10/10 Excellent
"My husband and I were there just for a quick break, just a couple of hours from home. The hotel was easily found and plenty of parking spaces including disabled. Reception staff were polite and friendly and our room was spacious and comfortable. We did not use the spa amenities as travelling about most of the day we just wanted a drink and some entertainment. We were not disappointed in that, we were room only as both of us cannot eat a big feed in the morning but you could book in for breakfast if you wanted. Could not fault this hotel."
