I go to Ballyliffin to play the great nearby 36 hole golf course. I’m sure there are other nature-oriented options (e.g. hiking around Malin Head and other beautiful areas). This hotel is a comfortable and convenient base for my purposes. The fitness center is a welcome amenity onsite. The staff is friendly and efficient.

Great location with magnificent views and easy access to the area by car. Check in process effortless and rooms were very clean, well laid out with plenty of space and all the basic amenities. Unfortunately we did not get to use the spa and had hoped for a massage but you need to book well in advance. Convenient to have restaurant on site and breakfast included with portions ample. However we were a little disappointed with the service having to ask a number of times for items.

Another superb stay at Ballyliffin Lodge!

We had a 2 night stay in late January and thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Our superior room was warm, clean and very comfortable with excellent views across the bay. We dined both nights in Jack's bar and the food was delicious. Served hot with good portion sizes and a reasonably priced bottle of house wine. The bar staff were very attentive and efficient. A special mention to Helen who looked after us so well at breakfast time....such a lovely lady and a real asset to the hotel.
