We spent a weekend in this hotel and were very, very reluctant to leave. We ended up arriving a day early because our accommodation for the first night of our trip had fallen through. They couldn't do enough for us despite the inconvenience we were causing them. The staff was very friendly and courteous without being overbearing, even offering us... More

We could only stay for one night at the Ballyliffin Lodge but wished we had time to extend our stay and will certainly return for a longer visit. Evening meal was excellent and good selection at breakfast - both hot and cold. Staff are extremely welcoming and friendly. Bedroom was superior room with views over Pollan Bay from where some...

Been here a few times and have to say whilst the location and views are magnificant they do not do enough with this place. The sitting room to the left of the reception area is a muddle of chairs and tables and does nothing to enhance the room or the fireplace. We arrived for a coffee at 2.00 pm on... More

Thank you for your comments on our hotel, We operate on reduced hours during the winter period and this is why on christmas eve we opened the bar from 4pm. We opened fully from the 26th of December for the holiday period and had a very busy festive season with functions each day throughout. I have noted your comments and... More

I stayed a Ballyliffin Lodge as part of a girls weekend away. The rooms were lovely (although not the largest) and beds comfy. The Spa was put to good use, I had a elixir message which I would highly recommend. On the Friday evening we ate in bar where the food was of good quality and enjoyed some drink back... More

The Ballyliffin Lodge Hotel is a hidden gem in the dramatic county of Donegal. We have just had a wonderful weekend, relaxing in the Spa and eating fresh, well cooked food in the restaurant. We stayed at The Lodge about 3 years ago and always said we wanted to return to Donegal (which has superb beaches and golf) and so... More

Had a very relaxing break here, with Hubby. We've visited this hotel twice now, and on both occassions had a fantastic break. We had one of the larger seafront rooms, which was beautifully decorated, and the views are heavenly. It is in a lovely location, and on a fine day a walk across the beach to the ruins is delightful,... More

We had a very enjoyable meal at this hotel. The staff were friendly and very efficent. The menu itself was great with the option of a la carte or a set menu, both of which were great value for price but did not reflect on the quality of the experience. As I am coeliac, I was delighted as the menu... More

We stayed at this hotel for one night and I was really thankful for that. The staff were so friendly and nice but this is not a four star hotel. The children enjoyed the swimming pool and that was the only saving grace. We ate in the bar -Mamie Pat's- and the food was dreadful - really awful. Hard garlic... More

We had a magnificient room looking out from the front of the hotel with spectacular views of the beach and ocean. The weather being bright added to our enjoyment of the views. We ate the first night in the restaurant and the second in the bar. The food was exceptional in both and the service matched. I would definitely recommend... More
