We stayed here in May for a three night break and have to say really loved this hotel. The view from the room was something else.We usually like to crash in the evenings in our hotel room so a nice room is really important and this did not disappoint. The view really is something else and changes all the time... More

My husband and I had an absolutely wonderful 3 night break at the Ice House Hotel - staff really genuinely friendly, fantastic views from our room, wonderful outdoor hottub, and the food......the chef is incredible, I have never tasted food so good in all my life - savoured every mouthful.

We stayed two nights and wish we had booked more! This was the most amazing hotel. Our room had a full sliding glass wall that over looked the Moy river. The room and bath were state of the art and so relaxing. Best nights sleep our trip. The food and staff were amazing. If you are traveling to Ballina you... More

Stayed for two nights, very good food, quality excellent, nice restaurant view of the river. Very spacious and very clean rooms, I was in the vermilion. If your in the area, great value for money. The bar is limited, but serves Guinness, so can't be bad.

We stayed in this hotel for 2 nights over the weekend. The staff, food and ambience was out of this world. Our suite was so comfortable and spacious and the separate shower in the bathroom meant that it was very safe and easy to use. There was a lovely peacefulness about the place and its location is ideal for visiting... More

I received a voucher from a woman who used to work in the Ice House to use the Spa and have a 60 minute massage. I got the school day treat (Tea and Scones/60 min treatment/light lunch and use of the thermal suite). On my visit I had the hot oil massage by a young therapist (don't know her name... More

We have just enjoyed the best 4 days weather this year staying in the Ice House Hotel. Situated on the river Moy its an ideal location for touring the area. The hotel is quite small and has limited facilities but what it has is run very well and you will not be disappointed with the service provided by the staff.... More

The Ice House hotel is a very relaxing place to spend a few days. The views are wonderful, the rooms, all I think, have huge glass wall to ceiling windows overlooking the Rover Moy. The restaurant does as well and there is a lovely outside sitting area in the restaurant/bar too. Two hot tubs overlooking the river....such a relaxing way... More

Stayed in the Ice House for two nights. A Nice welcome - a glass of prosecco each whilst our bags were brought to our room. The hotel itself is on a road side with bungalows to the right and the river Moy and forest park to the left. The room was fine, minimalistic –great big windows with nice views over... More

Absolutely everything is considered by this exquisitely tasteful hotel - from the champagne on arrival, the delicious brownies with the welcome message, to the comfortable king size bed! The view from the floor to ceiling window is incredible, we could happily sit and watch the River Moy and the woods across from us all day....But then there is the thermal... More
