My experience of Ballinlacken Castle Country House was not so good. The house was very cold and the rooms were freezing, damp and smell musty. The bathroom in the room could badly do with a refurbishment and in fact the whole house could do with a make over. The house was so cold that in the public toilet I could... more

Ballinalacken Castle Country House is located in the best location for the Doolin Area. The view is of the Aran Islands, Cliffs of Moher, and the Burrens. If you are looking forward to a relaxing Irish Inn with unbelievable views, this is the place for you! Do not miss the Guinness which was the best Guinness I had in Ireland!... more

We recently returned from a two week tour of Ireland’s West coast that included a two night stay at Ballinalacken Castle. The location is gorgeous. It is set on a hill with views of the Cliffs of Mohr, the Aran Islands, and the Burren. The hotel itself is very charming with, appropriately enough, a feel of history to it. Rooms... more
