Ballinful accommodation from AU$181

Hotel was very clean and comfortable. Stayed in a 3 person room. Used the pool facilities which were lovely in the morning. Had dinner in the restaurant also which was very nice and suited our needs perfectly. Stayed here after playing a gig in Sligo. Came back late and the reception advised us that we could order drinks to the room by scanning a QR code. It was not fit for purpose. Alcoholic beverages were available but soft drinks were not. All we wanted was a 7up or something similar. The online thing wasn’t working, rang to reception, classic “computer says no” situation unfortunately. The staff were very helpful and dropped us up some mi-wadi, they could do that because it was free - but it showed the flaw in the system that they couldn’t take a simple order for a soft drink over the phone due to an app issue. A bit of flexibility would go a long way here and certainly would be more suitable to any older customers who would find QR codes and online ordering to be a challenge. Other than that, had a mighty time. Will stay again.

Staff were welcoming and professional Hotel generally clean, although looking tired/in need of refurbishment in some areas - eg, bathroom and litter near reception entrance Excellent WiFi connectivity, plenty of hot water and quiet/traffic free room

On our first trip to Ireland, trying to see as much as we could in less than a month, we somehow managed to wind up here for a week, and how very fortuitous we were. The house is comfortable, thoughtfully designed and furnished, worthy in itself of a 10-star rating, but that hardly begins to tell the story. The setting is fairytale enchanting, beyond all expectation, and our hosts Mary and Des, anticipated our every need and question, and regaled with us with Irish lore and funny stories. Indeed, they treated us like family. When our rental car came down with a flat tire, Des even rode with us to a local mechanic and made sure everything was handled properly. There are so many beautiful sights and charming towns nearby, but don’t let your visit become over-scheduled and hectic. Do not leave without taking the cliff walk that begins just down the street. And do spend every unscheduled waking moment in the sun room, sipping your beverage of choice, looking out to the North Atlantic, and thinking deep thoughts. Or napping, as you prefer. If God ever made any place more beautiful, he kept it for himself.
