We had a wonderful one night stay at Madra Rua in Ballyliffin room. The room was a good size with lovely sheets and towels. The owners are a lovely couple who also suggested we have dinner at Simpsons which was a good choice. Breakfast at Madra Rua was a hearty Spanish omelette and pancakes with fresh fruit served in a charming room. Highly recommended.

I stayed for 1 night at Madra Rua and the place was excellent. The owners were fantastic and done anything they could to make you comfortable and welcome. The breakfast was lovely and fresh and there were plenty of choices. I would recommend staying here if you are in the area exploring the North coast of Ireland as i was. Its rural and safe which i needed as a lone traveller on a motorbike. The everlasting memory for me will be the hospitality of both Clara and Germãn which was second to none, oh, and not forgetting the home made muffins. Love from Scotland, Stevie

Loved our stay.

We loved our stay at Madra Rua. Everything about it is excellent...the room, the organic bedding and toiletries, the breakfast and of course the friendly hosts. Their attention to detail is very special. This made our time in this lovely B&B very comfortable. Thankyou Clara and Germain. We hope to return soon for more pampering.

Couldn't have been better

The room with immaculate, the hosts were extremely helpful and friendly. Made us feel at home. Gave us some tips on where we should go. We would have missed some amazing places if we had not talked to Magdalena about it. Even though we got their late in the evening she offered us tea or coffee and sat down and talk to us about what we wanted to do and what we were going to see. Breakfast was also amazing. The only thing wrong is we didn't stay long enough.

Lovely stay in scenic area

This B&B was just fantastic. The host, greeted us as we arrived. She made us fresh coffee and homemade muffins. She was very friendly and showed us right to our room which was spotlessly clean. They had everything you could need in the room too. The breakfast was one of the nicest I have had in a long time. Host was Spanish, along side of English breakfast , Spanish omelette was also on other, so delicious and was exceptionally friendly also. Overall, I couldn’t fault .
