The Downhill Hotel is set in a lovely location, my double aspect room overlooked the Brosna River and the Leisure complex. A large comfortable room, unusually so for a solo traveller, but very welcome. From the minute I walked in I felt at home. The staff are extremely welcoming and friendly, nothing is too much trouble. The food was excellent,... More

The Downhill Hotel is in a lovely location - down a quiet lane and next to a stream, but only a few minutes walk into Ballina. The staff are very friendly and helpful. When they asked us about our day, they seemed genuinely interested. When we needed a bit of extra space to do some work, they set up a... More

Beautiful hotel in a beautiful Irish setting beside a creek with a small cascade and a nearby garden. The rooms were very nice and the food was good. Bright and airy lobby and the owner, Rachel, is a treasure. She seems to omnipresent and seems to greet every guest. Anything wrong? Rachel will take care of it. Unfortunately, they did... More

Our 50th school reunion dinner was held in the Downhill House Hotel on May 11th this year. The Staff were extremely professional and pleasant and so helpful with all our inquiries. The Lough Conn room was beautifully decorated for the occasion and the meal was excellent. Well done to Rachel Karen and staff. Keep up the good work
