Stayed in this hotel on the October Bank holiday weekend.We availed of the dinner bed&breakfast deal. We dont normally stay in small hotels but I think that I am now converted to small boutique hotels.What set this apart from the normal hotel is the interaction with family members who go out of their way to help you enjoy your stay....

Impressive driveway takes you to this grand old house. As with all these house to hotel conversions the luggage is always tricky. The corridors are lengthy and include plenty of stairs!

We recently travelled to Doolin to celebrate a special family member birthday. The Ballinalacken Castle Country House was the perfect setting. Cecilia and her family were incredibly gracious hosts. Dinner was amazing, rivalling any meal we have had in NYC. The location is wonderful, complete with a tour of the original castle on the grounds. We would highly recommend this... More

We stayed at Ballinalacken for two nights in September and it was certainly one of the highlights of our trip around Ireland. The house is a blend of an older, heritage building with a newer wing added on - but this addition is done seamlessly. There is also the original castle about 20m away which the owners are happy to... More
