My partner and l recently returned to Clare and spent the night at BallinalackenCastle. We have stayed here previously and have always had a lovely pleasant experience. We arrived on a wet miserable April evening. But the misery outside soon evaporated once we entered.We were met at the desk by Cecelia, she was very friendly and welcomed us back. We... More

We stayed two nights at Ballinalacken Castle Country House. After being shown two rooms, we decided on a room in the older part of the hotel as it had far more charm then the room in the newer part of the hotel. It was a corner room with one window facing the cliffs and the other a meadow. The four... More

We stayed here for two nights recently and dined here on one of those nights. The grounds are lovely but the entry gate and driveway are a bit tricky. The house itself is very pleasant with many interesting period touches. Our room was comfy but not luxurious. The bedding could use feather pillows and duvets rather than foam pillows and... More

After searching for a nice quaint hotel for my wife and I to stay in our first visit to Co.Clare. I have to say I was disappointed. The radiator in our room had a mind of its own after spending a day at the cliffs we returned to a cold room and no way to turn on the heating. In... More

We stayed here for one night (thankfully!) on our trip around Ireland and I had high expectations for a quaint castle dwelling, which unfortunately were not met.

My sister and I shared a clean and nicely appointed twin room for a one-night stay here. We arrived at dinner hour and were immediately seated in the dining room. The food was excellent both at dinner and at breakfast the next morning (I ordered the fruit pancakes which turned out to be light crepes with a fruit filling -... More

We had a lovely stay here. The rooms were big and although our view of the castle wasn't great we had a few cats walk by which made our son's day each time. The breakfast was wonderful and enjoyed the view while eating. The front desk gave very good directions for the next leg of our trip and appreciated their... More

My wife and have just returned from spending a couple of days here. It's the perfect base for touring the attractions of County Clare. We were lucky to have good weather for two of our three days....the third one wasn't bad either! Cecilia and Anita made sure that our stay was comfortable. The room was very comfortable and breakfasts were... More

We stayed here last year and it was absolute bliss. The hotel is in a beautiful location only a short trip from Doolin, the Cliffs of Moher and numerous other tourist attractions.We were greeted by Celia who was so welcoming and friendly. Her husband Declan took us on a private tour of the old castle ruins and filled us in... More
