This is a beautiful B&B, situated on lush grounds. The owner, Mary, was a wonderful hostess. The rooms were comfortable and tastefully decorated, as was the whole house and the gardens were beautiful. There was ample parking. The breakfasts were delicious and we enjoyed a special treat of hot croissants one morning. The town was conveniently within a few minutes walking distance.

We thought the hostess, Mary, was very friendly but didn't freely offer any info/advice on the area. The house was nice - well furnished, nice guest areas including a sitting room with lots of books and a lounge with a TV and stack of DVDs. The gardens were beautiful, Todd the dog was a sweetie. We stayed 3 nights and our main complaint was that we hit our limit on hard, uncomfortable, springs poking you in the back beds.

Lisdoonvarna is a nice little town, great home base to explore the Burren - best activity there is the Hawk Walk at the Burren Bird of Prey Center at Aillwee Caves. Flying Harris Hawks was AWESOME!

Highly recommended - this was a great B&B and worth every penny. Will definitely recommend it to anyone.

We stayed at the Ballinsheen in October. It was downpouring when we arrived, and we looked like drowned rats, but Mary welcomed us warmly. She recommended a pub in town for dinner, which was excellent. Our accomendations were good sized, clean, warm and comfortable. Our breakfast the following morning was in a lovely breakfast room. We would highly recommend a stay here. Irish hospitality at its best!
