Lovely hotel in the countryside. I stayed with my cousin, we had three nights here and had breakfast and dinner for most of them. Lovely menus. Cosy well-appointed rooms, common areas are lovely too - the bar is very small but inviting. Take the tour in the evenings with the owner of the old castle, Declan does a great guide.

We stayed here for one night and it was great. Takes a while to get there through winding roads and is is secluded. Great view of the ocean and tour of the castle was better than expected. Sunset at night was spectacular over the ocean. Staff was very friendly and we would come back and stay again. Definitely a recommended stay!

The hotel is on a hill that gives you perfect views of the ocean, islands, and the Cliffs of Moher. It was a gorgeous place to relax in the morning. Every spot of the hotel and grounds are immaculate and lovely. They also gave a tour of the castle ruins and told us about its history. The service, food, and room were all perfect - it was such a treat for us.

We had a lovely time in the country manor. The dinner and breakfast were delicious. The tour of the old tower was a special treat. The pub is precious and the rooms really comfortable. I highly recommend the wildflower candle made locally as well!

It was a fantastic way to wrap up our trip after visiting Cliffs of Moher on our last day, only wish we had budgeted a bit more time at Ballinalacken as it was so pretty and relaxing. The rooms are enormous and literally every window had a beautiful view. We made time for the quick tour of the castle ruins which was also really cool then had a wonderful dinner. All the staff members were very welcoming, too!

Lovely couple running this lovely small country motel. We stayed three nights, ate in for dinner for two, it was lovely. The host conducts tours of the castle each afternoon, it was fascinating. The surrounds are lovely, so much to see. Would come back if I lived closer.
