The property is very nice, but their policies are not. Be very aware that this place does a lot of special events and when those special events take place, room guests are treated like second class citizens Noise till 1pm, no parking….I needed to park 1/4 mile away. The staff and manager could care less. I would never stay there again.

This hotel is in a great location with wonderful views. It is family owned and has a warm and friendly ambience. The facilities are good overall, although some aspects are a little tired. The pool is pleasant. Breakfasts are excellent, and we also enjoyed the food from the bar menu. Staff are mist helpful.

Amazing hotel and spa with phenomenal views out to sea. Small village with few amenities so hire car essential. It’s VERY popular as a wedding venue and evenings can be loud music with drunken guests banging doors until the small hours. That said, reception apologised on check out and gave a generous credit as compensation.

Stayed 2 nights (Fri & sat) on B & B. Got one of the back rooms looking into a field scatted with old PVC windows as a backdrop. Room very basic and quite cold with the heating controls needing constant attention. Small TV with very limited stations available contrary to what it states in the hotel room folder. The hotel is at best a 3* with pool facilities, again a limited selection of drinks available in the bar, thankfully Nancy’s Barn is close by for food

Our balcony room was spacious, and the sea view was beautiful. The bed was very comfortable. The room is definitely dated (no smart TV, worn out materials, etc). The location is okay; there isn't much nearby and driving the narrow roads is a bit, precarious, though there is a waterfall and monestary ruin about 5 min drive away which is worth a visit. I appreciated the spacious bathroom. The spa was very nice, and our massages were great. Our room didn't have aircon, and it did get a little warm. We opened the slider door, and that was perfect, but without a screen we didn't feel comfortable leaving it open all night. I wasn't impressed by the restuarant. Nothing I had there was very good (I am being generous--it wasn't good at all), and they desperately need to put out water for easy access at breakfast (having to ask for it is a pain). It's a nice hotel, but it could be improved with updates.

Lovely relaxing night away with the husband. From check in to check out was faultless. We stayed in Room 112 ... beautiful big comfy bed in spacious room. The bathroom was a bit tired, towel rack behind the door could do with being replaced and bath panel could do with a revamp. We didnt have any treatments in Spa but the pool was lovely and warm and we enjoyed steam room etc. The pool very rowdy and noisy around 7pm young lads loud and jumping in and out of pool. This appeared to annoy others who were trying to relax in jacuzzi and one lady said she came down at 7pm for quiet time when no kids were allowed in pool and the noise was worse than a pool full of kids! One other person spoke with pool receptionist and he came out and spoke with the 5 lads .... they may have been friends and his request to calm down fell on deaf ears. The food in Jacks Bar was really nice as was breakfast. The service both at night and in the morning was fantastic the staff really amazing!

On the day of stay, they hosted wedding party, which i was notified by the message through expedia app in advance but i didnt notice. REGARDLESS, I didn't imagine the level of the noise and it continues until 2AM!!!! my room was shaking with the beats and shouts from the club party and it was NO WAY for me to sleep. Quality of sleep is extremely important when traveling particularly with jet lag. This experience at Ballylifin Lodge Hotel that ruined my trip was clearly not what i expected for 4-star hotel. I dont understand i had to pay the full price for this experience. Hotel could have done this differently; better communication with the detail (party until 2 am), limit the volume, allocate room away from the party room (if any room is better), limit the club party by midnight at the latest.

Very good, clean , comfortable, great position, excellent Spa but food in Bar was poor. Carbonara very poor, not seasoned, poor quality of chicken and bacon. Left most of it. Not 4 star maybe 1/2 star. We had food in Nancy's Barn day two, what a difference.

I çould not fault anything.Stall were welcoming and courteous. The bedrooms and hotel wzs spotlessly clean. There was a wide range of food to choose from at breakfast and extensive menu selection for meals throughout the day. Beautiful views looking out to the atlantic ocean.
