Staff were really friendly and attentive, even management. The room was clean, bright and well furnished. My only gripe would be that the bed was quite uncomfortable. We... More

Just back from a two day break in the Strand Hotel Ballyliffin. Had been told before we went that the hotel was a bit tired and run down, and that a neighbouring hotel The Ballyliffin Lodge was much nicer.

Stayed for a 2 night break in April. Staff couldn't have done more for us. Very accommodating. Comfortable rooms and beautiful food. Really resasonable price for food and drink. Handy to carndonagh for more pubs and sight seeing. Highly recommend it. Can't wait to go back!
