We stayed in the Ballinalacken Castle Country House Hotel for 2 nights in May and thought it was wonderful. The rooms were clean and neat, the beds were extremely comfortable, there was a pub located in the hotel, along with a very good restaurant. Just outside our door was a Castle ruin, which is owned by the hotel, which Declan... More

We stayed one night at the country house, and it was lovely. We had a long day of being on the road & seeing many sights, we arrived in the evening a little tired and ready for our room & food. We were not disappointed! The service was top-notch, our room was beyond lovely with antique furniture and views of... More

We are just finishing up a week long stay at the Ballinalacken castle country house, we had planned to cover much of the island during our 10day visit but once we arrived at Ballinalacken on day 3 we took up residence for the remainder and used it as home base for day trips all around county Clare.

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. Arriving on a drizzly and grey day with strong winds, all I hoped for was to have a warm and cozy room to seek refuge in. Unfortunately, the radiator in the room was... More

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
