Ballyliffin Hotel

THE BALLYLIFFIN HOTEL WHERE I STAYED WAS A NICE HOTEL FOR A QUIET GET AWAY, THE ROOM WAS CLEAN WITH NO FRILLS. THE FOOD AND DRINK WAS OF A HIGH STANDARD AND REASONABLY PRICED . THE STAFF ARE VERY FRIENDLY AND ALL WAYS WILLING TO GIVE ASSISTANCE IF REQUIRED .

We found a Pig's Back offer for the Ballyliffin Hotel that would have been rude not to take. We decided on mid Nov when the weather took an upturn, and had a fantastic pre-Christmas rush two day break in the Ballyliffin Hotel. The reception and dining areas are very well presented with fresh decor. The bedroom (239) was spotless, (as was the shower room), one double bed and good storage. One chair between the two of us wasn't great as I had to watch TV on bed, hubby having a bad back and needing the chair - though maybe a health and safety issue as two chairs at the end of the bed would have been tight. We had a slight issue as the heating wasn't on on arrival and it had turned chilly, but all it took was a word with reception to remedy this. We looked "downtown" and had a small amount of sea view, overlooked the car park and heard very little noise. Minimal vehicles pass the hotel late or early. Food was excellent - the hot breakfast was not standard fry option - but you could have a large or small fry, and various less usual options such as the maple syrup, bacon and pancake option which I highly recommend. The muesli and plain yogurt was excellent too, topped with a little fruit salad. Husband enjoyed honey and blueberries on his porridge. The proper coffee is a lovely change in a hotel breakfast room. We had turkey and ham dinner to encourage the pre-Christmas spirit and it was delicious, plentiful, and piping hot. We were so full that one desert was sufficient between two. Highly recommend this hotel if you want a quiet seaside break in comfort, and like good plain food.

This hotel had some of the friendliest staff I have encountered in a long time. Always pleasant, willing to help and checking in on you during meals. Fantastic to have a good menu in the hotel bar as we stayed mid-week and a lot of the places we had wanted to go to were operating on weekends only so we ate at the hotel and enjoyed our dinners there.
