Another superb stay at Ballyliffin Lodge!
We had a 2 night stay in late January and thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Our superior room was warm, clean and very comfortable with excellent views across the bay. We dined both nights in Jack's bar and the food was delicious. Served hot with good portion sizes and a reasonably priced bottle of house wine. The bar staff were very attentive and efficient. A special mention to Helen who looked after us so well at breakfast time....such a lovely lady and a real asset to the hotel.
