My husband and I had only one night's stay in Lisdoonvarna at the Ballinsheen House. I wish we could have stayed longer in the area as it's quite lovely. The Ballinsheen House was so very nice--very clean, lovely room, and quiet. Looking at google maps, it makes it seem as if the guesthouse is farther from town than it actually... More

Thank you to our hostess for opening your home as a B & B. It is beautifully decorated. The breakfast was plentiful and delicious. The location is very convenient to Cliffs of Moher and The Burren area. More

This B&B was so inviting and well located that we extended our stay for the 4 of us an additional night and made it our home base for part of our vacation. Mary is one of the most organized people I've met. Every detail was well done...the rooms, the grounds and breakfast. Lisdoonvarna has several restaurants and pubs with nightly... More

We found Ballinsheen House in Lisdoonvarna through a guide book. It's in a lovely spot, elevated on a hill with beautiful garden landscape. Mary, the owner, was so cordial & answered our questions and gave advice. We had a spotless room on the 2nd floor overlooking a territorial view. This was a great location to go to the Cliffs of...

We were just sad we didn't spend more time there. We arrived late at night, after getting a flat tire just as we were arriving in Lisdoonvarna. Mary was so gracious to wait up for us and didn't seem put out at all. The next morning, she helped us contact the local mechanic in town who then made a house... More
