My wife and I have just returned from a lovely weekend at the Ballyliffin Lodge Hotel in Donegal. The hotel is quite small and modern and very comfortable and quite. The staff from the receptionist to the cleaners were extremely friendly and efficient and made our stay very relaxing. We had all our meals in the hotel bar/restaurant and cannot fault the quality of the food or the service - both were faultless. Our room and en-suite bathroom were clean, modern and very comfortable with tea and coffee and a flat screen tv in the bedroom and a selection of toileteries in the bathroom.

We were very impressed with the spa - my wife and I (!!) had a selection of treatments from two extremely friendly, professional and helpful therapists. We used the swimming pool, the sauna and the steam room which were clean, modern and quiet.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will be back.

My partner and I visited the hotel several years ago and had been wanting to come back for a while. We availed of the Lazy Sunday and Monday two night offer. This was great value, including one evening meal in the bar. We opted for an upgrade to the superior room and were allocated a massive room on the top floor with excellent views to the sea.
The room and hotel was in great condition and the service was very friendly as we had remembered before.
The fitness suite and spa were excellent and really made up for the horrible weather outside at the time - going for a walk was not an option on the Monday in the heavy rain!
A perfect relaxing break.

I wanted to take my wife away for our wedding anniversary to surprise her. She had never been to Ireland and a friend suggested we visit Ballyliffin. I found the hotel on Tripadvisor and it sounded perfect – and it was. I called them directly and was asked when I made my booking what the purpose was for my visit. I mentioned it was our wedding anniversary and thought nothing else of it.

We flew from the UK into Derry. I asked the hotel if they could arrange a taxi to collect us and they were waiting at the airport as we came out of the departure lounge.
On arrival at the hotel the lady on reception wished us a happy anniversary and said if we wanted we could have the bridal suite as it was not booked that night. My wife asked if it was the room with the balcony. It was not and as she likes rooms with balconies she asked if we could have that and was delighted when it was available.
The hotel lounge is ideal for afternoon tea as it has a lovely fireplace and big windows overlooking the sea. There are two very good restaurants at the hotel, my wife preferred the fine dining but I liked the gastro pub which had really good food and a friendly atmosphere.

Breakfast was a cold buffet and hot food cooked to order which was huge. The bacon, eggs and sausages were really tasty, proper meaty food served on hot plates.

There are interesting places to visit in the area and the beach is great for a brisk walk. I do play golf but not on my wedding anniversary, however the golf course is very good and we have already booked to return next year so I can play golf while my wife relaxes in the spa.

My wife and I have just returned from a three night stay in the Ballyfiffin Lodge in Donegal.
It was our first visit to this establishment and our expectations were exceeded.The receptionist made us feel very welcome from the outset, and we were relaxed in no time. In fact, all the staff were personable, and made every effort to make us feel at home. We needed some assistance with directions for local walks, and the guidance we got was first class.
The Leisure Center was one of best we have visited, with a well laid out Gym, and the Pool area "ticked all the boxes". My wife was very impressed with the Spa, and noted that it was good value, compared to our home city.
The restaurant had reasonably good food, at competitive prices, whilst the atmosphere in the bar was very warm. The satuday night entertainment really turned a good night into a great one.
The room we were allocated was first class ( with fantastic views), so much so that we would request it when we visit again.
All told, this was a most pleasant experience, and we are already planning a return visit to this Ballyliffin hotel in the Spring.
