Lovely relaxing night away with the husband. From check in to check out was faultless. We stayed in Room 112 ... beautiful big comfy bed in spacious room. The bathroom was a bit tired, towel rack behind the door could do with being replaced and bath panel could do with a revamp. We didnt have any treatments in Spa but the pool was lovely and warm and we enjoyed steam room etc. The pool very rowdy and noisy around 7pm young lads loud and jumping in and out of pool. This appeared to annoy others who were trying to relax in jacuzzi and one lady said she came down at 7pm for quiet time when no kids were allowed in pool and the noise was worse than a pool full of kids! One other person spoke with pool receptionist and he came out and spoke with the 5 lads .... they may have been friends and his request to calm down fell on deaf ears.
The food in Jacks Bar was really nice as was breakfast. The service both at night and in the morning was fantastic the staff really amazing!
We received a friendly welcome on arrival. Room was spacious and cosy. Temperature in room can be adjusted easily by guests. Nice pool facilities. Dinner and breakfast was tasty. All in all a lovely place to stay.
On the day of stay, they hosted wedding party, which i was notified by the message through expedia app in advance but i didnt notice. REGARDLESS, I didn't imagine the level of the noise and it continues until 2AM!!!! my room was shaking with the beats and shouts from the club party and it was NO WAY for me to sleep.
Quality of sleep is extremely important when traveling particularly with jet lag. This experience at Ballylifin Lodge Hotel that ruined my trip was clearly not what i expected for 4-star hotel. I dont understand i had to pay the full price for this experience.
Hotel could have done this differently; better communication with the detail (party until 2 am), limit the volume, allocate room away from the party room (if any room is better), limit the club party by midnight at the latest.
Very good, clean , comfortable, great position, excellent Spa but food in Bar was poor. Carbonara very poor, not seasoned, poor quality of chicken and bacon. Left most of it. Not 4 star maybe 1/2 star. We had food in Nancy's Barn day two, what a difference.
We were there for a a wedding and it was perfect! Wonderful can’t wait to go back!

Disappointing. The spa and changing rooms are very tired and dirty in places. The scum line around the jacuzzi was particularly bad. Food was ok. Staff in the restaurant were lovely. Doesn’t feel like a 4 star hotel
A lovely comfortable stay. Hotel is on a beautiful setting close to sea with great views. Water on indoor pool was lovely and warm. Nice steam room. Breakfast substantial with a great choice and service friendly and prompt. Will definitely return

Fabulous 3 night break
I çould not fault anything.Stall were welcoming and courteous. The bedrooms and hotel wzs spotlessly clean. There was a wide range of food to choose from at breakfast and extensive menu selection for meals throughout the day. Beautiful views looking out to the atlantic ocean. Theres an onsite spa and pool so something for everyone
My room was spacious and had a lovely terrace. The staff was very helpful and everything was well cared for and clean. I wish I had a chance to use the beautiful pool area. Maybe next time!
The only one thing that was unpleasant was the staff member on our checking in day. She was very off putting which was disappointing but the rest of the staff and facilities were great. .
