If you are traveling to Doolin, this is a don't miss. It is a lovely B&B, many rooms in a old house, with a real live castle on the grounds. Celia and Deckland are some of the loveliest hosts in Ireland and really made our trip extraordinary. They have a fine dining restaurant where we celebrated our last night with... More

My husband, mother and I have returned from another wonderful stay at the Ballinalacken. We return often, and one of the reasons is the hospitality of Declan, Cecilia, Mary and Denis O'Callaghan. They are consummate hosts, always pleasant, friendly, helpful and welcoming. We love the panoramic, spectacular views from the hotel, you can see the Cliffs of Moher and Aran... More

Thanks to Declan and Celia for the wonderful experience! We all enjoyed our visit and the food and accommodation were stellar. The view of the sun setting and the Cliffs of Moher were incredible.

It is pretty expensive, but I think it is very nice. We look forward to coming to Ballinalacken again. More

The rooms are luxury and have brillant views of the sea. Rates are reasonable enough. Cecillie will see you right from check-in to check -out. We will... More

Stayed in this hotel on the October Bank holiday weekend.We availed of the dinner bed&breakfast deal. We dont normally stay in small hotels but I think that I am now converted to small boutique hotels.What set this apart from the normal hotel is the interaction with family members who go out of their way to help you enjoy your stay....
