About this property

This country house hotel has a quiet location, looking out over the Cliffs of Moher, the Aran Islands and Galway Bay. It has free parking, luxury rooms and an award-winning restaurant. The Ballinalacken Castle Country House Hotel is on the West Coast of Ireland, 4 miles from the spa town of Lisdoonvarna and 3 miles from the village of Doolin. The house was built in 1840 and is now a family-run hotel. It mixes original charm with modern comforts. The large en suite rooms are traditionally decorated.
