This was such a lovely place to stay. The staff were welcoming and friendly. When our wedding photo shoot had to be relocated due to the weather the hotel accommodated us on the property and helped make our time special. This location has so many beautiful hidden gems. Make sure you tour the whole gardens around the property. This was a highlight of our two weeks in Ireland.

This hotel was expensive but lovely. The food was excellent. The staff very helpful. The only thing that wasn’t good was the lift didn’t function. The gardens were exquisite and this is a wedding venue.

Beautiful property on the ocean, great view. Nice dining. Nice dinner and breakfast. Great history. Only issue was that they didn’t reflect the Expedia reservation, took a bit of time to resolve. This was the only property on Ireland that didn’t have our Expedia reservation. Don’t let that discourage booking this property, but do reconfirm a few days before arrival.

Ballygally is a quiet, beachside village. It's a little lacking in anything other than the hotel so coffee/snacks at the hotel would have been good.
