Definitely the place to stay if you're looking to do a pub crawl or night out, as it's above a pub. I have no complaints and would definitely stay there again.

It was a lovely room and nice and quiet as no music on in pub below. Really good for the price we paid. Twin room had two super king beds. Only downside was water wasn’t warm enough for a shower in the morning. Apart from that it was all good.

Very clean room, modern, comfy beds and lovely fluffy towels. Only downside is the noise outside which really has nothing to do with the rooms, but apart from that it was lovely. Added bonus to be able to use the ballyliffin leisure facilities. Great wee find

The room is very good/excellent. Very clean. 2 huge comfort beds. Decent shower although the head was attached to a very short fixed?? Could have done with a smaller shower head or a longer fixed arm to get the drench effect from the large head. Parking is on street but no problem at all. Plenty of places to eat within 2 minutes walk. A little bit of noise from people down in the bar at turning out time but not bad and after midnight not a sound! Overall pretty good value and comfortable.
