Ballyliffin Lodge


Inishowen, Co. Donegal

The first thing that will strike you about Ballyliffin Lodge & Spa is the spectacular panoramic view of Malin Head and the Inishowen coastline taking in the world famous Ballyliffin Golf Club, the golden sands of Pollan Bay and the Atlantic ocean. Private and intimate, set in its own 2.5 acre site in the heart of Ballyliffin village, the drama of its views is continued as you enter its beautifully designed interior where traditional charm and luxury is woven into the very fabric of the exquisite décor.

Ballyliffin Lodge spa and leisure complex is unique in this area of Donegal and along with neighbouring Ballyliffin Golf Club's two links courses is proving to be an attraction with an international reputation. The old links course has been designed by Nick Faldo and is amongst the elite few courses that always make the 'A' list of discerning golfers from Europe and America.

It is rare to find such a combination of attractions in one establishment but a stay in Ballyliffin Lodge and spa whether for golf, wedding, walking, keep fit or simply chilling out and escaping the rigours of modern living, will calm your spirit, relax your body and rejuvenate your soul.




Our Take

Stayed here with a golfing party, which is the main group that you will meet here. Many Americans coming to play Ballyliffin, which has two excellent links golf courses (well worth playing both of them - the Old course is very traditional, lots of bumps and hollows - the Glashedy is a real challenge (take lots of balls if it's windy)). The food was superb, excellent choices, well presented and staff were friendly and attentive. Large breakfast menu, catering for the full range of likes.
