Romantic Hotels in Ballina

Nice warm hotel full of original fixtures and #grand tour collection pieces and features, relaxing music by the fire but missing a trick by not having a speaker placed inside the grand piano, and pretending it was 'haunted' and playing all by itself. Good Barman / pints of Guinness and evening meal at the excellent Library Restaurant ( turbot flatfish tastes just like a salmon/cod hybrid and has 'two' eyes on one side of his head y'kno ! ) with a hearty morning breakfast and prompt service from the Jack Fenn's renovated stables & courtyard restaurant. Sleep Joe was in town so the girls were a little delirious, but the basement museum was well equipped with all manner of 'we have vays to make you talk' implements and medieval weaponry that might take him to task on his foreign policy objectives if he ever stumbled off-piste / full of Jameson from the safety of his beefed up battalion. 200 million year old relics were interesting ( no I don't mean Nancy Pelosi, she was left behind to mind the white house ) with all manner of petrified trees, dinosaur bones, jaws and pre-historic trilobites and cool fibonacci stone imprints down at the castle's dungeons, gave an interesting insight into how the world has de-evolved into a genderless species obsessed with virtual likes & insta-selfies since the halcyon days of prescribing torture was discontinued.

Genuine old style luxury, all the staff were friendly and helpful. Eggs benedict for breakfast was the best to date.

Room, breakfast, and location. Everyone was great.

Great location. Very spacious apartment. Very clean. Comfortable beds. Courtyard was quiet and peaceful. Restaurant had delicious offerings. Parking was perfect.

The view was spectacular and the room was so welcoming and comfortable. The breakfast was fabulous and the service was very good. The dinner was very tasty and the restaurant so bright and comfortable.

Great location right next to the beach - separated by the dune. central to restaurants and grocery shopping. we stayed in March and we’re very cozy. Jim was welcoming and a good host.
