I had a wonderful stay at the Ballyliffin Lodge hotel! The food was exceptional, particularly the breakfasts, and the staff's friendly and helpful nature really made a positive difference. The location was stunning, perfect for enjoying breathtaking seaviews and local attractions. However, I did find Jacks Bar had mixed dining experiences, especially for dinner where the vegetarian options were lacking improvement.
