Top Ballyfin Hotel Reviews

Recent Reviews in Ballyfin

Hugh Lynch's Self Catering Accommodation

10/10 Excellent

"The rooms and the hallways have all new flooring and new clothing cupboards. Bed and bedding were comfortable, with a hair dryer available upon request. The kitchen are is fantastic and fully equipped with two stoves, 5 fridges, microwave toaster etc. The front staff were friendly and responsive. I arrived quite early to drop my luggage however they were able to get me into my room, which was fantastic. I would stay here again without question. Location was excellent as well. My only recommendation would be for a larger sign to be placed on the building. Very small sign near the door and it directs you to the back. It directs for you to call them, however I had my primary number turned off to avoid high fees, however I emailed them and she was at the door within 5 minutes! Well worth the stay and I would go back."

The Heritage

10/10 Excellent

"This was a lovely hotel with great food, spacious rooms with comfortable beds and the staff were very helpful. The lack of air conditioning in the rooms was annoying. This might not always be an issue, but it was when we were there as the rooms were extremely hot. We asked for fans and these were then provided which did help. The other issue was the number of guests smoking right at the front door so that we had to walk through a cloud of smoke on the way in. It wasn’t the best first impression of the hotel, especially when travelling with small children who also had to go through this. We asked if there was a side door we could use but were told there was not. On the whole, we did enjoy our stay and we would recommend The Heritage."

Midlands Park Hotel

8/10 Good

"Lovely hotel but didn't quite feel like a 4 star. The little extras you'd expect just weren't there. Room was clean, spacious and comfortable but the was only a kettle for instant tea/ coffee! Breakfast was lovely. Staff on reception were very helpful but the lady in the bar restauraunt was rather rude. The swimming pool was great. Small jacuzzi and the sauna wasn't hot enough."
