The best places for a golfbreak: Rosapenna, Ballyliffin & more...

Rosapenna Golf Resort****

Rosapenna Golf Resort

Without a doubt, Rosapenna is the best value golf resort in Ireland for lovers of links golf.  The two courses at Rosapenna are pure links from start to finish - and there are others around as well.  A modern hotel that was well-designed and well-built to offer very comfortable rooms (on a US scale).  The location overlooking the beach and close to town could not be better.  The bar is welcoming and the food and service in the restaurant exemplary.  What more could a roving golfer want?

Bedrooms are large enough to make for comfortable Twin accommodation (nearly all have a Double and a Single bed); bathrooms are all regularly refurbished, so you'll find them bright and spotlessly clean.  The rooms with the balconies overlooking the bay are worth a little extra.

After your golf (and maybe a little time in the Clubhouse) the excellent hotel restaurant awaits with its panoramic windows offering views over the course and the beach.  Should you wish to go out for dinner, there are two-or-three good little places in the village to try.

For further relaxation the Rosapenna Hotel also has a good-sized indoor pool (the North Atlantic can be chilly even in the height of Summer!) and a few spa facilities too, should you need a massage.
And after dinner, cue a little snooker, maybe?

Ballyliffin Townhouse***

For afficionados of Ballyliffin's two wild links courses, there are a few hotels in the local town that will give you maximum access and minimum driving to the first Tee; of these, the Ballyliffin Townhouse is our favourite.

Hiding behind a rather ordinary frontage is a delightful, small, family-owned-and-run hotel where you will be made exceptionally welcome.  Bedrooms at the Ballyliffin Townhouse are well-sized so comfortable for two; bathrooms are nice and modern.

Post-golf there is a snug bar for a therapeutic tipple and a good restaurant too - very handy for tired feet after 36-holes in the gentle breezes.  However, if you have the energy to venture out for dinner, there are two-or-three good little places in the town as well.

A nice little surprise at the Ballyliffin Townhouse is the spa area, complete with hottub in the garden, should you be feeling brave/foolish enough to abandon your clothing outdoors!
