Ballymascanlon Hotel and Golf Resort

Fabulous stay!! A beautiful property. Our room was huge, it was so lovely to be able to rest, spread out and open our bags easily. We loved having a bath and enjoyed the space and decor of the room. The resort itself is away from the town, costing us about 15 Euros in a taxi to get into town and then another 15 Euros to come back. We decided after that to stay in the hotel and use the facilities there. We were very surprised with the prices of beer and wine in the hotel, which were pretty similar to the pubs. We enjoyed a few evenings in the bar and ate the soup and chicken wings - which were great. Breakfast was amazing too! The staff were so lovely, Paula in the bar, Jacqueline and Emily in the restaurant, as well as Tommy and Natalia. Everyone was so very friendly and we had a lot of fun while we were there. We had just finished a 3 week drive around Ireland and Northern Ireland, and were looking for somewhere to fill in 3 nights before heading back to Dublin. Very good value for money - with lovely walking opportunities as well as the chance for a steam, spa and swim in the resort.

Standard nice hotel. Probably used to be a beautiful old house but now with a modern, functional extension built on at the back. Pity. However, all very clean and the family room was a decent size. A little too hot at night, but we managed to open a window. Great big buffet breakfast with large selection of pastries, cereals, fruit, yoghurt, ham and cheese and cooked breakfast. Very friendly staff. We didn't avail of the leisure centre in the end, but it looked good. Fascinating ancient dolmen/portal tomb on the grounds that is definitely worth a visit.

What's not to like, the hotel is set in beautiful grounds and the facilities are super, the swimming pool is a nice temperature and not too heavily chlorinated, the sauna is spacious and heavenly after a swim, steam room also lovely. The jacuzzi is great but more chlorinated but so good. The outdoor hot tub is bliss. As regards the hotel itself, the bedroom we had was lovely, the bed was Soo comfy and we had proper mugs for tea and coffee instead of the standard cream cups and saucers. The bar food was delicious, generous portions and value for money and the hotel itself was so lovely. There's a lovely walked garden to walk around and a 10 minute walk takes you out to the Proleek Dolmen. Worth seeing..for golf lovers there's an 18 hole golf course and overall a wonderful wonderful venue. Must give Luke a mention, once you get past his shy exterior he is a lovely lovely lad. A great asset to the staff. He can't do enough for you and he's such a gentle lovely person..

Gorgeous grounds, excellent food and brilliant staff!

I booked this with my 11+12 year old daughters. It exceeded expectations. The room was big, beds were super comfy too. The swimming pool was fantastic. I enjoyed the hot tub, sauna, steam room, ice bath and outside jacuzzi , while the girls played in the pool. The staff are very helpful and Friendly too. The breakfast was stunning too.
