Ballyliffin Town House
Ballyliffin Town House is a multi-award-winning boutique base right on Ireland's northern fringe, perfectly placed for a proper Donegal links break. Set in the heart of Ballyliffin village on the Wild Atlantic Way, it's the sort of place that feels relaxed and personal rather than 'big resort' formal. Better still, you're less than a mile from Ballyliffin Golf Club, host venue for the 2018 Irish Open, so early tee times and easy post-round downtime are both sorted.
Golf aside, the setting is a big part of the appeal. You've got Malin Head close by for a coastal spin, plus local landmarks like Knockamany Bens, Carrickabraghey Castle and Straid Chapel if you fancy a few photos between rounds. Back at the hotel, guests get homemade cakes and breads free of charge, which is a small touch but very on-brand for a warm Donegal welcome.
If you're building a trip around Ballyliffin's links and want a characterful village stay with pubs and restaurants within walking distance, this is a strong shout. If you're plotting a wider swing through the region, the Wild Atlantic Way runs right past the door, so you can stitch golf and sightseeing together without overthinking the logistics.
Who is this for?
Golfers looking for a boutique hotel experience in one of Ireland's most scenic and unspoilt regions, with easy access to championship links golf and the Wild Atlantic Way.
Who is it best for?
Groups and couples who value character, location and genuine hospitality over large-scale resort facilities, particularly those planning a multi-course tour of Donegal's links courses or combining golf with coastal sightseeing.

Accommodation at Ballyliffin Town House
Rooms at Ballyliffin Town House are spacious and finished to a high standard, making it an easy place to switch off after a windy day on the links. Expect a boutique feel throughout, with a small-scale, friendly atmosphere and staff who are genuinely helpful when it comes to local recommendations. If you're travelling as a couple, it's peaceful and cosy. If you're coming as a group, it works well as a sociable base because everything in the village is close.
Breakfast is freshly prepared and sets you up properly for the day ahead. If you're teeing off early at Ballyliffin, you'll appreciate not having to compromise on quality or rush around. The homemade cakes and breads are a lovely bonus too, especially when you get back in from the coast or fancy something light before heading out for dinner.
Location-wise, this is where the Town House really earns its place on a Donegal itinerary. You can walk to local pubs and restaurants in Ballyliffin, which is ideal if you want a post-round pint without worrying about driving. For golf, you're less than a mile from Ballyliffin Golf Club's Old Links and Glashedy Links, so it's a straightforward hop to the first tee and just as easy getting back afterwards.
If you're planning a multi-course tour, you're also well positioned to explore more of Donegal's links scene while still keeping a comfortable, village-centre base. The hotel's boutique scale means you get personal service and attention to detail, with a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere that feels more like staying with friends than checking into a chain. In short, it's a quality stay for golfers who want comfort, character and convenience rather than a sprawling resort set-up.
