Ballyliffin Lodge

With impressive views of Malin Head ★★★, this hotel is a relaxing place to stay. Bedrooms, which take full advantage of the gorgeous views, are nice and spacious, with muted, autumnal decor. The hotel can help organize plenty of activities, from horseback riding to surfing and golf. The in-house spa, Rock Crystal, provides a welcome respite at the end of a long day’s travel, with prices that are a lot more reasonable than they would be in an equivalent place in a more visited part of the country. The in-house restaurant is good but pricey—a bowl of pasta with tomatoes and basil will set you back €16.
