Overview

Ballinalacken Castle Hotel is a charming 4 star hotel located close to the picturesque town of Doolin in County Clare. The hotel stands on the grounds of the ancient ruins of the 15th Century Ballinalacken Castle - if you ask the owner Denis O Callaghan nicely you might get the chance to climb the castle and see awe-inspiring views of the area from the top. This is a peaceful location brimming with history, culture and tradition. Take a walk around the grounds and appreciate the wonderful vistas of the Cliffs of Moher, the Atlantic Ocean, the Aran Islands and the rugged and windswept hills of Connemara.
