By far the most welcoming and coolest B&B we stayed at! Marry and James are sweeter than my own grandparents and made sure our stay met all of our expectations. The room was perfect and our favorite stay of our Ireland trip. Priced at a very reasonable and affordable rate. We want to plan a trip back in the summer to stay and golf!

Couldn't be any better, already the BEST.

Our second trip to Ballybunion, and the 2nd time at the 19th Golf Lodge. James and Mary are wonderful owner/hosts. They take great pride in their facility and their reputation for making sure that their guests have a enjoyable, carefree experience staying at the Lodge. They truly have your best interests at heart.

Mary and James were perfect hosts - just the Irish hospitality that we had been hoping for ! The accommodation is a short walk from the Ballybunion Golf Club, which served excellent food at reasonable prices. Our room, the Tom Watson Suite, was very spacious, clean and was furnished with quality classic furniture. We would happily return.

We have been in. Ireland for two weeks, and this was the best shower and most comfortable bed we have had since we arrived. Our hosts were absolutely charming and helpful, and the room had a great view of the golf course. We had not booked breakfast as we had intended to breakfast at the golf club. However, on viewing what was on offer, we changed our minds. So glad we did breakfast was exceptional.

We cannot say anything negative about our experience.

Everything ! Spacious, comfortable, classic Irish atmosphere. Wonderful attention to detail combining the best of old and new amenities. Quality Killarney wool blankets and Irish linen along with modern power shower. Beautiful architecture. Hospitality a solid 11 out of 10 ! James & Mary are simply fantastic hosts. We arrived late at night on motorcycles. James was very welcoming and gave us a place to park the bikes. He brought us up to the room and arranged a taxi into town. James and Mary were there in the morning serving a great breakfast consisting of locally sourced ingredients and making sure we had enjoyed our stay. This perfectly set us up for another long day of adventure. We felt like family. Did not want to leave. We can’t wait to come back ! Superb!
