The Cliff Restaurant in Ballybunion

Marvellous small hotel overlooking the ladies beach. Great restaurant, lovely owners and staff.

Just had the most wonderful experience with Fiona & her staff last weekend, was my mothers birthday we had 9 for Sunday lunch a few were late , we had the most wonderful lunch everyone was delighted with their meal and to cap it all off Fiona landed with the most delicious biscuit cake omg to die for ! The only downer is that they are closing this weekend a shame they won’t remain open for the winter ! Thank you Micheal Moran

Stopped here for dinner after a trip to the beach on Sunday (28/09) couldn't fault the service or the staff. Made my day that they had dairy free ice cream too as normally I would have to go without.

Excellent location. The quiet seaside location with the beach and cliffwalk being just steps from the front door. Downtown Ballybunnion is just a short walk from the hotel. My room was spacious, with a very nice view of Ballybunnion and the ocean. The restaurant was excellent, featuring traditional items as well as many locally sourced specials. I cannot tell you enough how gracious and helpful Fiona, Kevin, and the entire staff was for my two night stay. After travel difficulties prior to arrival, they greeted me with warmth and helped bring ease after a very difficult day. Their warmth and care helped ensure my trip was as great as it could possibly could be. I cannot extend enough personal gratitude to them. If I could give 20 stars, I would.

Could not fault it. The staff are so friendly and helpful

Friendly, well run. Bar and restaurant as well. Fiona and Kevin, the owners, committed to making sure your stay is a positive experience. Best stay in Ballybunion.

Our stay at the Cliff House Hotel was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warm, friendly service that set the tone for the rest of our visit. Every member of the staff went out of their way to make us feel at home. The food was a highlight—creative, beautifully presented, and absolutely delicious. Each meal was a treat, with fresh, local ingredients and thoughtful attention to detail. Whether we were enjoying breakfast with a sea breeze or dinner as the sun set, the dining experience was top-tier. The views from the hotel are simply breathtaking. Perched right on the coast, the Cliff House offers panoramic vistas of the sea that are as calming as they are stunning. And if you’re looking to get even closer to the water, the beach is just a short, scenic walk away. All in all, the Cliff House Hotel is a perfect blend of comfort, beauty, and impeccable hospitality. We can’t wait to return.

Lovely hotel. Great location Excellent restaurant. Lovely friendly staff, Fiona is always so welcoming and helpful.
