Ballyliffin Lodge and Spa, a family-run 4-star hotel and Ireland’s most northerly of its kind, proudly celebrates its 20th anniversary this June.
For two decades, The Lodge has been a beacon of exceptional hospitality in the North West, consistently delivering top-tier service to its guests. The hotel features 40 well-appointed guest rooms, specializes in hosting weddings and events (including ceremonies at the Gate Lodge), offers cuisine crafted from local produce, and provides excellent leisure and spa services.
Furthermore, it’s a renowned golf destination, situated just 3km from the world-class Ballyliffin Golf Club, boasting two impressive links courses. As Rory McIlroy himself notes: “Ballyliffin’s two courses are a must play on any golf trip to Ireland”.
Constantly striving for improvement and adapting to guest needs, the hotel has seen significant investment over the years, evident in its facilities and offerings. Nestled in the charming village of Ballyliffin, the Lodge offers breathtaking views of Malin Head and the North Atlantic coastline, allowing guests to savor the invigorating coastal air. Paired with a friendly and professional local staff, a visit to The Lodge is a must for anyone planning a Donegal getaway.
Hotel Proprietors Sean and Mary Keogh, along with their children Niamh, Caitlin, Diarmait, and Alaina, take immense pride in the hotel and are delighted with its evolution.
Sean Keogh stated: “On behalf of my family, I’m thrilled to celebrate the success of our wonderful hotel for the past 20 years. The hospitality industry certainly presents challenges, from the pandemic to global events, but we’ve persevered in driving the hotel forward, investing consistently, and upholding the Ballyliffin Lodge’s reputation for quality in Ballyliffin and Inishowen. I’m incredibly proud of our hotel and our dedicated staff, and I look forward to the next 20 years of growth and improvement. I also want to extend a sincere thank you to all our customers for their unwavering support – it is truly appreciated.”

Thank you for your continued support, for enjoying our services, and for making our hotel your ‘home from home’ – it means the world to us. The hotel has transformed dramatically over the last 20 years, with significant investment in areas such as becoming arguably the ‘greenest hotel in Ireland’. This is a testament to the hard work of everyone involved and demonstrates that even small, rural businesses can lead the way in setting standards and exceeding expectations.”
“Looking ahead, we’re continuing to invest this year by upgrading all our hotel guest rooms and corridors. This large-scale project will benefit both guests and staff for many years to come, and we are excited to share this next chapter with you all.”
