Great location and easy parking. It's very loud at nighttime being directly above the bar/lounge. I brought a sound machine with and it was still ridiculously loud. Aside from that, great area in the town and nice spot for venturing out on day trips.
It’s over a bar. I knew that. But it’s actually a huge nightclub. The music shook the room and penetrated noise canceling headphones and ear plugs. 2am you are still rocking. The location is good. Parking was easy enough. We are locally a couple of times and enjoyed the restaurants. The nightclub made this place unacceptable.
Nice stay at this pub. Beds were clean and comfortable. Right in the town so easy access to everything. Slightly noisy at pub closing time. Pub doesn’t do food but recommend the Butterbean down the street. Overall nice one night stay for 2 adults and 2 kids
Keine Haken im Zimmer und Bad.
Sauberkeit war ok, Brösel und Haare der vorherigen Gäste im Stuhl waren etwas eklig.
Der Pool- und Saunabereich in Ballyliffin war eher ein Mini-Schwimmbad mit Sauna- und Dampfkabine, kein Wellness-Highlight.
Definitely the place to stay if you're looking to do a pub crawl or night out, as it's above a pub. I have no complaints and would definitely stay there again.
The inn is located in the town of Carndonagh, the floor above a pub. Note that there is no elevator. Our room was small but with a good size bathroom. Newly renovated and very clean. Bed was quite comfortable. Parking is ample and free.
There is no food at the pub but recommend Butterbean or the Diamond Cafe for breakfast.
The pictures on Expedia show Joyce’s Inn and pub as well as the coastline (which you need to drive to) and the Ballyliffin lodge - a more upscale hotel. Guests can use the amenities at the lodge. We had dinner there one night and the restaurant was excellent, and right on the coast. It is 15 minutes away.
Joyce’s is great value for the money and I would choose it again for a comfortable, safe, clean, well-priced stay. Note that being above the pub means music until 1 am on weekends.
Recommendation to Joyce’s - hooks and towel bars in the bathroom would be a small but impactful improvement.
Overall a great stay in beautiful Donegal.
It was a lovely room and nice and quiet as no music on in pub below. Really good for the price we paid. Twin room had two super king beds. Only downside was water wasn’t warm enough for a shower in the morning. Apart from that it was all good.
Very clean room, modern, comfy beds and lovely fluffy towels. Only downside is the noise outside which really has nothing to do with the rooms, but apart from that it was lovely. Added bonus to be able to use the ballyliffin leisure facilities. Great wee find
We had a wonderful stay! The rooms were clean, comfortable, and the location was perfect. Check-in was easy and communication was smooth. We would happily stay here again.
