Outstanding stay! Property is comfortable and quiet. Room was large and well appointed for three golfers. The owner, David, was incredibly helpful and attentive. He arranged travel to and from downtown and golf during our three day stay — he actually drove us himself early one morning. We had also arranged for a car service to drive us from Ballybunion to Lahinch, but they showed up in a small vehicle and we had three set of golf clubs luggage. David solved our problem by quickly arranging a van, which met us on property within 20 mins. Life saver!! Can’t recommend the Tides more highly!

Everything was very easy and service was above and beyond. From the check-in process, to the beds, to the water pressure, and everything else was intentionally done well. I was very impressed and will return when I come back to Ballybunion.

Lovely property with great views and small amenities-towel warmer and iPhone plugins for example. Struggled to find it (my fault). An exterior sign would help. Pillow big but not comfy
