Just one night stay on golf trip from Texas. Absolutely fabulous! Cian and Dermot kept us entertained, rooms large and very comfortable. Evening meal out of this world. A must stay if in Ballybunion.

If you want a place that is friendly, attentive, and comfortable in every way, Teach de Broc is for you. Add to that a very good kitchen and you have a wonderful home base — especially if you’re playing Ballybunion Golf Club.
