The 19th Lodge is located across the street from the new golf course at Ballybunion within sight of the clubhouse and old course. Golfers staying at the 19th Lodge get 10% off greens fees. It's a beautiful, reasonably priced place with large guest rooms, great showers, jacuzzi bath tubs, and yummy breakfasts, not just the traditional full Irish breakfast. I especially appreciated the computer with internet access available to guests. Mary, the owner, drove me into town while my husband golfed. There isn't much shopping, but there is a huge, clean public beach with a wonderfully scenic cliff walk above it. I saw 5 dolphins playing below in the water, a true trip highlight.

During a week long golf trip to Ireland, staying at six different hotel/bed and breakfast accomodations, this was the best of the lot. The facilities were excellent - enormous en-suite rooms, PC in the lobby for i/net and emails, spotless, great breakfast. James the proprietor was extremely curteous and helpful. It had the spaciousness of a hotel but the homeliness of a B&B - and, right across the road from the Ballybunion clubhouse. No wonder Tom Watson stays here when he visits the course!!!
Fantastic value and I'd recommend to any visitor, be they tourist or golfer. Jim McCann, Glasgow

Proud, family owned B&B and it shows how much the owner care. If you are going to Ballybunion, rooming anywhere else is a 2nd place finish.

The 19th Lodge is by far one of the nicest places I've stayed. The rooms were spacious and elegant, the bathrooms modern and spacious as well. The jacuzzi bath was perfect after a day of golf in the cold. Mary and James were so hospitable that we hated to leave. They treated us like family. The breakfast was excellent. There was not one negative about the 19th Lodge. I hope to return.
