Loved our stay.

We loved our stay at Madra Rua. Everything about it is excellent...the room, the organic bedding and toiletries, the breakfast and of course the friendly hosts. Their attention to detail is very special. This made our time in this lovely B&B very comfortable. Thankyou Clara and Germain. We hope to return soon for more pampering.

We had a wonderful one night stay at Madra Rua in Ballyliffin room. The room was a good size with lovely sheets and towels. The owners are a lovely couple who also suggested we have dinner at Simpsons which was a good choice. Breakfast at Madra Rua was a hearty Spanish omelette and pancakes with fresh fruit served in a charming room. Highly recommended.

The room had an Ocean View. The breakfast was lovely. Cereal, Orange, Tea and a fry up. The room was clean and very quiet. There was no tvs in the rooms. There was adequate communal space downstairs with a TV where breakfast was also served. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The hosts were lovely and could not do enough for you. The b&b is about 2kms outside of the town. This was fine I just drove in.

I stayed for 1 night at Madra Rua and the place was excellent. The owners were fantastic and done anything they could to make you comfortable and welcome. The breakfast was lovely and fresh and there were plenty of choices. I would recommend staying here if you are in the area exploring the North coast of Ireland as i was. Its rural and safe which i needed as a lone traveller on a motorbike. The everlasting memory for me will be the hospitality of both Clara and Germãn which was second to none, oh, and not forgetting the home made muffins. Love from Scotland, Stevie

Couldn't have been better

The room with immaculate, the hosts were extremely helpful and friendly. Made us feel at home. Gave us some tips on where we should go. We would have missed some amazing places if we had not talked to Magdalena about it. Even though we got their late in the evening she offered us tea or coffee and sat down and talk to us about what we wanted to do and what we were going to see. Breakfast was also amazing. The only thing wrong is we didn't stay long enough.
