Very walkable to the city shopping strip and waterfront 5 minutes away. Breakfast was great from what I ate. Drank wayyyyyyy too much the night before with a local dude named Mouse and his posse.

There's plenty of room to park your car and it's just a short walk to the bars and restaurants along the river.

We selected The Red River Lodge based on the Four Star rating by AA, as well as the friendly response to our inquiries by the proprietor Dolores. We were not in any way disappointed. The house is lovely, and the grounds beautiful and well kept. The first thing to strike us was the quiet and the smell of the fresh country air. I wish we could have bottled both! Breakfasts are traditional Irish with some modern additions, and everything was delicious. The host is attentive and extremely accommodating. Rooms are spacious, well lit, astonishingly clean, and very comfortable. You won't want to leave! The views of the Moy River will set up some wonderful photo opportunities. It's about a mile out of town (2KM) so you might need a car if you want to experience Ballina, but there are taxi services available in town. If you are movement impaired, be aware that this is a home and may not be wheelchair friendly, but there are ground level rooms available. Prices are very reasonable. It's not open year round, but when it is, you could not do better than to stay here!

We turned up on her doorstep one evening after seeing the lone five star review for Red River Lodge on Yelp. And we were so glad we did. The house is beautiful. Bright and welcoming, but still has a family house feel. At the front there is a really nice lawn and garden. You can also see the Moy River from the location. Dolores showed us around the house that was open to guests to use. There was very comfortable front room that looked extremely inviting. The breakfast room was fabulous and bright. I could call it a conservatory, but it was more than just that. The front hall, a room in itself, had water and tea station that you could help yourself too. The bedroom was comfy and warm. The bed was dressed fabulously in a plush throw and pillows. You could also see the river from here too, as it was at the front of the house. For breakfast, well that was top notch. There was a choice of Full Irish, scrambled egg or pancakes which you picked the night before. I went for the pancakes. Delicious. Coffee was excellent also. I said at the start that Dolores was a treasure. She is. She had so much to recommend to us in the area, which included a map of the town. She told us where to go for dinner and it turned out to be the best meal of our whole trip (see my Brennan's Lane review). We had a really nice conversation after breakfast before we departed. A lovely lady. It was 65 EUR for the two of us for one night and it was worth every cent.

We had the best sleep of our 3 week trip in Ireland. The next morning we woke to the smell of coffee and breakfast being made. We sat for an hour and had a huge Irish breakfast with delicious coffee and just chatted with Shona who runs Ardkeen as if we were staying in her home. We wished we could have changed our travel plans and stayed one week. Ardkeen is located a short walk from a small village outside Westport called The Quays which has pubs, restaurants and cafes and overlooks both Clew Bay and the mountain Croagh Patrick. What a backdrop to our early morning walks!

It is within walking distance of the cliffs - but it is easier to just drive up past the gate to the top - and that's what I'd recommend. The room was clean and comfortable. The bleating sheep were on the pastures and hillsides right outside the windows. The mountain hills valley views were right outside the windows. I can't repeat this enough. A room with a View! This is why I loved this property -- the VIEWS. It was quiet. It was nice. Breakfast was delicious and the same waitress who served us the previous evening at the local pub served us in the morning. Right out of a movie. Nothing but positive things to say about this place. The innkeeper welcomed my wife and me and our two teenage boys. We had a two room family suite with two different amazing views. Highly recommended. Oh, and he recommended the local pub for dinner which was fantastic. We would definitely return -- for a week, next time... Cheers!
