We booked Dirkin's due to favourable reviews and we weren't disappointed. We found very attentive staff, a nice friendly atmosphere and nothing was too much trouble. Rooms were clean, warm and comfortable and the shower was hot and powerful. More

Down the country for a bereavement, four of us went to Durkins for lunch. Our companions had stayed there the night before, had the breakfast, and were pleased with their room. The staff were very friendly and the lunch came quickly after our order was placed even though the Bar/Rest was doing a brisk trade in meals. One nice option... More

We stayed here in April due to a family bereavement. If i am being completely honest it wouldn't have been my first choice! However, it was really our only option at such short notice. From the outside it does look like it needs a good lick of paint and the same can be said for the inside too! However, the... More

We had a weekend stay and found the staff to be very welcoming and courteous throughout our stay. The food was superb and the accommodation was of a good standard. The location was also great - right in the middle of town. I would strongly recommend Durkin's if you need to stay in Ballaghadereen. More

We spoke to Andrew Durkin (the owner) about our requirement (6 nights accommodation) some months before our trip, he was very helpful in telling us of the current offers. The room we received was enormous, modern, clean and well equipped, all the staff were helpful and friendly. Being in the town centre, the view from our room was not important... More

We stayed at Durkin's during the town's traditional music festival held during the first week of July. Andrew was our point of contact during the planning of our trip, and he was efficient both on the phone and in e-mails with handling are room reservation and explaining options for getting to Durkin's (e.g., how to rent a car and bus...

I was visiting some friends in the area for the weekend and stayed in Durkin's. All the staff were really friendly and helpful. We also ate down in the restaurant and found everything good. It's only about 20minutes from Knock airport so very handy to get to and from.I would recommend the place to friends as a good base to... More

I recently stayed at Durkins for a week during my sons Wedding in Ballagh. We travelled from Chicago witha group of about 38 and the service provided to our group was remarkable. The rooms were very clean and comfortable and even had free wi-fi. The best part of the stay though was the impressive service we received from all the... More
