There was nothing we didn't absolutly loved ! Everything was perfect : from the lovely location (the view on both the shore and the moutains is gorgeous plus the cottage itself is beautiful and well decorated), the beds were super comfy, the snacks left and even the little gift for pour special occasion were soo thoughtful ! We enjoyed everyminute of our stay and we'll definitly think of this place if we ever come back to the area ! We totally recommend Paul's place to anyone ; in addition, he took time to answer our questions, to explain where the shops were, what road to take if we wanted to go sightseeing, which restaurant etc... It's a 10/10 for us ! The kids loved it there as well ❤️ they already miss the playground in Ballyvaughan that they enjoyed so much !

Very special place surrounded by hills and 5 minutes from the beach in Fanore. It was cozy, clean and had everything that we needed. Very quiet, perfect for a getaway in the Burren. The fire was on for our arrival, such a nice gesture. This was my second stay there, and I hope to be back. Thanks so much!

    The Waters felt like a home away from home. It is the most romantic and Cosy spot we‘ve ever been to. One could really calm down and detox and meet the other tourists or the owner for a chat. The breakfast was great and one could really enjoy being in the moment.

    We stayed for two nights at Ballyvaughan Lodge and it was a wonderful experience. There was a huge range of delicious fresh food for breakfast. The bed was very comfortable and everything clean and cosy in the room. The friendly welcome from the hosts was something special. All round a great place to stay and we’ll be back!

    I cannot put into words how beautiful the Waters country house is. The entire property is absolutely gorgeous, with old - but beautiful - furniture and decoration, a cozy fireplace, a natural spring (with drinkable water) and the most amazing breakfast ever. Wolfgang and his wife were fantastic hosts and I felt very comfortable throughout the entirety of my stay. The location near The Burren and the nearest town also add to this amazing property. I will definitely be back for a longer stay, and I can only recommend this beautiful B&B.

    One of the most charming places I have ever been. So cozy, and beautiful decor. The rooms were comfy and welcoming, and the shared spaces were unique and plentiful. Everyone was extremely friendly and accommodating, and fed us a wonderful Irish breakfast. The nearby waterfront town is also beautiful to walk around and stop in for a meal. I’d highly recommend the 8km trail that cuts through the city and circles around the countryside.
