Fabulous, well appointed cottage very close to the burren and wild Atlantic way. Hosts did an amazing job.
Would advise to make a note of key code before heading to remote County Clare where signal is intermittent.

We hiked in the Burren National Park (which is free), and that was lovely. It's very rocky, so I'd recommend bringing hiking boots or really durable shoes if you're planning on going on some of the more difficult trails. We ate at Leanne's Lobster Bar and Monk's Seafood - both were great, though their menus do overlap quite a bit (but we enjoyed something different both nights).

Very little choice of places to eat or have a coffee. Tea rooms not open at 11am on Thursday as suggested. Had a fab dinner at Monks and on a return visit next morning at 1130am had great tea n scones in front of blazing stove. Superb.

The hosts were very friendly right from greeting us upon arrival and giving us tips to serving us breakfast before we left. The full Irish breakfast was very good. We had dinner before arriving in Ballyvaughan, and only stayed for one night. We had a car, so it was easy for us to drive into the town centre from there. We would stay there again. We were given tips of sites to see when we left, and one we were glad not to miss was the Poulnabrone Portal tomb.

We only were able to stay one night. It was a great launch pad for visiting the Burren and the Cliffs of Moher. The people were friendly, the food was great and the pub was fun with local, live music!
We recommend it!

The Clare Way is a nice way for walkers.
The Clare Way is a nice way for walkers. There are at least two good places to eat out.
Some side roads are in a poor state of repair. Clare County Council need to fill the pot holes and try and keep the roads in decent repair. This includes some access routes to this property.

A beautiful traditional Irish village with all you need for...
A beautiful traditional Irish village with all you need for a comfortable varied stay in Ireland. Situated between the stunning Burren and the cliffs off the Atlantic Ocean, and nestled on the south side of Galway Bay, Ballyvaughan is ideally located. There are a lot of places to visit in the area. You can swim in the bay or on the nearby Bishop's Quarter beach. In Summer or Winter there are lovely places to visit and in Ballyvaughan alone, the fabulous Monk's seafood restaurant is a great spot with super friendly staff, a warm welcome and really fabulous food. I cannot wait to go back to Ballyvaughan!
This hotel is on top of my list for our Ireland trip. While not convenient for a Galway visit, it's absolutely perfect to get away from it all. It's extremely charming, with views to die for and hosts that go out of their way to make you feel comfortable. The two "relaxation rooms" were always ready with a warm fire and it made for a perfect ending of a day spent sightseeing. I can't praise the hosts enough for their attentiveness and overall hospitality. The breakfast was excellent every morning. A true gem!
Everything. the location was perfect right across from the pier. the restaurant was really great and the room was amazing. beds very comfy. we didn’t get to explore the town but it looked great. Some nice shops, bars, and restaurants. Right in the Burren so great for walks and hiking although we did not have time for that. Next time we are in Ireland we will be back here and stay at the Monks.
Spotlessly clean with beautifully decorated rooms and modern bathroom facilities. the staff were very friendly and helpful and the hotel is in a great location, only 20 or so minutes drive from the cliffs of moher and other tourist attractions and within walking distance to a couple of restaurants in the village (I would advise booking these ahead of time in peak season)
This place is a gem. Karen was so friendly and helpful in every way. Our room was spacious, spotless, and the bed was quite comfortable. The "Irish breakfast" was the best we had throughout our visit to Ireland. Our stay at the Creggs helped make Ballyvaughan the highlight of our holiday. We recommend this place highly and hope to return.
This was our second stay at The Waters Country House. It is an amazing place, with rustic rooms, an atmospheric vibe and friendly proprietors. The location couldn't be better, close to the village of Ballyvaughan, the Burren, the Wild Atlantic Way and the Cliffs of Moher. We would return without hesitation on our next visit to the area.
Great location, 30 minutes from Cliffs of Moher and only 5 minutes to the bay and to Ballyvaughan for food/drinks. Connor was very helpful and great source for local recommendations/tips and history. Room was comfortable, spacious and very clean. Breakfast was fantastic. Highly recommended!
Perfect stay with excellent value! The most welcoming host, Karen accommodated our late check in and gave us good information for our road trip. Breakfast was fantastic! It was our favorite accomodation on a 5 day trip in Ireland. Would definitely go back!
The hotel was beautiful with polite owners and an amazing breakfast. The room was spacious with everything you need and the bed was huge. The hotel has its own parking space which was very convince. Every thing was great!
Oh my goodness...the very best B & B we have ever stayed in, its really 5*.... Everything about Ballyvaughan Lodge was wonderful & Gerry & Pauline are super hosts will definitely stay again & spread the word. Gerry & Mary
Hotel was gorgeous. The room was very spacious, as was the bathroom, and was beautifully decorated. Bed was very comfortable. Staff were very friendly and helpful. We would definitely go back again. Food was great.
Very spacious and comfortable cottage. Great location to explore County Clare from (and tip up to Galway on a rainy day 🙂). Nice bars and restaurants in Ballyvaughen, would recommend dropping into O'Loclainn's
Great place equidistant between Lisdoonvarna and Ballyvaughan which were both 8 km away - Well equipped apartment in rural setting in beautiful location. Eggs and wine on table on arrival - nice touch
Excellent location. Very helpful and friendly staff when we arrived. We had booked on short notice but our room was ready early. Hotel has a great cozy bar with a fire and excellent pints of stout.
Central location for touring Clare/ quiet/ very comfortable beds/ good shower/ good food/ friendly staff/ comfortable outside space to have a drink. / friendly bar staff and restaurant staff.
Had a lovely stay, the hotel was top notch and I really enjoyed myself. However my stay was marred by developing a very bad back, so hotel staff helped me contact my insurance company.
The Burren View B&B was the cutest little B&B I have ever seen! The host was incredibly generous and friendly. It's really close to Ballyvaughan, a super cute tiny city!
We really enjoyed our stay here - our hosts were so kind and friendly and made us feel very welcome. Excellent location close to Ballyvaughan. Highly recommend.
everything was great. the hosts made us feel at home. breakfast was outstanding. very fun , relaxing place to stay. our best night of the week in Ireland.
