A magical place in the Burren that stole our hearts. A real taste of Ireland in a beautiful setting. Very different from the norm. Romantic, Magical and very memorable. The hosts were superb.

Perfectly comfortable and Kathleen recommended a fabulous fish restaurant down by the water which was very good.
Off street parking was a bonus.

Hazelwood Lodge is a very well kept and comfortable place. Darren is a great bloke and a fantastic cook and the breakfast featured a lot of his home made dishes. In fact the breakfast was simply superb. Our room was large, well furnished with a very wide bed, it also had tea making facilities and a coffee machine and fresh milk.
We ate at Monks in Ballyvaughan in the evening which was fantastic. We had a great stay at Hazelwood Lodge, and would definitely return.

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 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!
Very friendly reception. The landlady is cordial and willing to provide information. The rooms were spacious, clean and in a quiet location on the Cliffs of Moher.
The house is almost in the center of the village. Sea, restaurants and harbor are within very short walking distance. A grocery store for shopping is only 50 meters away.
Breakfast was extensive and very good.
We would try again to book this accommodation on a renewed trip to this place.
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)
Wow! Wow! Wow! The Monks Ballyvaughan far exceeded my expectations! Just a gorgeous property just across from the pier. Our room was do comfortable with every amenity you could think of. Very clean and updated bathroom. We had dinner in the attached restaurant and the included breakfast was lovely. The staff were exceptional. Highly recommend!
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.
Super unique stay. The hotel was right above a mountain spring so you could get fresh spring water directly from the source. Family room was spacious and breakfast was a fantastic spread. The self-service bar and cozy library were added bonuses! And it's nestled right in the burren, making for stunning drives every time we left the hotel!
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!
Great staff. Nice room. Elevator available which is rare for a 3 story hotel and certainly a big plus for the elderly or less-mobile. Bar and restaurant on-site with very nice food. Limited vegetarian selection but the veg special was excellent the evening we visited.
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
The lodge was beautiful, clean, well decorated and so welcoming. The hosts were fantastic, very friendly and helpful. The breakfasts were fabulous, we ate very well and the food was so fresh. We loved our stay there.
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.
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.
Located in the center of Ballyvaughan. Breakfast was excellent with a choice of different dishes and a buffet. The Hotel also has a bar serving bar food.
