I recently had the pleasure of staying at this amazing hotel, and let me tell you, it was an absolute 5-star experience! 🌟 The location was perfect, offering stunning views of Galway Bay and the local pier. The room itself was simply breathtaking, finished to an incredibly high standard. I loved the attention to detail, especially the beautiful Voya products in the bathroom. It even had a smart TV in the room, which was a great bonus. Shauna at the front desk was an absolute delight, making us feel incredibly welcome throughout our stay. The breakfast was a true highlight, with the most amazing pancakes you can imagine, all enjoyed with a view of the bay. The menu was well-priced and offered a great variety of options. The hotel had such a tranquil and relaxing atmosphere, making it the perfect place to unwind. Plus, they had parking available, and even electric chargers, which was super convenient. The flexible check-in process was a nice touch as well. I highly recommend this place, and I can say with certainty that I will be returning in the future. It's an absolute gem! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

It was fantastic experience very quite absolutely relaxing!
If you love the burren there is no better place to stay! There is a walk path just behind the house going straight to the hill where you walk around and see a breathtaking view of the landscape!
Even a little cat come to say hello to me in the evening and I felt at home!

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!
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.
Very comfortable and spacious accommodation within 10 minutes walk of Ballyvaughan. Breakfast was very good with an extensive selection of fruit, cold meats and cheeses to compliment the hot food selection. The room was spacious, comfortable and very clean. An excellent location to explore West Clare and the Burren. Hosts are friendly and helpful. I would recommend staying here.
Great house in a great location. The house was spacious, comfortable and very well equipped. It was like (an improved version) of home from home. It was also a perfect launch point to visit all the attractions that Clare has to offer. Being within very short walking distance of shops and restaurants made evenings easy. Highly recommended!
Breakfast was fabulous, room was comfortable but it's location in the middle of the Burren was unparalleled. Beautiful setting and warm hospitality, rustic location makes you feel that you are experiencing Ireland as it was meant to be experienced. We are planning our return to Waters House as soon as we can make plans.
The rooms and beds were comfortable. The location was in the center of town, and the staff gave us good recommendations for dinner. The second night, we ate dinner at the hotel and were pleasantly surprised at the quality of the food. Live music was provided at the bar that was part of the hotel.
Staff were exceptional and very accommodating. Breakfast was incredible, great options and tasting perfect. Rooms were spotless and very comfortable. Location is ideal, within walking distance of the pubs and restaurants and the beautiful Ballyvaughan views. Perfect base for a Burren Clare trip!
Pauline and Gerry welcomed us as old friends in their home, the hospitality was really beyond expectations. The house was super clean and I think I have never tried such good breakfasts. If you want to taste west Ireland staying in a super lovely place, this is the choice
Cappabhaile House is an exceptionally nice place to stay in Ballyvaughan. The breakfasts were exceptionally good, the rooms were extremely quiet, and the proprietor, Connor, is an excellent source of information about things to see and music to hear in the area.
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!
We had a gorgeous stay at the Creggs in the perfect little town of Ballyvaughan. From our welcome to the freshly cooked breakfast to the comfortable room, everything was lovely & full of care. Karen makes hosting looks effortless.
Fanciest B&B out of 3 trips to Ireland. More formal with paid staff rather than just the owner doing all the work.The breakfast room is more like a restaurant with a huge buffet of fresh fruits and homemade fruit compotes.
The staff in Wild Atlantic Lodge were all extremely welcoming and helpful.
I thoroughly enjoyed breakfast on both mornings - fast, efficient and friendly service and delicious food with a great selection.
Thank you.
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
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.
Had a great stay. Staff and hotel were lovely. It’s a quaint little village. So many local attractions within driving distance. Fabulous part of the country.
