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! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Neat accommodation set up, ideal for short stays like our visit, but I'd definitely come back and use it as a longer term base from which to explore the Burren area. Good quality and value in a good location.

This is a beautiful B&B. Great location for exploring the Burren - hiking, the coast, Doolin, cliffs of Moher and Galway are all nearby. Stunning farmland surroundings. Large room, very clean, comfy bed, en-suite, good wifi. Delicious Irish breakfast. Car essential. Would highly recommend.

Close to Eyre Square, I changed my room to a sea view
Very little choice of places to eat or have a coffee.
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!

there was a Match-making Festival happening in September in nearby villages of west of ireland, named biggest party for singles in the world. this was the best accommodation in terms of crowd-avoidance and distance from local attractions. we could have stayed little longer...
Cappabhaile was in a beautiful location near to town with some nice restaurant choices. We were giving a very friendly welcome and treated to the BEST breakfast in two weeks in Ireland! We had to skip lunch! The room had a lovely view of the hills to enjoy a cup of tea. The beds were comfy and the room had a lot of space to relax. Overall it was a wonderful stay!
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 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.
Ballyvaughan Lodge is an exceptional bnb. The attention to detail was phenomenal, and our stay felt very special. Gerry and Pauline are wonderful hosts and had fantastic recommendations for the local area. The room was fabulous and the breakfast is delicious, really sets you up for the day!
incredibly well set up for family stay, great garden with lovely light sun room on the back of the cottage. Local amenities all in walking distance. Perfect location for visiting all the best sites on the Wild Atlantic route. Highly recommend.
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!
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.
Lovely comfortable and cosy hotel - great location for west Clare and the staff were excellent. We ate there also and the food was lovely for a big group & very good value for money overall.
Would highly recommend!
Bridget was really nice. She tried to help us with whatever information she could share about Restaurants, parking etc. She asked for breakfast choices well in advance. Premises and rooms are kept clean.
The scrambled egg and salmon was excellent for breakfast .
Ballyvaughan lodge is located very close to some great pubs and restaurants, Fanore beach is a short drive away.
This place was mood and vibes! Wolfgang was a wonderful host. This was our favorite stay in Ireland. We hunkered down in the Granny Flat during a storm. It was the best.
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.
