    The Waters is in a beautiful, quiet location with lovely views. The decor inside was stunning and the spring beneath the hotel was a lovely feature. We received a very warm welcome from the hosts Maria and Wolfgang, who were ever so friendly and helpful, and the breakfast was amazing. I would highly recommend this place to anyone, and I definitely will be coming back for another visit.

    This was the most lovely place with the most genuine welcome I have ever received in an inn. It is a quirky place with rooms that look Italianate and very comfortable with lots of space— sofas couches tables and a big deep tub in the bathroom. The part of the house which was used for breakfast was just gorgeous there were fireplaces in two rooms with comfortable sitting areas. The breakfast was exceptionally good and very plentiful. The hosts were wonderful. Very worth a detour. The outdoor view over the fields was spectacular.

    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.

    The breakfast was delicious and efficiently served in a lovely candlelit table in a very cozy room. Our room was very nice with bright light. Loved the coffee tea service right outside our door! We used it every day before moving out for breakfast. The area around The Waters is stunningly beautiful. I befriended a healthy young horse who galloped over to me from behind the fence. We are eager to return.
