The Waters Country House, hotel in Ballyvaughan

Situated in Newtown, 5 minutes’ drive from Ballyvaughan and Galway Bay, The Waters Country House boasts over 40 acres of farmland at the foot of the Burren Hills.

I liked the location and the idea, a place next to the water. At first sight it looked unique and exciting. I was happy that our room was a small cabin.

Monks Ballyvaughan, hotel in Ballyvaughan

Monks Ballyvaughan, a property with a bar and a shared lounge, is located in Ballyvaughan, 28 km from Cliffs of Moher, 48 km from Galway Greyhound Stadium, as well as 49 km from Eyre Square.

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! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

    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.

    Wolfgang and Maria have created an oasis on the Burren. They meticulously and was great effort created an amazing hotel. The accommodations were more than comfortable as well as the library, dining room and games room/bar. Breakfast was delicious and plentiful. Amazing friendly staff. Hope to be back someday. Built on three natural springs with the cleanest tasting water I have tasted.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    I like the fact that parking was available on the back of property. It may be different during peak season. Since I recently twisted my ankle and not so mobile, I was grateful the lodge had a lift. Room 10 is right next to the lift and comfortable. Plus the lodge had a bar and restaurant.
