A magical place - lovely, quiet, charming, views in every direction. Wish we could have stayed longer. Wolfgang and Maria are wonderful hosts. Fresh spring water, breakfast was a variety of fresh and cooked to order items, the whole visit had an enchanting old world vibe. Could easily stay a week.

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! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

The host was welcoming, and the room was cosy and quiet. Less than 10 minutes drive from Ailwee cave and 35 minutes from the Cliffs.
We had 2 rooms, both had bathrooms and everything was nice and clean.

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...
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.
The location was perfect for our stay right in the centre of Ballyvaughan near to cafes and restaurants. The house was clean , bright and comfortable.
Only downside was our en-suite did not work during our stay. The owner was notified and said it would require to be checked by an electrician. In this instance we were lucky to be able to use the shower in the main bathroom as we were not sharing the house with anyone else.
Upon walking into the property, I was a little nervous based on the old European look of things (after staying at a newer property in the town before), but everything was clean and comfortable. The room was spacious with a spectacular view. The hosts were friendly and available--and flexible with check-in time. Best of all was the breakfast, one of the 2 best places we stayed in the 2 weeks we were in Ireland!
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.
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.
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!
Big huge room and a very comfy bed awaits at the Hylands. The staff are very professional and absolutely lovely! The breakfast was wonderful and the dinner on offer was even better. Nice wine by the glass was a plus. The view of the Burren in the morning out my window was lovely to wake up to.
Peaceful, beautiful, relaxing, and healing. Our stay was way too short. Wolfgang and Maria are the most wonderful, helpful, intriguing and engaging couple I've had the pleasure of meeting in Ireland. When I next visit Ireland, I look forward to staying with them longer. The views are amazing.
Hosts were very welcoming. Beautifully clean, appointed self catering Studio with fresh supplies of bread,milk, tea, coffee and cake. Perfect location for visiting Aillwee Caves and a good stop along The Wild Atlantic Way.
Lovely rural setting with a short drive to local town.
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
The location was terrific- walking distance to a couple of restaurants in the village, plus close to the bus stop if you are not driving. Breakfast was lovely with French press coffee, delicious cheeses and pastries, plus choice of eggs and bacon or an Irish breakfast.
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.
Burren Court holiday homes are just up the hill from the beautiful Ballyvaughan , they are ideal for family holiday get together or small breaks away . comfy beds great walks nearby staff are very helpful can’t recommend enough .
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
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!
