Burren Rock Farmhouse B&B, hotel in Ballyvaughan

Burren Rock Farmhouse B&B offers accommodations in Turlough, 26 miles from Cliffs of Moher and 26 miles from Galway Greyhound Stadium.

We were greeted by the cheerful host family who led us to our comfortable, clean rooms each containing it's own bathrooms. After a fabulous full breakfast of our choice, we were given a tour of the farm. Our 18 year old boy said, "Holding and bottle feeding the new born lamb was the highlight on my trip". The host, and her husband clearly seem to love sharing the joys of life on the farm with guests. This clean and modern farmhouse is in a secluded area, but only 10-15 minutes drive to great restaurants and go to historic attractions.

    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!

    This hotel is on top of my list for our Ireland trip. While not convenient for a Galway visit, it's absolutely perfect to get away from it all. It's extremely charming, with views to die for and hosts that go out of their way to make you feel comfortable. The two "relaxation rooms" were always ready with a warm fire and it made for a perfect ending of a day spent sightseeing. I can't praise the hosts enough for their attentiveness and overall hospitality. The breakfast was excellent every morning. A true gem!

    great breakfast choices, really tasty and cooked to perfection. The hosts were very friendly and attentive, the rooms kept very clean, bottled water replaced daily, fresh flower in a vase a nice touch. Parking easy ,either in the grounds or on the road beside. The lodge is on a quiet road, very peaceful but within walking distance of the restaurants and shops. Ballyvaughan is a picturesque village on the edge of the Burren well worth visiting.

    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.

    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.

    Superb location - within 2 minutes walk of a shop, restaurants, the pier. The view was incredible - the house looks right over the water. Would highly recommend for an intergenerational family holiday, both for the generous-sized house (with ground floor rooms), the location in Ballyvaughan, and the range of activities within an easy driving distance

    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.

    Had a lovely stay, the hotel was top notch and I really enjoyed myself. However my stay was marred by developing a very bad back, so hotel staff helped me contact my insurance company.
