Hazelwood Lodge is a sustainable bed and breakfast in Ballyvaughan where guests can make the most of its garden and shared lounge.

Hazelwood was the kind of b&b I wished for. Victor was a lovely host, so kind and helpful. All rooms are very nice and clean. The view is gorgeous! And the breakfast was delicious! Would stay there over and over again!

In County Clare’s Burren district, Ballyvaughan Cottages are just 6 minutes’ drive from Aillwee Cave, on the southern shore of Galway Bay. These 3-bedroom cottages offer free on-site parking.

Great location next to the water and an awesome restaurant (Monks) for our weekend near the Burren and Cliffs of Moher. We really apreciated that it was dog friendly and had nice spaces for the dogs out front and out back. Finding the place was a bit difficult as there are multiple cottages and we arrived late at night but once we found it we were home and very impressed with how spacious and well stocked it was.

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

Unforgettable experience! Surrounding area is very calm and beautiful (btw there is a very good fish restaurant in the nearby sea village). The house is more like a castle or a palace with rich, aristocratic interior full of history. Moreover, and it's a little bit of a spoiler, there is a water spring inside! The room we stayed in was also quite unique. This accomodation is very thoughtful, relaxing and inspiring.

Overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, Galway Bay and the Burren countryside, Drumcreehy Country House B&B is located less than 1.2 mi from Ballyvaughan.

Allowed the dogs in the room. There's a pic album of the dogs that visit in the lobby. Fantastic breakfast. Get the porridge with the fruit and the bacon with poached egg.

In beautiful North Clare, with views of the Burren Hills, Cappabhaile House offers spacious bedrooms and traditional Irish breakfasts. There is also free parking and free Wi-Fi.

We had a wonderful stay here because the hosts and the house are so welcoming. It does feel like coming home in the evening. The breakfasts are lovingly prepared with fresh tasty ingredients and are offered with generous portions.

    This was our first visit to Ireland and we couldn’t have expected a warmer welcome or wished for a nicer place to stay than with our hosts Pauline and Gerry at the Ballyvaughan Lodge. It felt as if we were staying with friends. These are warm people (with an excellent sense of humour by the way). Other reviewers mention the excellent breakfast, the clean and nicely decorated rooms, and the nice location. It’s all true. But it’s the hosts, who really go out of their way to help and care who made this a wonderful stay.

    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.

    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!

    We arrived after a very long travel day from the US and happily got to park behind the hotel. They upgraded our room to a seaview so we were THRILLED. The room was wonderful and the breakfast was the best on our trip (we stayed at two other hotels on our trip too). Multiple choices for breakfast and wonderful coffee too. Monks for dinner was great! We ate there both nights we stayed at the inn.

    We had a lovely stay with Gerry and Pauline at Ballyvaughan Lodge really enjoyed the Hospitality and Gerry's great ability to remember names of people he has just met for the first time. Very impressive choice of fruit and cereals for breakfast and the traditional fry up sets you up for the day. Within easy walking distance of nice pubs and restaurants Can highly Recommend

    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 liked that Helen's explanations made it easy for me to find the location of the hotel. A very nice landlady greeted me sincerely. Very clean and cozy room with a beautiful view from the window. Comfortable bed. Cozy, warm, comfortable. I am grateful. And I recommend the Barrymor Tween for backpackers and vacationers

    Amazing views of The Burren. Easy to and from the Cliffs of Moher. Very quiet yet close to the dining and pubs of Ballyvaughan. Feels like you are staying at a country estate with rooms full of cozy furniture and knickknacks. Generous breakfasts and spring water top it off.

    Great staff. Nice room. Elevator available which is rare for a 3 story hotel and certainly a big plus for the elderly or less-mobile. Bar and restaurant on-site with very nice food. Limited vegetarian selection but the veg special was excellent the evening we visited.

    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.
