Google maps suggested that we had arrived earlier on the road (very quiet and unlit) before we had actually reached the property which led to some worry before we travelled further down the road and found the property. A bit of extra signage at that point, or an indication of the distance of the house down the road after the final turn would be helpful.

Gorgeous property, beautiful if remote surroundings but warm welcome and cosy, generous facilities which were perfect at the end of a long day.

Beautiful, unique stay. Lovely staff. Great access to the Burren. Limestone pavements, 5 minute walk up a steep hill. Aillwee caves only 5 minute drive away.

That we arrived so late that we couldn't enjoy spending more time in the drawing room by the fire, or having a drink at the bar.

Staying at The Waters Country House is like staying at a friend's fancy retreat. You can relax in the common rooms and interact with other travelers-a unique experience. My husband and teen daughter played chess in the library while I read in the drawing room. Can you imagine a teen playing chess on vacation in a library beside a fire instead of looking at their phone? I couldn't! The breakfast was wonderful and the service exceptional. It was a treat to meet and stay with Wolfgang and Maria. The memories made here will last a lifetime!

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.

Just wonderful in every way... The location, room, breakfast, lounge areas, Maria and Wolfgang. Kids adored hanging out by the fire and collecting spring water to drink. Very close to aillwee caves, easy drive to wild Atlantic way, Cliffs of Moher, Doolin, chocolate factory. Would highly recommend.

Not a thing

Beautiful property! Built around an old holy well, thus the name “the Waters”. Lovely library with fireplace, lively conversations with visitors from South Africa, Spain, USA. Perfect breakfast buffet with full Irish breakfast available too. Quiet, dark rooms. Able to sleep well

Maria and Wolfgang were wonderful hosts, very welcoming and friendly! I loved the well inside the house with fresh spring water. There was a cozy lounge to relax in with a fireplace with books. The room was comfortable and clean, quiet. The cooked Irish breakfast was amazing!! Loved my stay. The area around the accommodation was very peaceful. I liked everything - no tea or coffee facilities in the room but it was upstairs so no problem.

Beautiful and eclectic property, we stayed in one of the outside rooms, it was really cosy and there was a kettle and fridge in the foyer area. Breakfast was incredible and the rooms were gorgeous. Hosts are fantastic. Can have a drink in the evening, hosts provide an honesty box and there are roaring fires. It is a little off the beaten track but surroundings are awe inspiring.

The WiFi was not in our room and as we had no car it was a bit far from town.

Great staff, great breakfasts and the house was great.

I didn’t like the squeaky floors in our bedroom and I could easily hear other quests open and close their door.

The house was lovely, owners and the staff were very accommodating. We liked the country setting unfortunately it was too cool to sit outside.

Such a unique location, very quirky. Loved the style of the house and is in a beautiful area of Clare.

We had the Granny Flat which was a cozy self-contained mini-cottage apart from the main house. We loved it!

The owners were so friendly and kind. The place is quaint and cosy. I wish I had more time there.

We loved everything!!

Our hosts, Wolfgang and Maria were delightful and so helpful. We felt at home in our cosy Burren suite and also in the common areas. Breakfasts were amazing. Our 9 night stay would have to be the best ever for me.

This was a beautiful, cozy, luxurious accommodation. Perfect sitting rooms to relax and enjoy the peat burning fireplace(s).

The only thing I can think to complain about was the lack of sheets on the bed and the fact that the bed was not already made. Everything was folding and ready on the beds but there were only blankets and no sheets.

The Waters exceeded our expectations. A mix between a hotel and a bed and breakfast we enjoyed walking around and using the common areas. The fires were lit and warm and the atmosphere was pleasant. My husband and I played cards and drank a glass of wine before heading back to our room for the night. The room was a small apartment away from the main building and was quiet and warm and we slept soundly. The space was a little tight for two people and luggage but doable especially with having the common spaces available in the hotel too hang out at. Would definitely return.

The Waters felt like a home away from home. It is the most romantic and Cosy spot we‘ve ever been to. One could really calm down and detox and meet the other tourists or the owner for a chat. The breakfast was great and one could really enjoy being in the moment.

having to leave was difficult....we want to return

Everything about this small hotel was excellent. The owners were wonderful and made us feel right at home. We were a group of seven and had four rooms. The rooms were small but beautifully decorated and comfortable. The breakfast was outstanding. We all marveled at how unique and beautifully constructed the place was. Wolfgang made us feel like family. We wished we would have had more nights there. We would definitely recommend it to others. This place was a favorite of ours.
