Best Stay ever, Highly Recommended, will be back again
Reviewed By sberniedalyThis was our second time staying here (July 2021) and this month and will be back again. Fantastic accommodation, location, hospitality and dog friendly country house. Bernadette and Armin are wonderful hosts and cannot do enough for you. Breakfast is out of this world. Fruit salad is to die for, best I have ever eaten. So much choice of meats, breads, cheese, a fantastic spread and lots of choice suitable to all tastes on the menu. Our dog enjoyed her stay too :-) 5 mins walk from the beach Bishops Quarter, lovely walks and short distance by car to Ballyvaughan village, Monks Seafood restaurant is amazing. Cannot recommend highly enough, next time will stay longer than 2 nights. Thank you Bernadette and Armin and staff.

Wonderful place to stay to explore the Burren and Aran Islands
Reviewed By stephanegroudHazelwood Lodge is perfectly located to explore the surrounding area (Burren National Park, Aran Islands -> Doolin is 30mn away by car, Aillwee Caves literally around the corner) but it is not just the location that makes this B&B a great place to stay. Victor and Geraldine are such friendly hosts and have tastefully decorated and maintained their lodge, with clean, spacious rooms and very comfortable beds. The surroundings are green and quiet, and the breakfast is delicious with a large choice of options for all tastes. To top this off, the lodge is 3mn away by car or 15mn walk away from the centre of Ballyaughan and a number of great restaurants. Monks was our go to place and we were treated to a wonderful sunset. Would definitely recommend Hazelwood Lodge and stay there again!

Quality Lodging a Short Walk from Everything
Reviewed By ScottS_MNThis is a friendly lovely family run place. My room was extra comfortable & the owners were quick to help and answer any questions. It really is a comfortable place and despite being on a road into the village it was quiet and i would know. It was an easy walk to the local pubs and restaurants. Lots of on site parking. I highly recommend.

Different in a Good Way
Reviewed By Kathy BThe pictures of The Waters Country House can't quite capture just how different and quirky (in a good way) The Waters is. It was great to have rooms, other than one's bedroom, to relax in. The fact that fires were lit and an honour bar added to the atmosphere. However, what I really appreciated was Wolfgang and Maria's willingness to change the booking mistake I'd made. Lovely place, lovely hosts

It just is
Reviewed By Anonymister_SurreyTitle to the review may seem strange but it is the answer I would give about "Why is it the best place to stay in Ballyvaughan". Stayed with teen son and it was excellent. I initially thought Alex / Karla were family members such was the chattering and banter between them and Conor but they were recently joined staff members. It gives you a good idea of what it was like. Place was clean from driving in, always a good sign and got a warm welcome, it stayed like that until we left. I feel I would be just repeating what a lot of other people would be saying because it really is a great place to stay.

The Burren Atlantic Hotel - A Guide
Reviewed By Anthony M"The Burren Atlantic Hotel - A Guide" We arrived to an empty reception with a phone number to call. A man answered the phone. He seemed surprised to be honest, as though he expected us to let ourselves in. He arrived about 15 mins later and duly checked us in. He gave us instructions about the heating that I have yet to decipher but he informed me I'd figure it out. The house was a little smelly but I'd get over that. There were one or two dead flies on the bed but again it could be forgiven. However, the bed sheets were dirty and this was a little disappointing. They were stained and had one or two questionable curly hairs on them too. The fireplace didn't seem to work which again really dampened the experience. The shower also had serious issues as it seamlessly switched between scalding hot and freezing cold with no encouragement. Things began to look up though when the flies came back to life. Or rather their friends joined us. In their droves. Any I opened a window or moved a curtain, the fly population in the house would multiply. The truth of it all is, this facility has loads of potential but it appears to be managed by this one man who is only interested in taking your money. When we checked out and went to drop our key off at reception, the door was locked and by good luck I still had his number to call him. He told me generally we just leave the key in the flat! Again no interest in the customers experience. That's pretty much it, except that I forgot to mention they didn't even supply toilet roll. An absolute joke of a place. Please please stay somewhere else.
