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 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.

    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!

    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.

    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

    The location was perfect with beautiful views across the sea inlet and further beyond. Ballyvaughan is one of the best spots for a break with excellent restaurants, a well-stocked shop and wonderful pubs and tea rooms. The house was spacious and accessible. We appreciated being able to bring our dogs along with us.

    The staff were so lovely and helpful. They are a dog friendly hotel and our dog stayed in our room with us and was allowed into the bar with us in the evening. Our room was very clean and comfortable and the location was perfect. This was our second time staying here and we will definitely be back.

    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.
