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!

there was a Match-making Festival happening in September in nearby villages of west of ireland, named biggest party for singles in the world. this was the best accommodation in terms of crowd-avoidance and distance from local attractions. we could have stayed little longer...
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.
Gerry and Pauline were first class. Myself and my Fiancée had been hiking and were soaked on arrival, Pauline took my Fiancées coat and dried it. they’re genuine people that really made our stay that much more personal. Room was lovely , comfortable bed and the breakfast was beautiful. we will definitely be back and I would highly recommend this establishment . right around the corner from the town (2 minute walk to restaurants) and cheaper/better than any hotel. Thank you Ballyvaughan Lodge for your hospitality!
At the end of our trip up the wild Atlantic way couldn’t think of a better place to end. It’s a truly unique property with both study and library to relax with a beer or a wine. The breakfast was superb. Also the surrounding scenery is stunning and a short walk to the nearest town which has a handful of restaurants and pubs. Also the water from the well is so good, tap or bottled water is just not the same!
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.
I would definitely recommend this B&B. Room was twice the size of the more expensive hotels we stayed in. Very comfortable with sofa, coffee table and chairs, overlooking fields with view to the hills. Comfortable lounge and breakfast room with view. Excellent breakfast. Good value and a pleasure to be in. Far better than the 4 more expensive B&Bs we stayed in.
Hosts were very welcoming. Beautifully clean, appointed self catering Studio with fresh supplies of bread,milk, tea, coffee and cake. Perfect location for visiting Aillwee Caves and a good stop along The Wild Atlantic Way.
Lovely rural setting with a short drive to local town.
Quality bed linens. Hotel Location on water. Excellent Food. Friendly staff. Bathroom towels. Extras in the bathroom like q tips and Kleenex box and slippers. Lounge room had quality furniture and was comfortable. Music on record player. Brown bread!! Irish porridge was yummy.
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.
Perfect location for all the attractions in the Burren and less than a minutes walk to Ballyvaughan where there are lots of good restaurants and bars. Awesome host, we are happy to highly recommend it and would happily visit again.
Fanciest B&B out of 3 trips to Ireland. More formal with paid staff rather than just the owner doing all the work.The breakfast room is more like a restaurant with a huge buffet of fresh fruits and homemade fruit compotes.
The staff in Wild Atlantic Lodge were all extremely welcoming and helpful.
I thoroughly enjoyed breakfast on both mornings - fast, efficient and friendly service and delicious food with a great selection.
Thank you.
The hotel is charming and Maria and Walter were very hospitable and welcoming.All of the detail that went into every room and the candle on the table at breakkfast.
This was our favorite B&B in Ireland! Mary is so charming! We loved her cooking and her house is clean and comfortable. I definitely recommend staying here.
