The Waters Country House
Newtown, Ballyvaughan, Ireland – Excellent location – show map
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!
