Enjoyed our stay at Waters Country House. Beautiful place. Bed was comfortable. Our breakfast was delicious. Wished there were areas to sit outside on the property since it had a gorgeous view. Wolfgang was very welcoming - we enjoyed chatting with him. Location is great - near the small castle and town of Ballyvaughn.

This was such a cute little place tucked away in the remote area of The Burren. The owner Wolfgang was so friendly and the breakfast was amazing!

This place was one of a kind. The house was old, well kept, comfortable and just stunning. The owners were absolutely wonderful, kind and easy to talk to. The grounds were well kept and peaceful. It is the perfect place to relax and write or read a book. The natural springs were a nice surprise and the water was cold, clear and fresh tasting. We will be going back and highly recommend this place.

My husband and I traveled to Ireland for our honeymoon and chose this inn for a few days of rest and relaxation. The establishment was clean, quiet & peaceful. The breakfast was delicious. Wolfgang was so kind to make us coffee in the morning while he was preparing breakfast for the guests. The inn was a good distance to Galway, Cliffs of Moher, the Atlantic coast. We ate dinner at Russell’s in Doolin, food was incredible. Reservations are suggested.
