Situated in Newtown, 5 minutes’ drive from Ballyvaughan and Galway Bay, The Waters Country House boasts over 40 acres of farmland at the foot of the Burren Hills. Ailwee Cave, also featuring an underground river and a waterfall, is only 3km from the property.

Our hosts, Wolfgang and Maria were delightful and so helpful. We felt at home in our cosy Burren suite and also in the common areas. Breakfasts were amazing. Our 9 night stay would have to be the best ever for me.

Featuring mountain views, Oranuisce Thatch Cottage Ballyvaughan features accommodation with a garden and a patio, around 32 km from Cliffs of Moher. The property features lake and garden views. The holiday home also provides free WiFi, free private parking and facilities for disabled guests.

First and foremost - that it is dog friendly. Beautiful traditional thatched cottage with everything needed for a comfortable stay. Paul the host was very accommodating and friendly, he was responsive and helpful which made me feel at home in the cottage. I appreciated all the welcoming touches, from the chilled drinks and snacks, to the fuel for the stove and Christmas decor. Beds were lovely, and the sofa was extremely comfortable. The enclosed back yard was so handy for my little dog. The whole place is gorgeous, really. Location also superb as a base.

    The Waters felt like a home away from home. It is the most romantic and Cosy spot we‘ve ever been to. One could really calm down and detox and meet the other tourists or the owner for a chat. The breakfast was great and one could really enjoy being in the moment.

    We stayed for two nights at Ballyvaughan Lodge and it was a wonderful experience. There was a huge range of delicious fresh food for breakfast. The bed was very comfortable and everything clean and cosy in the room. The friendly welcome from the hosts was something special. All round a great place to stay and we’ll be back!

    I cannot put into words how beautiful the Waters country house is. The entire property is absolutely gorgeous, with old - but beautiful - furniture and decoration, a cozy fireplace, a natural spring (with drinkable water) and the most amazing breakfast ever. Wolfgang and his wife were fantastic hosts and I felt very comfortable throughout the entirety of my stay. The location near The Burren and the nearest town also add to this amazing property. I will definitely be back for a longer stay, and I can only recommend this beautiful B&B.

    One of the most charming places I have ever been. So cozy, and beautiful decor. The rooms were comfy and welcoming, and the shared spaces were unique and plentiful. Everyone was extremely friendly and accommodating, and fed us a wonderful Irish breakfast. The nearby waterfront town is also beautiful to walk around and stop in for a meal. I’d highly recommend the 8km trail that cuts through the city and circles around the countryside.
