The building is beautiful. The room, not so much. Carpet dirty, the walls have mold, the tub water is slow, and the access door under the sink fell. Also, WiFi is not very good (at all).

My dad is from Ballyvaughan so have been coming here since a child but always stayed at his family home. The hotel is lovely and the pub great and really enjoyed the trad music on Sunday afternoon. Great food and nice friendly staff. I will definitely stay again and hopefully you will have Greene's open by then as that is a fabulous proper Irish pub too

A very nice hotel located in a lovely little town. We were very happy with the breakfast, and our pub supper. Rooms and bathrooms were very large and super clean. Lovely!

The water tasted moldy from the tap (bathroom, restaurant, anything that might use tap water). The hot breakfast wasn’t very hot. The poached eggs were great but that’s it. Ok was good too

It’s ridiculous that the hotel has a restaurant that is open until 9pm but we can’t get a meal as the kitchen closes at 8:30pm. Luckily, Mr Kebab is across the street and had way better prices and options. Their pizza was fantastic! This hotel overall is very overpriced.

The property was just ok. These are very minor points but it was very hard to open the doors to get to our room and when trying to roll luggage, it was very difficult. Also, there was a pair of dirty socks next to our night stand. They provided only two instant coffee packs and when I went down to the front desk at 7AM, nobody was available and finally when somebody was, they couldn’t find anymore coffee. The service at the attached bar was excellent and all the individuals serving us were extremely friendly. Finally, our room was left unlocked after the cleaning on the first day. We came back at 6PM and the door was not only unlocked but wasn’t completely closed. Fortunately, all our belongings were still there.

For people, food, and unspoiled beauty there is no better place than Ballyvaughan. David and his team are beyond professional and caring and we are so grateful to be able to have shared a few days together. Thank you again for everything that has been done, and we look forward returning.

Do not stay here! Music in attached bar was going until 4am, made multiple calls throughout the night, was so loud couldn't sleep at all... Nothing was done to resolve. Spiders, cobwebs, old bathroom, musty smell. Had three rooms here and all had their issues.
