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.

The owners and the room were great. The only issues that I had was the water at the property and the mixup in room accommodations. The water on the property is from a natural spring in the house and it isn’t clear or obvious if the water is filtered for protozoa and bacteria. I didn’t drink it out of concern for getting sick less I boil it. The room was nice and clean, but it wasn’t what I paid for. I paid for a bigger room with an exta bed and was given a smaller room with a single bed. Again, the room was nice, but it wasn’t what I paid for. Still, id stay here again, but id bring a water filter ot some extra bottles of water.

My only regret is we were only at Waters one night. Lovely manor, Maria and Wolfgang are wonderful hosts. The breakfast was 5 stars. I want to come back for a week next time ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

This is a lovely place tucked out in the country. The owner, Wolfgang, greeted us on arrival and gave a good tour of the place and to our room. It is an old house so the wood is dark giving it and older look but everything is clean and well kept. Our room was small but adequate. The bed is firm and linens are soft. If you use a blow dryer you will need to bring your own as well as a plug converter. There is a plug strip on one side of the bed that accepts American plugs. The breakfast was delicious and plenty of options. The grounds around are beautiful as this is also a retreat center. Overall it was a very nice stay and good value.

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.

Absolutely magical find nestled in the Irish countryside. The host was top notch from our first interaction through our last. The property is adorable and really makes you feel like you are experiencing Ireland. Wonderful breakfast, beautiful room, easy to park and did I say charming host! Don't look twice if you need a place in this area. Easy drive to the Cliffs of Moher too.

Thank you for such a wonderful stay

The Country house turned out to be a great last minute booking for my wife and I as we drove around Ireland. We were a bit skeptical as we drove down the crazy Irish off-road to get there, but ended up really enjoying the quite location. Wolfgang and his staff were great and the Irish breakfast was everything we expected. Only note, the lack of a television in the room threw my wife off a bit. Just different than we're used to, that's all.

One word: MAGICAL! This was our first trip to Ireland and this was our FAVORITE stay!! Our hosts Maria and Wolfgang are natural hosts and couldn't have made our stay any better or make us feel more welcome! The Full Irish Breakfast was the best we had in Ireland, it was so nice to visit with the hosts and hear a bit about the location and wonderful suggestion for dinner. Our room overlooked the green beauty that is Ireland and honestly, the stay here really helped make our first trip so memorable. Thank you Maria and Wolfgang!!

Wolfgang’s hospitality and the idillic location in the Burren makes this a very unique and peaceful experience. Breakfast was plentiful and tasty. It felt like we were hosted by family. We were very pleased by the availability of a taxi to the small town for dinner.

Wolfgang and his wife, Maria, were delightful hosts. Beds were comfortable and breakfast yummy. My only issue was that a bat got in our room (no screens on the windows) and this was a bit unexpected.

Perfect location centrally located from Galway, the Burren, the Cliffs of Moher, and Doolin. Wolfgang and Maria are wonderful hosts! Service and morning breakfast were first rate. Local restaurants with live Irish and non Irish music.

The Waters Hotel was the highlight of our trip. It's the place we keep talking about when we reminisce about our vacation. The location is beautiful and green and quiet. The proprietors were so welcoming and kind. The breakfast was delicious and started our days off right. The room felt like stepping back in time in the best way. It was comfortable and completely wonderful. We would go back in a heartbeat.

What an amazing place to stay. We had three rooms for our group of 5. A room with two twins, a room with a king and one of the suites. The suite is AMAZING. The furnishings, decorations, linens and everything were perfect. The owners are just absolutely amazing. There are free coffee, tea stations. Three sitting rooms with chess, fireplaces and TVs. Water pressure was great and super hot water. Also the natural spring that you fill your water container for your room was so unique. Breakfast was the best we've had so far. I could just go on and on. If your anywhere near the cliffs and need somewhere to stay, this is the place.
