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.

With free parking, this guest house offers easy access to the stunning Irish countryside. Corcomroe Abbey, an early 13th-century Cistercian monastery, is 20 minutes’ drive away. This characterful property was full of quirks and personality. We really loved having access to common spaces (where we played some boardgames) and the owners kindly let some of our party stay late while the rest of us went horseback riding. They were able to accommodate my gluten allergy for breakfast, and my family members said the full Irish was amazing.

Situated in Doolin and only 11 km from Cliffs of Moher, Knockaguilla House Bed & Breakfast features accommodation with garden views, free WiFi and free private parking. Boasting a housekeeping service, this property also provides guests with a picnic area. The accommodation offers private check-in and check-out and bicycle parking for guests. Spacious room, private bathroom. Lovely view! Marie and her family were so kind and attentive, they made the stay so personable and welcoming. We are so lucky to have stayed a week with them! Despite some unfortunate airline delays, communication was easy and clear and we were able to arrange for a self check in after hours. Water, towels, toiletries and breakfast every morning was provided. It’s about an hour walk to the closest pub, which was not a problem for us, but something to keep in mind. Everything was phenomenal, we had a lovely stay and highly recommend booking with them!

In a great location at Lahinch, close to the Cliffs of Moher, the Ocean and the Famous Links Golf, Vaughan Lodge is a small, family-owned run by 4th generation local hoteliers, Michael and Maria Vaughan. Situated on the N67 45 minutes drive from Shannon Airport. We stayed at this hotel because we were looking for a 4 starts hotel near the cliffs, it wasn't easy because most places are 3 stars and less. The hotel is charming, run by a family who really cares about details and guests. Everything was comfortable, the stay was extremely nice, and since the coast of the Ocean is definitely worth visiting, we hit the tide and huge waves of the Atlantic, it was an almost epic experience! A place extremely worth visiting. Very nice stay.

The Nest is located just 1.5km from the centre of Doolin village, boasting views of sunsets and the Cliffs of Moher and the Aran Islands.

All of The Nest's rooms have flat screen TVs, hairdryers and tea and coffee making facilities. All of the en-suites are equipped with power showers. The nest was charming and cozy with ‘tiny house’ vibes. A bit off the beaten path without a car, but still just a peaceful 20 minute walk into town on quiet country roads.
