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.

We really enjoyed our stay. The front desk staff were very helpful with suggestions of what to see in the area and provided detailed maps. We ate at the pub both nights and the food was delicious and the staff friendly. We especially enjoyed the entertainment. Our room was lovely and clean.

Ballyvaughn is a very small town, with a number of pubs and restaurants within walking distance. Plus the pier on the bay made for memorable evening walks. The hotel’s pub was fun. During the week local folks come in and play music. It seemed to be something they do for their own enjoyment rather than something done for tourists which made the experience great. The hotel’s breakfast was great too, I recommend the eggs benedict!

Details of rooms matter.
Three flights of stairs to our room, beyond an atrium of which the carpet is unsightly. Our room was airless and hot. Thank goodness for the fan we found in the closet. The second night was more pleasant after a cleaning staff opened the ceiling window of which we were not informed of upon arriving.

First the good. Staff was excellent. Accomodated us for dinner after late arrival...and food was tasty. The bad: -no elevator -huge waterstains in hallway -wifi not working -terrace between first and second floor looked like a tenement -needs updating, dated and worn carpet, furniture, etc.

Very comfortable room!
We really liked this traditional hotel. Our room was very comfortable and homey and clean. The cleaning staff for the hotel were really helpful (helping us get our luggage upstairs). The only thing that you might stay away from is the dinner food in the attached pub. It didn't have much taste. But the breakfast was fine.
