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.

8/10 Very good

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.
