This was without a doubt one of the best B&B's we have ever stayed at. Everything was very straight-forward with check-in and check-out. The room we stayed in was absolutely gorgeous, and the property was stunning. I highly recommend this to anyone looking to stay in the area. We wish that we could have stayed here longer than we did!

Extremely quiet and serene country setting, great breakfast, very hospitable hosts, and quite central to Galway, Cliffs of Moher, Doolin, Aran Islands. The natural spring was a nice touch. Would definitely stay again

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.
