The room was clean and quite nice. The hotel was very clean and well organized and the pub was great. Michael the front desk person was like a one man show, checking people in, serving food, taking care of the running of the hotel, in a word he was AWESOME. A great stay and we highly recommend to anyone.

Rooms were very clean and comfortable. The staff members were amazing! Everyone was super friendly and welcoming, really great people! The chef not only gave us an unforgettable meal but also great conversation and entertainment later on with percussions. The live music was so much fun and made better by the staff and patrons. Truly one of the best experiences we’ve ever had! Thank you! -JM

I would highly recommend this hotel. The staff were so nice. The pub downstairs was exactly what I would expect at a small Irish village. The town is very quaint and the walking trails around the town are easily accessible.

We arrived quite a bit early and were given a warm welcome with tea and told we could sit by the fire until our rooms were ready. The inn was clean and comfortable and well situated within the little town. We enjoyed the live music in the pub every night and the breakfast every morning. We would stay here again.

My dad is from Ballyvaughan so have been coming here since a child but always stayed at his family home. The hotel is lovely and the pub great and really enjoyed the trad music on Sunday afternoon. Great food and nice friendly staff. I will definitely stay again and hopefully you will have Greene's open by then as that is a fabulous proper Irish pub too

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!
