Alison, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

There’s a fabulous atmosphere, especially at breakfast time. You feel like you’re staying in some old castle. We like our beds firm but soft, this one was hard, too hard for our aging bones.
James, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Quirky accomodation off the beaten track. Feels very dated and not easy to reach due to narrow approach roads and limited dining options, but that is part of its charm. The hosts are extremely accommodating. Perfect for getting away from the stresses of modern life.
Jason, 1-night trip

Beautiful space, easy driving across the Burren. The owners are wonderful. We will stay here next time for sure!

Nancy, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We loved our stay at The Waters County House! It was a lovely little place in the countryside with gorgeous views, lovely staff, and a delicious breakfast! I especially loved the beautiful fountain in the back of the property that let me settle down and sketch for the night! Thank you so much for the stay!!
Abbagale, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

This property is off the beaten path, but it is an experience to stay there. The property is large and has a unique feel that makes you feel like you are staying somewhere special. There are a couple of cozy lounge areas, and an honour system bar for guests to enjoy. The room was comfortable and had its own bathroom with small shower. Breakfast was very nice, with hot options made to order, and a continental buffet as well. The area is quite scenic. The proprietor’s were very friendly, welcoming and friendly. If you are planning to travel from Galway to the Cliffs of Moher, it is a great place to stay to get an earlier arrival at the Cliffs in the morning and beat the crowds.
Ryan, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Great private location in the Burren with huge vistas. Wolfgang and Maria are fantastic hosts. It is rustic, and I would suggest staying away from the economy king room we had which had no view and was pretty simple. Still, a unique property and memorable experience.
peter, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Absolutely beautiful property and accommodation. The host was amazing and breakfast was fantastic. Would come back. The best accommodation my wife and I have stayed at during our 2 weeks in Ireland. 10 out of 10.
Austin, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We were greeted with such kindness and loved every aspect of this accommodation. The breakfast was bountiful, delicious and there were displayed with much charm. Having breakfast on fine China was a treat. We had the pleasure of speaking with the owners who were quite delightful. Would definitely recommend and hope to return

(New) Old-World Charm!

If you are looking for old-world charm, this is the place! You cannot beat the charm, or the lovely couple who own the property. There is even a fresh spring fountain that the property was built around. The most delicious and pure spring water ever! The property is beyond gorgeous, as are the views! We would definitely stay here again!

What a lovely stay at the Water's Country House. Our three children said this was by far their favorite place in Ireland! We all loved the country quiet, starry skies, and the occasional neighbor "moo!" We sat by the fire in the house drawing room and played cards at night. We will be back!
