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

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.
