The folks at Ballyvara were extremely helpful and welcoming. When I left my wallet in a taxi, the girl at the desk called taxi companies all over Clare trying to find out which taxi company I had taken. The breakfast was close to the best thing that had ever passed my hung over lips. Americans take note: this is the... more

We were in Ireland for 2 weeks this June. I only booked 1 night at the Ballyvara House and I wish I'd have stayed a week. This was by far the best hotel we stayed in. The rooms are spacious. The service is amazing. The breakfast was really good. The cliffs of Mohr are only a couple of minutes away... more

We're planning another trip in 2009 and this time we'll make reservations at Ballyvara ahead of time to make sure... more

My husband and I have stayed in Ballyvara on several occasions due to its lovely location, the service of the staff and the overall 'at home yet luxurious' ambience instilled in Ballyvara. The most recent was for our first wedding anniversary last July and it was just wonderful. There isn't a fault to be found with the facilities, it's a... more

My wife and I stayed at Ballyvara House at the end of September 2007 and truly loved our stay. The house is beautiful, immaculately clean and has a number of amenities you won't find even in really expensive hotels - a library, a billiard room, and a lovely patio. Becky Flanangan, the owner and operator is a thoroughly charming person... more
