We stayed here for one night and were the sole guests. Not sure what is going on with this place; it was certainly fine--but I'm wishing we had negotiated for a better price. At the height of the tourist season in Doolin, their business was WAY off. more

Our group of six travelers arrived right from the airport vis the cliffs of moher and a stunning, yet rough boat cruise. We were tired, wet and cold and what a pleasure it was to arrive at Ballyvara House, the staff was warm and welcoming. We were quickly shown to our rooms so we could get situated before we left... more

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

Stayed here for 3 nights in August, We stayed in the self catering accomodation. Accomodation was good, we had breakfast on one morning as part of our package, breakfast was good, overall experience was good. I was expecting it to be better based on reviews. There is a playground and tennis court. Self catering accomodation could do with a lick... 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

There was plenty of parking and great views. The staff was friendly and helpful. The breakfast was very good with a nice selection inlcuding fresh... more

We booked this hotel at last minute when we decided we could in fact squeeze the Cliffs of Moher into the end of our trip (which I highly recommend you do by the way). We paid 140 Euro for a triple room including breakfast (for 3). This room was BY FAR the largest we stayed in while in Ireland. Breakfast... more

After extensive traveling all around Ireland we ended in Doolin to spend four glorious days seeing the sights and enjoying all that Ballyvara had to offer. Beautiful rooms, fantastic food, excellent service and a homey atmosphere made our stay terrific. 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
