Old Fashion stay clean stay

We stayed in the three bedroom room. Room was of adequate size and had a small coffee table with a hot tea pitcher. Breakfast in the morning was very good. I ordered the vegetarian breakfast which had a lot of fresh fruit and also came with portage, yougurt and coffee. My companions ordered the Full Irish for breakfast and they explained that it was very good and it was a lot of food. Our food was included and well worth it We ate in a small, but nicely decorated dinning area. Hotel had a more traditional feel, like staying in Ireland in a bygone time. It had a clean bathroom with a tub that was very tall and somewhat difficult to get in. It had a shower attachment and glass wall in the tub so you could shower. The beds were a little bit on the harder side. but otherwise the room was comfortable. The location of the room was adequate. Overall the stay was nice. Breakfast was amazing. Staff was very kind. We had no overall complaints. I recommend you check out the small Newton Castle nearby, interesting place

The cutest Bed and Breakfast ever. The staff was lovely!! The breakfast in the morning was amazing and fresh and the hosts gave the best recommendations from a "locals" perspective and were so enjoyable. Our room was kept stocked with tea, coffee and chocolates. The place was clean and comfortable. I would definitely recommended and stay again!

Nice B&B, though not much in the immediate area. Ballyvaughan is a very small village (sort of a “one pub” town).

Wow-what a stay! This B&B is located in the most beautiful area and made us feel right at home. The staff are fantastic and friendly, making everything from check in to check out easy. This was truly our favorite accommodation we have ever stayed in! They make you a delicious breakfast served in the nicest way. The family room was huge, clean, & so comfortable. The shower was meek but the wi-fi was strong. It was quiet, safe, & comforting. I cannot recommend Cappabhaile enough!
