Wonderful place to stay to explore the Burren and Aran Islands

Reviewed By stephanegroud

Hazelwood Lodge is perfectly located to explore the surrounding area (Burren National Park, Aran Islands -> Doolin is 30mn away by car, Aillwee Caves literally around the corner) but it is not just the location that makes this B&B a great place to stay. Victor and Geraldine are such friendly hosts and have tastefully decorated and maintained their lodge, with clean, spacious rooms and very comfortable beds. The surroundings are green and quiet, and the breakfast is delicious with a large choice of options for all tastes. To top this off, the lodge is 3mn away by car or 15mn walk away from the centre of Ballyaughan and a number of great restaurants. Monks was our go to place and we were treated to a wonderful sunset. Would definitely recommend Hazelwood Lodge and stay there again!

Reviewed By sberniedaly

This was our second time staying here (July 2021) and this month and will be back again. Fantastic accommodation, location, hospitality and dog friendly country house. Bernadette and Armin are wonderful hosts and cannot do enough for you. Breakfast is out of this world. Fruit salad is to die for, best I have ever eaten. So much choice of meats, breads, cheese, a fantastic spread and lots of choice suitable to all tastes on the menu. Our dog enjoyed her stay too :-) 5 mins walk from the beach Bishops Quarter, lovely walks and short distance by car to Ballyvaughan village, Monks Seafood restaurant is amazing. Cannot recommend highly enough, next time will stay longer than 2 nights. Thank you Bernadette and Armin and staff.

Clean, comfortable and just outside the quaint town of Doolin. The property had great views and Martin was welcoming and happy to share recommendations of local sites, shops and pubs. Rooms had lots of space and the continental breakfast has many food items to choose from. No wonder this place has so many good write ups, they are well deserved.

Reviewed By Andrew P

Book now! Do not delay another moment. The pictures cannot begin to do this stay justice. Coming from the states we had reservations on where to book our family of 21 for our wedding. The Lodge Doolin far exceeded all expectations. Not only did Diedre help us coordinate to meet all of our needs, she is warm and truly cares for all of her patrons. We have traveled all around the world and would put the Lodge Doolin at the top of our list of places to stay. I can only hope with how amazing a stay there will be any availability for patrons in the future because there should be quite the queue to reserve.

For visiting Doolin and the Cliffs of Moher area this is a lovely place to stay. The rooms are modern, spotless with comfortable beds and a spacious and powerful shower. The accommodation is in a separate building adjacent to the house and is on one level only. Hosts were friendly and welcoming and breakfast was delicious. Excellent value and one of the best guest houses we have stayed in. We were definitely impressed with O’Leary’s Lodge and would highly recommend

Quality Lodging a Short Walk from Everything

Reviewed By ScottS_MN

This is a friendly lovely family run place. My room was extra comfortable & the owners were quick to help and answer any questions. It really is a comfortable place and despite being on a road into the village it was quiet and i would know. It was an easy walk to the local pubs and restaurants. Lots of on site parking. I highly recommend.

Different in a Good Way

Reviewed By Kathy B

The pictures of The Waters Country House can't quite capture just how different and quirky (in a good way) The Waters is. It was great to have rooms, other than one's bedroom, to relax in. The fact that fires were lit and an honour bar added to the atmosphere. However, what I really appreciated was Wolfgang and Maria's willingness to change the booking mistake I'd made. Lovely place, lovely hosts

Burren Walking Holiday

Reviewed By nmurphy22016

Room was clean and tidy, well maintained. Nice bar and friendly barstaff. Food was excellent, as good as I've had in some time. As part of a group we were on a restricted menu . We've done this type of tour before and have no hesitation in stating that the dinner menu at the Hylands Hotel far surpassed anything we came across before. Imaginative and tasty, our biggest problem was deciding what to eat!!
