Spent two nights at the wild atlantic lodge in early July. From the moment we arrived Paul and his staff made us feel welcome. They were very friendly throughout our stay offering advice on the best places to visit etc.. The rooms are small but cosy, comfortable and spotlessly clean. There's a bar and restaurant attached to the guest house, both of which serve delicious food....The spread they put on for breakfast would also put some 5 star hotels to shame.

If you're planning a trip to west Clare or the Burren area than Ballyvaughan is an ideal spot to base yourself. All the sights are within reach, the Ailwee caves are just 5 minutes away, and you can get to the cliffs of moher in about a half hour.

I honestly couldn't find fault with the wild atlantic lodge and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.
