I've just returned from Ballyvaughan, Ireland, where I stayed at the newly re-opened Hylands Burren Hotel. I had read that there were peat fires in the bar and common areas, which was true, and the dark and smoky smell was welcoming. The ground floor has two lounges with large, comfortable couches and chairs, where you can relax before dinner. The... More

We stayed at the hotel in august 2012 for two nights. The hotel is clean, staff very polite and great atmosphere in the hotel bar. There was an open fire in the lobby which made the hotel very cosy. There are some wonderful walks around the area and the Ailwee Cave which you should definitely go and see if you... More

I have just returned from a stay at The Hylands hotel and it was without doubt the worst experience I have ever had at a hotel. The room was basic but clean enough which we didnt mind as we were only staying for one night. We dined with family at a nearby restaurant and when we returned around midnight our... More

We were there with our two children who loved the family room. There is a lovely relaxed chilled out vibe to this place. We had dinner, great value, and a lovely breakfast there. They serve a brilliant pint of Guinness in the bar and make sure you try the seafood chowder.

Enjoyed our short stay in Ballyvaughan. We were here for a wedding and chose this hotel because of its central location. It is right in the village and walking distance from everywhere as it can be tough getting a taxi late at night and we didnt want to find ourselves walking on dark roads. Our room was to the front...
