Rustic elegance. No television, how refreshing is that? Wolfgang and Maria are terrific hosts, super friendly and thoughtful. We had a wonderful stay.

If you can let go of the need for everything to be pristine in your hotel room, you will love this quirky, shabby, out-of-the-way place! Host is lovely, bed was super comfortable, great breakfast, and just a comfy, funky place to hang out on the Burren.

Remote location, book dinner in town if you’re going to want to eat. We arrived later after a late lunch and brought crackers and cheese etc for a light dinner. Wolfgang and Maria are wonderful. Great shared spaces to have a drink from the honesty bar and meet other travellers. Breakfast was fantastic! The Burren was a real treat to see.

The host and hostess were one of the best we have experienced at any place. A warm welcome and big hug when leaving. The most elaborate breakfast at any B&B. So nice to know of your place. Best wishes

We happened to find this gem and we will definitely be back. We were only there for one night, which was definitely not long enough. Gorgeous views, cozy rooms and delicious breakfast!

This was by far my favorite place that we stayed in Ireland. A wonderful country experience. The spring in the lower level of the house is amazing and the views are superb. The food was also excellent. Thank you so much!

Wonderful place tucked away in the countryside on a quick trip to the Cliffs. Excellent breakfast and nice accommodations. Our first trip to Ireland. We will be back. Maria was a wonderful host.

The Water Country House was the perfect retreat. We were only there for one night, but the hosts and lodgings were wonderful. The hotel is exquisitely sited into the hillside, taking full advantage of the views and the natural surroundings. We have already recommended it to friends traveling to the area next year. We hope to return in the future, next time for a longer visit.
