The Wild Atlantic Lodge

Ballyvaughan is a wonderful village, and the Wild Atlantic Lodge is a quality place to stay at. Rooms and facilities are really good, and the staff are friendly and helpful. Would have been a five star rating if the evening meal had been up to the same high standard. The menu choice was limited, and the fish & chips that I selected for my meal had the smallest size fish portion that I had throughout my stay in Ireland. What a pity

When you have partied all night in magical Lisdoonvarna, your thoughts turn to breakfast as you negotiate Corkscrew hill. My hopes were slim of finding a restaurant open early Sunday morning coming down. And then I found Wild Atlantic Lodge on main Street Ballyvaughan. The two kind friendly ladies in charge took a chance on this travel weary pilgrim , even though breakfast was for guests only. Thank you Ladies. It was one pleasure after another in the relaxing, friendly, cosy home from home ambience. The cold buffet was extensive and varied, the coffee top class, and the Irish breakfast superb. Irish Breakfast is all in the cooking and great skill is required to produce a repast worthy of that title. Wild Atlantic Lodge has the skill mastered to an exceptional degree. Never in the history of Irish Breakfasts has so many great tastes combined for the pleasure of just one! I hope all who travel in the Clare region will seek and find this culinary gem, and enjoy the pleasures of good food, served properly.

My family of four thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Ballyvaughn was a charming village and a perfect jumping off spot for our adventures in County Clare. We struck up conversations with locals at The Snug pub (adjoining the hotel) and appreciated the proximity to a nearby cafe and small grocery store. The best part of our time here: Oliver, our taxi driver!
