What a lovely stay at the Water's Country House. Our three children said this was by far their favorite place in Ireland! We all loved the country quiet, starry skies, and the occasional neighbor "moo!" We sat by the fire in the house drawing room and played cards at night. We will be back!

This was without a doubt one of the best B&B's we have ever stayed at. Everything was very straight-forward with check-in and check-out. The room we stayed in was absolutely gorgeous, and the property was stunning. I highly recommend this to anyone looking to stay in the area. We wish that we could have stayed here longer than we did!

Enjoyed our stay at Waters Country House. Beautiful place. Bed was comfortable. Our breakfast was delicious. Wished there were areas to sit outside on the property since it had a gorgeous view. Wolfgang was very welcoming - we enjoyed chatting with him. Location is great - near the small castle and town of Ballyvaughn.
