Hazelwood Lodge

We recently spent two nights in Hazelwood Lodge and, despite the inclement weather, thoroughly enjoyed our time. This gem of a guest house is located outside the village of Ballyvaughan. The road in is quite twisty and dangerous, not really suitable for walking although the proprietors provide high-viz vests for guests who want to. We stayed in the Garden Suite which was a very generous size with a comfortable seating area. Given the poor weather, we were delighted to return there each evening. Our bathroom, bedroom and sitting room were all spotlessly clean. We slept like logs thanks to the comfortable bed and complete quietness. Breakfast each morning was the highlight of the day, what a spread! There are no cooked-to-order dishes, it is a self-service buffet , but what a selection of beautifully cooked and presented hot and cold offerings! You will not be hungry. Our hosts were extremely friendly, helpful and professional throughout our stay, there if you needed them but not intrusive. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Hazelwood Lodge. It is the perfect base from which to explore the Burren . I highly recommend it to others hoping to holiday in the area, you will not be disappointed if you stay here.

Hazelwood was our favorite stay of our Ireland trip. The Burren Suite was large and comfortable with a bathtub - perfect for our family. Breakfast was a highlight! So many choices! The location is quiet but close to so many sights. If you’re interested in hiking, the Wood Loop passes right by the lodge! We only did a portion of it, but it was a beautiful way to enjoy the Burren.

I had a lovely stay here -- in a beautiful part of the Burren. The B n B is so comfortable: quiet, excellent linens, great water pressure, spotlessly clean, and you wake up each morning to a delicious breakfast of great variety. Your hosts are warm and welcoming and give you your own space. I traveled solo and felt safe and "at home" when I arrived back each evening. And bonus: the path to a gorgeous 2 hour hike begins right next door. A highlight hike! All in all, a wonderful experience. I would stay here again in a heartbeat, and sure hope to return one day. Thank you!

Hazelwood Lodge is more like a boutique hotel. The rooms are enormous and very comfortable. The owners are in a word, terrific and are a font of knowledge about The Burren. They could not be more hospitable. The breakfasts are justifiably famous! Don’t stay anywhere else.

Enjoyed our stay with our lovely hosts, Victor and Geraldine. The scenic countryside was very relaxing, the accommodations clean and comfortable, and the food delicious. Would enjoy returning should we have the opportunity.

Beautiful location just outside the village of Ballyvaughan. The guest room was extremely spacious with king bed & two comfortable chairs for lounging. The host was courteous & available to answer any questions about the area. Breakfast was made to order. Superb waffles. Food is sourced locally. I would stay here again.

Best BnB we’ve stayed at in Europe period! Beautiful room and bathroom and the hosts and breakfast were amazing. Would come back in a heart beat.

The hotel is located in a beautiful town and the hosts are very accommodating. The facility is immaculate with spacious rooms.

Victor and Geraldine are rather good at this stuff! Beautiful house, perfect location, huge comfortable bed, wonderful breakfast. We couldn’t have asked for more.
