Hotel was lovely, room was very spacious and bathroom was newly refurbished, although the bath was a bit too high, making getting out of the shower a little awkward. Food, I didn't think was too good. While breakfast came on a large plate, and there was plenty to eat, if only it could be eaten. Bacon and sausage seemed like they had been cooked ages ago, and were tough and cold (having said that - I like my food piping hot). Entertainment was excellent - something for everyone. I would definitely go back. Lovely helpful staff too. Yes, we had a great time

Day out in Ballyvaughan staying in Hyland Hotel. Couple in 60’s
Hotel was lovely. A bit aged but that’s fine. Breakfast very poor… cold and eggs raw. Didn’t eat much if it.

Ballyvaughan is a beautiful little village with stunning views. Sadly this hotel is not the best and could really do much better. It’s badly in need of an upgrade and more staff. The room was spacious but clearly hadn’t been cleaned before our arrival. The carpet hadn’t been vacuumed. The bedding was old and cheap and the bathroom was quite shoddy. It took a good 5 minutes for the shower to warm up to a decent temperature. The carpet in the communal areas was extremely worn and frayed particularly up to the first floor. We paid for breakfast and I really wish we hadn’t. Again cheap ingredients and the scrambled egg was inedible. The 2 staff on duty were run ragged and one was having to cover a busy breakfast service and reception for guests checking out. This hotel is badly in need of a revamp .. and extra staff to bring it up to a reasonable standard. I’m sorry to say it’s nowhere near a 3 star and is overpriced. I’m sure with some investment this could be a very good hotel in a superb location.

In a good location for visiting the amazing sites. Good parking available. The hotel is in need of an upgrade. Our room was small and had a terrible smell in the bathroom. A leak ? Carpets are threadbare & stained. No welcome biscuits. Dinner was ok. Limited menu. A cosy bar area. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Hidden gem. Lovely comfortable hotel with the friendliest of staff. A quirky hotel with well presented rooms and lovely seating areas. Very clean and breakfast was very good. Great value for money. Don’t pass this one out. Great place to tour north Clare and just relax and take in the scenery.

Have mixed feelings about this hotel - the location is great ; some of the staff were wonderful in particular the french staff at breakfast time ; a nice breakfast menu however severely understaffed one morning ; a nice touch of artisan chocolates waiting in the room are the positives. The downsides are general wear and tear, shabbiness and a need for upgrading throughout the building especially as you walk into the reception which has the worst, most off-putting smell of frying (very easily resolved with a diffuser) ; view of the carpark for a lot of rooms ; overpriced for what you get.

The room was small, the furniture very outdated. The caulking in the bathroom was amateurish. One of the chairs fell apart when I sat on it. The view was nothing to look at: a hedge and 6 garbage containers. Breakfast was chaos. Too many guests, too few staff. Buffet was empty and was not replenished or replenished too slowly. Complained at reception but nothing was done. Very expensive hotel for what you get. We will never come here again.

We ate in the bar. We won't be back. It was not a good experience. Very poor plate with one piece of totally overcooked fish, a so-called 'celtic salad' of tough leaved, chips, a tiny pot of minted peas and another of mayonnaise. The chips were OK, everything else was not.
