The cutest Bed and Breakfast ever. The staff was lovely!! The breakfast in the morning was amazing and fresh and the hosts gave the best recommendations from a "locals" perspective and were so enjoyable. Our room was kept stocked with tea, coffee and chocolates. The place was clean and comfortable. I would definitely recommended and stay again!

Nice B&B, though not much in the immediate area. Ballyvaughan is a very small village (sort of a “one pub” town).

Wow-what a stay! This B&B is located in the most beautiful area and made us feel right at home. The staff are fantastic and friendly, making everything from check in to check out easy. This was truly our favorite accommodation we have ever stayed in! They make you a delicious breakfast served in the nicest way. The family room was huge, clean, & so comfortable. The shower was meek but the wi-fi was strong. It was quiet, safe, & comforting. I cannot recommend Cappabhaile enough!

The owner is kind and welcoming. A great stop for the night if you are leaving the cliffs late after sunset and passing through. Breakfast is an event to not be missed as the owner and staff provide a full meal that's hard to beat.
