My great grandfather, Padraig Vaughan, built the original Vaughan cottage which remains to this day in our family. The dwelling was newly renovated and extended in 2008. The house enjoys wonderful vistas of The Burren landscape and Newtown Castle.
Travel cots/Pack n Play/ Toys can be provided upon request. There is a wooden cot bed/infant bed positioned in the twin bedroom as we know this room is popular with younger family members.
If you require a housekeeper or cook during your stay, this can be arranged separately
The space
There are 5 spacious and well-appointed bedrooms, 4 large luxurious bathrooms, each with a separate shower and separate bath as well as ample communal spaces.
The large kitchen/diner has a ceiling open up all the way to the rafters and its central feature is a reclaimed Belfast brick chimney stack containing a modern range cooker.
Guest access
The property sits on a walled and gated plot of approx. 1 acre all in full access of the guests. Outside Seating provided.
Interaction with guests
We look forward to welcoming you to this special place and our family holiday home. My husband, children and I currently live overseas, however, we have support locally should you require assistance.
As we don't live at the house, it is generally not possible for me to be there when you arrive to welcome you in person but I shall leave keys and instructions on where everything is. Our housekeeper and maintenance man lives in the village and are happy to call by if you have any problems or need any information on the area or the house.
Getting around
We are situated in the perfect location for touring the Wild Atlantic Way. There is a bus service from the village of Ballyvaughan however to get the full sightseeing experience a car is essential. We have plenty of wonderful walks on our doorstep and bike rental can be arranged through a local bike rental shop.
Other things to note
Although the original old cottage was a much more modest dwelling, its occupants - the Vaughans, whose name is also synonymous with the village itself - were very friendly and welcoming.
The Vaughans were the first to introduce tourism to Ballyvaughan in the 1940s when Mr Rocks stayed here and built the new church altar. Mr Rocks' marble crafted altar is present in the Ballyvaughan church till this day. Vaughan cottage was just a fraction of its current size when he stayed there and the toilet was outside, but he enjoyed his stay with the Vaughans so much so that he went back to Dublin to tell his family and friends that they should all come to visit. As a result, the Rocks, the Walshes and the McConnells became regular guests at Vaughan cottage and so started the growth of tourism in the village.
My father Padraig, who was born and raised in the cottage, same as his mother before him, has very happy memories of an old gramophone playing on a stone wall outside as people danced Irish sets, sang and played music during his childhood - the original talent showcases before television took over. Passers-by were welcome to call in and nobody left the house hungry. Vaughan Cottage has always welcomed guests.
