Drumcreehy Country House

$ | Bishop's Quarter, Ballyvaughan, Ireland

The pretty gabled facade with dormer windows is traditional in style, but, in fact, Bernadette Moloney and her German husband, Armin Grefkes, designed and built this house specifically as a B&B. It's across the road from the sea, about 2 km (1 mile) north of the village, close to Bishop's Quarter Beach. The interior has character and style, thanks to a mix of imposing 19th-century German antiques, stripped-pine floors, and comfortable sofas and armchairs. Each guest room is individually styled on a wildflower theme, with plain walls, color-coordinated quilts and curtains, brass bedsteads, and attractive small antiques. The delicious breakfast menu offers an unusually wide choice, while the hosts are knowledgeable about the area, and have a good supply of books and maps.

  • Big bedrooms for a B&B
  • Nice waterfront location
  • Peaceful nights

Cons

  • A long (1-mile-plus) walk down a narrow busy road to village
  • Some communal spaces are small
  • Standard design
