Arrived in West Clare to spend a few nights just for a little rewind, recharge, rest and relaxation. A friend had recommended Vaughan's to eat, so we booked in for 2 nights B&B for handiness. The room was perfect for us - the bed was super-comfy and separate from the bar/restaurant with its own entrance up a flight of stairs. Both days we had a basket of coffee pods, biscuits, crisps and replacement shower toiletries. The restaurant food was delicious with an obvious focus on locally sourced fish. The starters were preceded by a complimentary cup of soup with bread. All in all, first class and reasonable prices for the quality and standard. Had we wanted anything other than fish [we didn’t], there was beef and, I think, lamb. The beef was expensive [had we chosen that], but then beef prices are through the roof everywhere at the moment. The creme brulee we shared was divine! Breakfast on both mornings [included in the B&B price] was superb. A wide selection of cereals, granola, freshly squeezed juices, local cheeses, smoked salmon, cured meats, yoghurts etc to self-serve and also a wide choice of cooked breakfast options served by a really friendly waitress. We had the full Irish cooked breakfast one morning [served with loads of toast and Guiness brown bread] and hash browns with poached eggs and sausages the next -- basically, they'll pretty much cook to order. Tea and coffee was very good too. Overall, a very easy-going, pleasant stay in a friendly, high-quality establishment! We'll return and would highly recommend.

“Service is very poor”

What let's this place down is it's service. The food is good but with certain things very overpriced, the wagu steak for example. At these prices the service needs to be better. Staff are sullen and disinterested. Not good enough in my opinion. I won't be going back.

“Didn’t live up to my expectations”

Positives , service very good , prawn cocktail excellent , negative the sea food chowder was more like vegetable soup with fish , very disappointing, no flavour of fish , would rate it as worst one I ever have had , Guinness bread was lovely . Place was very clean
