Vaughan's Pub Kilfenora, Kilfenora, Co. Clare

A closer look

A place with character.

Vaughan's is a proper Kilfenora pub, the kind with music in it most nights, and the barn beside it turns that into a wedding venue without losing the character. Twenty one beds and in house catering mean the whole thing can happen on one site.

Kilfenora sits in the Burren, minutes from the Cliffs of Moher and Doolin, which gives guests plenty to do. All inclusive packages are available and prices start low.

Before you book

Worth asking.

Is the pub exclusively yours, or does it serve the village that night?
