Buttermilk lodge is a B&B, with a Michelin recommendation(!). There is even a chocolate on your pillow! Super-clean! Very cosy! Beautiful bathroom with thick lovely towels! They breed Connemara ponnies. Beautiful area! Perfect for kids! 5-10 minutes walk from the center of Clifden. More

This was the best breakfast of my week in Ireland. On the other hand, the room was tiny, the shower was cold and the reception was frosty. More

My friends and I spent 3 nights at the Buttermilk Lodge. The rooms are very nice, the breakfast is great and it's a very short drive into Clifden. Patrick took us to his farm to meet his Connemara ponies. Cathorina was very efficient, but not what you'd call friendly - it was the only B&B we stayed in where Irish... More

Buttermilk Lodge is a lovely B&B 5 mins walk from Clifden Town Center. If you are visiting Clifden and haven't done so already, make sure to take a nice stroll up the Sky Rd. It has a lovely theme of dairy cows running through the restaurant which are great and make the dinning area very homey. The food was excellent... More

I stayed in the Buttermilk lodge during a trip around Ireland and found it to be one of the best out of all the places we stayed. The location is ideal, just a short walk from the town centre. Our room was huge with a great powerful shower in the ensuite. Our host in the B&B had loads of information... More
