Patrick & Cathriona
We are located just at the edge of Clifden, its a short walk to town but a quiet location, with private parking. Our breakfasts are famous, lots of delicious options to choose from, all freshly cooked to order. We cater for vegetarian/ gluten free/ dairy free diets etc. We breed Connemara Ponies and Sheep and our guests are welcome to visit them out on our farm which is a few miles away.
Patrick & Cathriona purchased this site in 1996 and building began that September. In January 1997 they returned from England (leaving the Construction and Hotel industry) and by July of that year (after a short break to get married in March) Buttermilk Lodge opened for business.
We are easy to find being on the N59 Westport Road , there is a short-cut down Canons Lane & Church Hill to the town centre. We are close to town but away from the noise .
