This was the first place we stayed when we got to Ireland. Mary not only was gracious and helpful with our online reservations, but she and Paddy gave us help by phone to find the right bus to get there from Shannon Airport. The bus driver knew just where to drop us off at the mention of her name. The tea was wonderful, as well as the fire in the hearth, and our room was delightful. Mornings begin with the view of the lush fields across the road, and birdsong and braying of a distant donkey and cattle mooing here and there. A friendly dog and a Connemara Pony also live on the grounds, and the grounds are lushly flowered in a wild way. This lodge is in walking distance to Murphy's Pub in one direction and the Cliffs of Moher in the other. Breakfasts were a dream, even for those of us on limited diets! Mary and Paddy's kindness and hospitality set a high standard for the rest of our stay in Ireland. They even helped us find our way and lodging at our next stop, Inishere. We stayed with them 2 days.

Last summer my fiancé and I traveled Ireland and stayed in a different B&B, in a different city every night and this was the only one that fit everything I thought a B&B should be. We arrived later then expect and Mary was still up waiting on us. She was very understanding, about the late arrival and she even offered to make us tea. I’m not for sure why, but she gave us a larger room with no additional charge. The room was clean and had an amazing view of the surrounding country side. The breakfast was amazing as well. They had a wide selection which included basics such as cereal, fruit, and yogurt, as well as, a menu that included omelets, pancakes, and a traditional Irish breakfast. I’m sure if you asked they would cook anything you wanted to make you happy because they are the nicest people ever. When I return to Ireland I intend on spending more than just one night at the Moher Lodge.

We have stayed at Moher Lodge twice before, once 2002 and again in 2004. We are going back next month, May of 2007, and staying at Moher Lodge for the entire stay. I have never felt more welcomed. Mary Considine is the kindest and most gracious lady in Ireland.

If you want to see the Ciffs of Moher or go to Doolin don't miss staying at Mary's Moher Lodge.

We stayed at Moher Lodge on March 30th and 31st and it was a wonderful experience from the second we arrived. Mary Considine greeted us with tea and snacks the moment we arrived, served in a beautiful immaculate front room with a homely turf fire and amazing views of Liscannor Bay.

Breakfasts were delicious, cooked to order, served by Mary, often helped by her husband Patsy.

This was the end of a three week trip for us and by far the most pleasant of any stops.
