Detailed Reviews
We are just back from a thoroughly enjoyable 3-night stay at Buttermilk Lodge.
We were warmly greeted by Cathriona on arrival. We were offered teas/coffees and also homemade cake, which went down a treat in the cosy sitting room.
The bedrooms are spotlessly clean, with super comfy beds and powerful hot showers.
Breakfast selections are numerous and portions will fill you up for the day! Nothing was any trouble.
Location is ten minute walk to town where there are plenty of restaurant options.
Cathriona went above and beyond with making us feel welcome. She was so helpful booking dinner in restaurants and also ferry tickets to Inisbofin for us.
We would love to return to Buttermilk Lodge if we visit Clifden again.

Staying at Buttermilk was a great experience. The hosts have thought of everything. There is even a small box of sewing notions in the room for small repairs needed along a journey. The location seems away from town but there’s a shorter path than it appears so the walk is about 5 minutes. I’m glad we were there because it is so quiet. The bed was extremely comfortable and it was easy to get a good night’s sleep. The owners cook up and serve with care a great Irish breakfast and daily specials are available too. I highly recommend this guest house when staying in the Clifden area.

Very clean and well stocked, roomy, efficiency apartment for our four night stay in Clifden. Comfy bed, lots of storage, thoughtfully appointed, and a pleasant walk to town. We really appreciated the homemade breads, butter, juice and milk kindly provided for our first morning in Clifden, and knowing there was a washer/dryer was so helpful in planning our trip.

Despite the various Covid restrictions & with pubs & restaurants still closed for indoor dining we went to Clifden & stayed in Buttermilk Lodge, it was a promised a 5 minute walk from the centre of town.the owners & staff were wonderfully friendly & helpful.
The breakfasts freshly cooked to perfection , & the homemade bread was not to be missed.
Our room was spacious, the bed very comfortable & the bathroom spotlessly clean , the views from the bedroom of the distant hills were spectacular .
A wonderful me.orable visit to the town & to this b&b,we will be back & have recommended it to our friends.

Delightful family run B&B. You felt like staying in someone's home, very comfortable, with the little things like LOTS of places to recharge all our phones etc.
As good a breakfast as I have had. Quiet!!
The lodge is an easy 10 minute walk from town and restaurants etc. Our bus driver from Galway dropped us off at the lodge. It is up hill if coming from town with luggage, so check with owners if you need a pickup in town.
LOVED this place.

We had a lovely one-night stay here as part of our bike trip through Western Ireland. The bed and breakfast is quaint and cozy, and it's a short walk away from the Clifden town center. Our room was clean and comfortable with a more recently renovated bathroom. We did notice that the toilet seat was broken but it didn't bother us much. We appreciated all of the helpful info binders provided in our room which allowed us to go on a wonderful bike route that we wouldn't have known about otherwise. Our breakfast the next morning was delicious. I particularly loved my pancakes, and my husband his smoked salmon and eggs. Caitriona was such a great hostess!

We had a great 3 nights in Clifden Town 5 minutes walk. Lovely room and breakfast was superb with a great choice. We were particularly grateful for being able to hand over some soaked backpacks and clothes for complimentary drying. Highly recommended and deservedly so.

We had a lovely stay at Buttermilk Lodge. A comfortable room and bathroom which had all we needed. I am not a fan of overhead showers bit that is personal. The breakfast was also very good, a selection of fruits, juices and home made breads and scones and a great variety of cooked items. 5 minutes walk to the town centre.

I stayed two nights at the Buttermilk Lodge while on a tour of Ireland. The room was wonderful, large bed and my own private bathroom. The hosts were very kind, and the breakfasts in the morning were very nice. There was a bunch of options to chose from the menu as well as a small buffet with fruits, yogurt, pastries. It was a bit of a walk to town, about 5-10 minutes. Getting to town was easy as it was down hill, but the walk back up from town was a bit steep, though no problem at all. If I find myself in Clifden again, I will gladly return to the Buttermilk Lodge!

Hello Eileen, there are 2 bike hire shops in Clifden, Mannions Bike Hire and All things Connemara both have push bikes and electric bikes, There are 4 horse riding centres Cleggan Riding Centre, Errislannon Manor, The Point and Diamonds of Renvyle if you are using public transport then Cleggan is the best as the Citylink Bus Service connects from Clifden to Cleggan, 3 times a day. Yes if you need to be in Shannon in the morning, its best to stay in Galway the night before.Clifden to Galway takes 1.5 - 2 hours by bus.
