We've stayed here twice. It's within walking distance of Clifden's main street, but is in a quiet, scenic location. It has everything - Great rooms, breakfast, decor ( cow themed....), parking, wifi,etc. etc. But it's best feature is the welcome. It feels like you're a guest in someone's home as you have tea in the lounge and peruse Clifden's restaurant... More

If you enjoy staying in B&Bs, then you'll have difficulty finding better in that field. This place really is everything being done right... It's warm and inviting, welcomed with cake and coffee, the roomas are always warm, the staff unobtrusive and the place is immaculately clean... you're guaranteed a brilliant breakfast, plenty of options and the best pancakes you'll ever...

An easy walk to and from the lively small town of Clifden, with its many shops and music pubs. Quiet, clean and comfortable, with easy parking and generous, varied and tasty breakfasts. Peat fire in the lounge, along with complimentary tea/coffee and biscuits helped make it a pleasant place to sit. Warm welcome too - the owners have thought of... More

We had only one night here and would have loved to spend more time. On our many travels we appreciate extra attention to detail and care and Buttermilk Guest House is tops. We have found many B & Bs giving only basics and some less than that. I think all should at least have tissues, face washers and lovely towels,... More

Buttermilk is without a doubt in my mind one of the best places a person can stay while on a vacation to the west of Ireland. We spent two nights at this beautiful b and b in Clifden, and found the staff to be upstanding and most pleasant, the home to be spotless and very comfortable, and the breakfast to... More

Cathriona had lots of information about the area. Our room was comfortable and the shower was very good. The location of this b and b was perfect just a short walk to town. I would recommend Buttermilk lodge as a place to stay.

All the reviews of this guest house mention the great breakfast, and I have to agree. The cooked breakfast was plentiful and very tasty. The rooms are of the country-cottage style, which I like.The staff were extremely friendly and courteous. This guest house is well located, it really is only a 5 minute walk into the heart of the town... More

Brilliant B&B. Friendly and helpful with a wealth of information provided, tea on arrival. The rooms were clean, and the beds were comfortable. Breakfast was fantastic. Short walk into town center. Highly recommended.
