Berry Lodge

Amongst the scattered modern holiday cottages surrounding the village of Miltown Malbay, a popular Irish holiday destination; you find a traditional Irish farmhouse that is now a welcoming guesthouse, restaurant, and cookery school operated by Rita Meade. Rita offers cookery courses for adults, teenagers, and children. The heart of the house is the country kitchen with its large central island designed for cooking classes. There are comfortable chairs in the sitting room with its old country dresser. The adjacent dining room has been extended with a sunny conservatory. Dinner has four to five choices in each of the three courses. The country theme is continued in the bedrooms with their pine furniture and old beds topped with quilts. All bedrooms have televisions and compact shower rooms and three rooms have a double and a single bed. There is a small ground-floor double-bedded room for those who have difficulty with stairs. The nearby Cliffs of Moher are a great attraction but you can use Berry Lodge as a base for visiting Bunratty Folk Park, Craggaunowen Megalithic Centre, the Aran Islands, exploring The Burren, and sailing to Scattery Island.
