The Berry Lodge was the perfect setting for our family gathering this summer. Spacious with 5 en-suite rooms (plus a smaller unadvertised extra room for that additional guest), the lodge is located within easy walking distance of the water, very close to Spanish point and it’s amazing surf-ready beach, easy access to supply shopping nearby Milltown Malbay, and great view of the ocean and pastoral landscape, it is centrally located on the coast of Clare for up and down county ramblings. As a former cooking school it has a professional kitchen that will allow the production of large group meals if that’s your thing, or fine dining can be found at the Armada hotel or Bellebridge inn, with several other options including takeout nearby. Our family and guests were very impressed with the lodge and we came to consider it our home base as we visited the Burren, Lehinch, Loop Head, the Cliffs of Moher, Ennistymon, Caherconnell, the Aran islands and numerous other small excursions. David was amazing and responsive to the little things and questions that come up, and helped arrange dining options and bike rentals. The perfect getaway!
