We happened upon this establishment under stressful circumstances. Traveling through the Burren was not very easy, even as New Yorkers having traversed city traffic and cabbies! Our rental car tire wound up getting a flat and the first turn off the roadway happened to be Karen's B&B, "Rusheen Lodge." We popped the trunk and to our chagrin, found no spare... More

Spent a night at the Rusheen lodge exploring the cliffs of Moher and enjoying a night in the small town of Ballyvaughan. Karen is a great host and her dad John could not have been nicer. If you are planning to visit Galway bay, do yourself a favor and stay at one of the best kept secrets in Ireland. More

The Rusheen Lodge was a terrific treat on our journey through Ireland. Spent one night in the Burren Suite on our way to the Cliffs of Moher. Karen is a wonderful host and cooks a delicious breakfast. The room was large enough for four adults and well appointed. Everything we could ask for to feel at home on the road. More

This place totally surpassed our expectations... First of all Karen the owner was so nice and prompt already when I was organizing this trip (for about 15 of us). We wouldn't all fit so she arranged for part of us to stay in a lovely place just across the lawn and gave us a suite for the price of a... More

We had a lovely stay at Rusheen Lodge--the room was perfect and Karen was absolutely delightful. I would definitely stay again and highly recommend! Karen fixed us a marvelous breakfast and helped us with directions to our next stop. The beds were comfortable and we had everything we needed to make our stay perfect. We hope to return to Rusheen... More

My wife and I did a traveling trip around the northern half of Ireland and stayed in ten different places, including one night in Rusheen. We stayed in some excellent places but Rusheen was by far the best of the ten. The room was perfect; comfortable, well lit, undamaged, and very enjoyable. The place was beautiful inside and out. Breakfast... More

We spend a night here and it more than met our expectations. Our suite was large and very comfortable with views of the walled garden. Karen our host was quite gracious and prepared us a very nice breakfast. We did have a bit of trouble finding it. This was on our first night in Ireland, and we did not realize... More

We stayed in the Garden Suite, which is a lovely room on the ground floor. It had a separate sitting room that looked out into the garden. Very quiet room, very comfortable bed, friendly staff, and good breakfast. Overall very happy with our stay here. More

The owners are very warm and hospitable. The rooms are lovely and clean. The town is a great place to stop and catch your breath from site seeing overload. Near by are the Great Aillwee Caves discovered by the great grandfather of the current lodges owner. Lastly breakfast was yummy and filling. A definite hit. If you find yourself at... More

We strongly recommend this lovely lodge in north county clare. It is extremely comfortable and cozy, with many nice touches in a sweet garden setting. Very conveniently located. The staff couldn't be nicer and are ready to help with any sort of advice or extra help that you may need. Also, the lodge is situated adjacent to one of the... More
