Company information

Patrick & Cathriona purchased this site in 1996 and building began that September. In January 1997 they returned from England (leaving the Construction and Hotel industry) and by July of that year (after a short break to get married in March) Buttermilk Lodge opened for business. Initially it operated as a Guesthouse but in 2024 they changed to self catering apartments.
