About Us
We're a family business.
Our journey to Coastal Way Lodge began thousands of miles away in Vancouver, Canada. That’s where Emily, a Vancouver native, met Brian, and where we first started dreaming of a life by the sea and a slower pace. After years in the corporate world, we knew it was time to trade the office for our true passion: creating a soulful boutique retreat in the West of Ireland.
We fell in love with Liscannor instantly—its community, its landscapes, and its spirit. Now back in Ireland raising our three young children, this lodge has become a true family labor of love.
Slow down and soak it in.
At Coastal Way Lodge, we believe the best way to experience the West of Ireland is to stop rushing and start breathing it in. We’ve blended authentic Irish hospitality with the modern comforts you crave, creating a sanctuary where you can truly kick off your boots and unwind.
We’re a place for making memories, and that includes the whole family—dogs are always welcome to join the adventure at no extra cost. Whether you’re watching the sunset from the cliffs or curling up in our cinema room, we invite you to slow down, stay a while, and let the magic of Liscannor sink in.

What Our Guests Are Saying About Their Stay
"We were so lucky to find this newly opened gem! You can really tell it’s a family-run business. The hospitality felt genuine and warm from the moment we checked in. The location is unbeatable if you're touring the coast. We were at the Cliffs of Moher in minutes and hit the Burren right after breakfast. It’s the perfect base for exploring Clare."
" I think we may have been one of the first guests here. The rooms have clearly just been renovated and feel so fresh and modern. The location is perfect. We walked to the local pubs in the evening, where there was live music. The local people were so friendly there. The hosts Brian & Emily were so friendly and really looked after us. Best of luck to Brian & Emily on your new adventure."
" Such a lovely, friendly atmosphere! Since they’ve just recently opened, everything feels brand new and spotless, and the new owners Brian & Emily really made the trip for us. We were looking for something that wasn't a typical hotel expereince and this was it. If you’re looking for a welcoming, modern place to stay right in the heart of the action, this is it."
