Burren Smokehouse
Review
Lisdoonvarna is one of Co. Clare’s liveliest towns and few places capture its energy quite like the award winning Burren Smokehouse. I was honoured to spend time with founders Birgitta and Peter Curtin, whose passion has turned this family-run business into a world-class operation. Their superb smoked salmon has graced the plates of actors, singers, politicians and even royalty, a testament to the quality crafted here in Lisdoonvarna. Visitors can simply drop into the smokehouse and their state of the art visitor centre, or elevate things with a fully hosted VIP experience; whichever you choose, you’re treated like a VIP. I can’t think of a better way to celebrate this wonderful fish than what the Burren Smokehouse achieves here every day. And if you can’t make it to Clare just yet, their excellent website allows you to bring a true taste of the Burren straight to your own table at home.

Nearby Accommodation
Ballinalacken Castle Country House Hotel
Ballinalacken Castle feels made for sweet romantic escapes. I’ve endorsed it before and it somehow keeps deepening its charm, year after year. With just 15 rooms and suites, including four superior four-poster sanctuaries, you’re in for a treat of crackling cosiness and considered style.
