The Wild Atlantic Lodge in Ballyvaughan has reopened, much to the joy of locals who were eager to see activity return to the cherished business

Shauna Browne and Daniel Daly, the new managers of the Wild Atlantic Lodge in Ballyvaughan.
A North Clare hotel and restaurant has re-opened under new management after being closed to the public for three years, bringing with it a wave of goodwill from locals looking to chip in to ensure the owners have all the help they need to get the doors open again.
The re-opening of the Wild Atlantic Lodge on Ballyvaughan’s Main Street is the latest part of the village’s revitalisation. In recent months, more and more businesses have reopened or opened for the first time in the village, breathing much-needed life into the rural Clare spot.
