A little history of Moher Cottage
On the Wild Atlantic Way
Moher Cottage sits right on the Wild Atlantic Way, beside the Cliffs of Moher. Our family farm has welcomed visitors to this dramatic landscape for generations—first as a working farm and local pub and then as the award-winning coffee shop and gift store you see today.
From our doorstep, you are 2 minutes drive to the Cliffs of Moher, a stroll to explore the ancient holy St. Brigid’s Well, discover hidden galleries, and experience the authentic warmth of North Clare hospitality that makes this corner of Ireland truly special.
Things To Do in Clare
Visit the Cliffs of Moher

Feed the animals at Moher Hill Open Farm
Right beside us, this award-winning family-run petting farm offers hands-on animal encounters, outdoor trails, a vibrant play area, and stunning views over Liscannor Bay. Perfect for families and a lovely way to spend an afternoon.
Discover Local Galleries
