Pros +
- The location was great and the staff was wonderful. Easy walking distance to many restaurants and pubs in the town, and also to the beach.
- Lovely old hotel in perfect location for exploring Lahinch. It's family run and it was a pleasure chatting with the owner. A perfect host! Basic room with everything I needed and a great shower as well. The breakfast was delicious, too. Reasonable rates. I will return.
- Great breakfast with good service and a nice view of the town. Clean, updated showers. Great comfortable beds.
Cons -
- It was quite old and needs updating. The rooms were clean and everything was neat. No coffee/tea service in the room. Great breakfast was included, but dinner price was very high.
- Road noise was a little loud but not the hotel's fault. Also the town of Lahinch could put a better crosswalk near there but that is also not the hotel's fault...all in all a great place to stay and Lahinch is such a wonderful little town.
- Street noise.

Location. Except our room was on the front, so traffic noise was a small issue. We go to bed early, so noticed the noise. But we sleep soundly, once asleep.
Street noise.
We were created by the owner most nicely. The Hotel and its facilities were absolutely spotless and super clean. It is the perfect location, a few minutes by car to the Cliffs and a few minutes walking distance to restaurants and pubs. The price was also in a good range. We would go back anytime.
Convenient location and friendly staff. They offer a very nice breakfast. The rooms are dated and don’t look like they have been updated since opening but the beds were comfortable and it was clean and quiet.
Cozy/comfy room, friendly staff, great location and excellent breakfast.
I stayed here for the Lahinch trad fest. The location was perfect, a few minutes walk from the town centre and beach. Breakfast was very good - full irish, eggs or even fish and lovely brown bread The owner was welcoming and friendly and the waiting staff were lovely. Rooms were very clean and the beds were comfy.I would def recommend and will be back next year.
Only improvements i would suggest would be to make offer some fruit, and real coffee instead of Nescafe, with breakfast. However there's a lovely coffee shop across the road.
This is a lovely family run hotel in an excellent location in Lahinch with free parking, a really good breakfast and very friendly, helpful and welcoming staff. The room was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed.
No complaints.
Location was perfect.2 minutes walk to the town and beach

Stayed two nights with a friend in that sundrench week in September. Location of accommodation is super minutes from beach and shops. This place is old and quaint but clean and comfortable. Breakfast cooked to order and will accommodate any dietary request.Owner very informative.To walk along the beach and promenade is heavenly day and night. Visit the beautiful crepe cafe for healthy eating options. Visit Loop Head and above all The Bridge of Ross this is like the Giants Causeway and spectacular .The 4D movie in The Cliffs of Moher museum is a must. All around Clare The caves in Alewee and Doolin are brilliant but The Bridge of Ross. Is spectacular and not promoted enough.Go you won't be disappointed.Would stay here again no bother.
The noise of the traffic outside was constant but we were gone all day touring and no traffic late in the evening.
Exceeded expectations in every way! Family owned, excellent location. They had a table set up for us in the morning and we enjoyed a delicious breakfast! Would absolutely stay here again.
There was a good selection for breakfast, and nothing was too much trouble for the staff. The location was no more than a two minute walk to town.
A small minus was the traffic noise to the front of the hotel, Which, in fairness, eased off not too late into the night.
The cosy, family run vibe and fresh, made to order breakfast :) and short walk to the village centre

Our room was spacious and clean, and the breakfast was good. We received a warm welcome upon arrival, complete with handy tips on what to do in the evening. Parking spots are available for guests. The location is absolutely fantastic—just a couple of minutes' walk to downtown, with its pubs and the beautiful beach. The beach is stunning, and the town itself is great. We wanted to extend our stay, but unfortunately, the hotel was fully booked for the following night.
The hotel is a bit outdated, but it has its own charm.
The perfect location for the Golf Club and beach and some nice restaurants. Ennistymon is also in close proximity
Breakfast serviced by very competent and friendly staff
