A gem in Lahinch!
How fortunate we were to have discovered this gem of a place in Lahinch, situated nearby the Cliffs of Moher and The Burren. We loved our stay at Vaughn Lodge, feeling warmly welcomed with all our needs taken care of by our hosts and staff from check in through our departure. Our room and amenities were lovely, the breakfast buffet ample and menu delicious, our dinner in was exceptional and we thoroughly enjoyed relaxing over cocktails in the beautifully appointed bar.

Spacious room for 3. Many room amenities, comfortable beds and luxurious bedding, breakfast was a cold buffet and ordered hot choices. View of ocean from property and very convenient to Cliffs of Moher. Restaurant is available for dinner and there are several other choices within walking distance. Staff was friendly and helpful.

Outstanding service before we even arrived. We had a flat & called the hotel to ask for suggestions for road assistance & Joann contacted a road service for us. We were back on our way in less than an hour! Food in the restaurant was also great! Everyone was very pleasant & helpful at the hotel. Top notch in all ways.
