We wisely chose the Vaughan Lodge Hotel to stay our first night in Ireland, after flying into Shannon. it is an easy trip from the airport to Lahinch - the roads wide and well marked - a rarity in Ireland and a good way to get used to driving on the wrong side of the road.

We just completed a 9-day vacation in Ireland (our first trip) and the highlight by far was Lahinch and the Vaughan Lodge. No one in our party of 7 wanted to leave when it was time to go. The attentiveness of the staff, and Michael Vaughan in particular, was above and beyond what we could have imagined or hoped for.... more

My hat's off to the Vaughan Lodge! I was so impressed with the facility and how new and modern that is was. They were also extremely helpful and nice. I would stay there again without thinking twice. If you have a need to be in Lahinch, don't think about anywhere else. more

Staff were wonderfully helpful and allowed us a late check-out as we wanted to go... more
