My wife and I stayed with two friends for a Saturday night in the Vaughan Lodge. Our first impression of the hotel was the ample parking space. The hotel has 22 rooms but there seemed far more parking space than this. When we entered reception we received a friendly efficient welcome from the girl at the desk. My wife and... more

We stayed for 3 nights in order to play Lahinch and Doonbeg. It's close to Shannon and just up the road from the Lahinch golf course ( about 40 minutes from Doonbeg). But it's a good place to stay even if you're not golfing---close to the Cliffs of Moher and the Burren. Good food, good wine selection, and a friendly... more

Four of us from San Francisco traveled to Ireland in September 2009 to play 11 golf courses in 11 days. All four of us were unanimous that we were extremely fortunate to have stayed at the Vaughan Lodge in Lahinch. Swing, our golf travel consultant, found this little gem for us. I wish we could have stayed for three or... more

Just back from a 2 night stay in Vaughan's Lodge hotel and its fantastic. Location is excellent, just 3 minute walk to the town/beach (and that was with my partner on crutches!!!) Although we didnt eat in the Restaurant, it was packed both nights (which is always a good sign) and the menu looked great. We had amazing weather while... more

Just back from a two night stay in Vaughan Lodge. The bedroom was very comfortable with the usual facilities. The service and friendliness of the staff is what makes this hotel stand out.

The staff were very friendly. The high light of the hotel is the restaurant. It is top class so should def book a... more

Where to begin. All eight in our family could not have agreed more, that in the two weeks of traveling in Europe this was by far the best of our journey. The staff & service was incredible, the breakfast was tremendous,(not to mention they went above & beyond for my wife & mother who both needed Gluten-Free options), & the... more

Stayed here for 2 nights while playing golf at Lahinch and Ballybunion. Owners were friendly and helpful. Rooms were clean and spacious. Location was close enough to town to walk into Lahinch. If you are in Lahince to play golf, the Vaughn Lodge would be an excellent choice. more
