Lahinch Golf & Leisure - Lahinch, Ireland 

Well, it hard to believe its the same hotel judging by the other reviews, but I've stayed twice so far this year, and would go back for more! Both stays were for two nights with an evening meal. First stay in February, my husband and I had a large spotlessly clean room, own immaculate bathroom, and living room/kitchenette. Our children (8&12) had their own large room and bathroom. The kitchen had a good size sink, fridge with a small amount of freezer space, plates, bowls, knives, forks etc. Extractor fan (if you're staying for a week and can't eat out all the time, bring a george foreman!) and lots of counter space. Huge amount of space overall. If I had known the accommodation was going to be as good, I would've stayed longer. Food on the first stay was just alright, but having just come back from our second trip, it has improved 100%, more in keeping with a 4 star hotel. Location was right in the town centre, couldn't be better. Lots of car parking space. Not once did I hear any noise from outside, or from any of the other rooms. The pool was a little on the small side, but not overcrowded. And I will never forget relaxing in the warm outdoor hot tub, the cold atlantic mist falling on my face and the seagulls whirling overhead. All the while being able to see the kids inside in the pool. The gym seemed to be really well equiped too. We never had issues with the staff, all were well mannered. We didn't pay too much either, as we got good deals on both occasions.I'll be back again as soon as the credit card allows!
