I arrived on my own just before the Siberian snow storm hit, which brought with it red weather warnings and unprecedented amounts of snow. Lahinch went into shutdown and my surfing ambitions were thwarted by a completely flat Atlantic.
John and Mairin really stepped up, however, and went out of their way to make sure that my stay was memorable, albeit for reasons different to what I initially hoped for. Most commendable was they way that they welcomed me over the family threshold, making sure I was fed three times a day in light of the Lahinch shutdown. This was B&B turned B&B&L&D, with great company as well. These are hosts who genuinely care about their guests.
Aside from that, everything was as described and the location is perfect for waking up and checking the surf from the window...when it's there. I will be back!
