If you are fortunate enough to get the chance to book a room at John's house, take it! John and his wife are so wonderful and welcoming! They provide breakfast each morning and put so much care and thought into make sure you have everything you need. John provided me with tips about the best restaurants in Lahinch and helped me figure out the shuttle to the Cliffs of Moher for my adventure (I didn't have a car and still managed to accomplish everything I wanted to on my visit!). He even offered to pick me up if I got stuck in Doolin that evening. The room is perfect and the view is GORGEOUS. Lahinch itself is my new favorite town, I never wanted to leave. John's house is only a short walk up the hill from town and the beach. I highly recommend booking with John -- I know I will if I'm ever in the area again!
