I had been looking for a shelter for the nights around hurricane Ophelia hitting the Irish coasts. Although John and Mairine had to prepare their house for the storm, I got a warm welcome and found a safe place to stay. When the storm, which luckily had been much lighter than expected, had passed I enjoyed some very nice days around Lahinch. I really didn't expect to get food at John's place, but in the night after the storm, I got invited to eat with the family.
Long story short, I only can warmly recommend to stay with John and Mairine!
