The Lodge was built in 2005 by Michael and Maria Vaughan. This is a seasonal business which operates generally from Easter to October. The hotel has 30 rooms and is designed and managed to a four star international hotel standard. The style of the hotel is modern, and we like to be as informal as possible while maintaining high levels of service and hotel keeping. Many of our guests are golfers who enjoy the rugged links terrain at Lahinch and return often to play. We also are very close to the wonderfaul landscape of the Burren and The Cliffs of Moher as well as the beach and surf at Lahinch. The Wild Atlantic Way is at our doorstep and we are delighted to assist travellers with their sightseeing plans. Good food is always a staple at the hotel, with delicious breakfasts prepared individually each morning, and sumptous evening dinners five evenings a week. OUR FOOD STORY The food at VL Restaurant can be categorised as fine dining in the modern sense. The preferences of our guests are foremost in the selection of dishes. Our meats are sourced away from Lahinch as the local farming pattern is not given to finishing and fattening, which is performed better on lusher pastures in the Midlands of Ireland. Ireland is a small Island so really, all food is Local!
