Lahinch

Obrieski

Group of us considering a few days break at the end of January and Lehinch is one of the possibilities. Could anyone tell me if it's good down there at this time of year? Would there be much surfing or that going on?

There's a good crowd of us planning on going, all in our early 20's so obviously we'd be looking for good nightlife etc too!

Any advice or tips are welcome!

Mr. G

Surfing goes on in Lahinch all year round.

Greens and O'Connor's may have stuff on, I'm not sure.

If you're looking for good pub grub I would definitely recommend Danny Macs.

Also, Lahnich would be better in the summer time as the sea would be a bit warmer, but waves would be fine. Check before hand in terms of swells etc.

Hi nochee
I've been going to Clare for a while now on and off and have been both surfing and rock climbing. I've only gone rock climbing once but was good fun..fab location. I've gone for surf lessons with two surf schools one of which I would recommend, Bens Surf School.
I've stayed in the Lahinch golf and leisure centre (think thats the name of it but it's the only one with a pool), it was really nice with reasonable rates. I've heard good things about Lahinch Lodge which is just next door to hotel..cheaper if on a budget.
Hope this helps.

Hi Nochee,
Sorry meant Lahinch golf and leisure Hotel but I'm sure you guessed that. By the way the rock climbing was with the same surf school I recommended if you decide to go that direction.

The Siding B&B is a lovely spot, walking distance from Lahinch and slightly off the main road so quiet too. http://www.thesiding.ie/

Hey!

Just wondering if anyone could recommend a holiday home, the bigger the better! There's about 20-25 of us hoping to head there in February so if we could get a least one big house and maybe the rest in hostels, it'd be great.

Thanks!

A few houses together would be the right job for a group that size. Plenty of rentable holiday homes available in Feb. I reckon.

Or maybe a big dorm in one of the Hostels?

Hi,

Thanks for the replies. I had thought about a hostel and did contact two but would just prefer at least one house and even the rest in a hostel. I'm just finding it hard finding a large house (most seem to be 3 bed) and I'm not sure about location so trying to get a few in a row...I'm not 100%

Try looking at houses in Liscannor too , it's only a 5 min drive from Lahinch.

Oh great, thanks so much. I'll definitely look into that.
