Fodor's Review:
Built for Sir Augustine Fitzgerald, this enchanting, 18th-century Italianate-style lodge sits amid 15 private acres on an exhilarating, "Wuthering Heights"-like windswept cliff-top that's a three-minute drive from Lahinch. It's a world away from the bustling seaside resort -- a peaceful haven, where you are made to feel like you're a guest in a privately owned country house. The decor is most alluring, with period velvet sofas, marble fireplaces, and gilt-framed paintings. Upstairs, brocade curtains and Oriental rugs complement the guest rooms' Georgian and Victorian polished-mahogany antiques. Some rooms have open fires, some have free-standing cast-iron bathtubs, six have stunning sea views, and two overlook the pretty, sheltered garden. Once you settle in, enjoy a drink at the "honesty bar" in the elegant drawing room (help yourself, and write it down), one of many touches that make the place so relaxing. In bad weather, curl up with a book in the peaceful library on the lower floor. Guests are given the run of the kitchen should they need to rustle up a snack in the night. The cozy dining room (guests only) serves an imaginative four-course dinner (EUR 50) of contemporary cuisine. The real dessert is the vista from the veranda over Lahinch Bay.
