26/05/2026: A very sweet little hotel, beautifully decorated and incredibly relaxing and cozy. It felt very homely, and the owners were exceptionally kind and welcoming. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back.

25/05/2026: Lovely hotel, very good value, decor is full of old world charm. The room was very clean. Breakfast in the conservatory was delicious. Staff were very welcoming. Would 100% recommend.

28/07/2026: Good coffee and dangerously addictive pastries!

05/07/2026: Only place to get pastries, fresh bread and coffee. Kouign-amann is incredible.

24/10/2025: This is the place to stay when visiting Lahinch. Less than a 5-minute walk to both the town and Lahinch GC. Onsite restaurant is excellent for both breakfast and dinner, and the staff is marvelous.

07/10/2025: Always a Joy to Visit, The Welcome is Warm , Friendly and Helpful. The Staff are Exceptional

28/06/2026: Cool vibe with good food options of pizza snd small South American/mexican menu. Service was pleasant and friendly. It’s a rustic outside area but personally felt it could do with a bit of a clean especially the bathrooms. Drinks are pricey but would return. Nice setting by the river

13/06/2026: Delicious pizza and friendly atmosphere

04/07/2026: I found the Hedgehog Restaurant first class. I went there on 26th June with some family relations. We were graciously received by the owner and his wife. Then the menu and service were excellent in a homely atmosphere. When the food arrived it was a generous portion and delicious. I highly recommend this place to anyone travelling in Co. Clare.

30/06/2026: had a late sunday lunch starter, main and dessert were delish daily special was odd - fish skewer but a bit overwhelmed by chorizo - would have been better with just scampi and scallops

06/07/2026: We can only partially understand the many positive reviews. The food was generally okay, but rather expensive for what was offered. The coffee, however, was good. The service seemed a bit overwhelmed at times. What particularly struck us as negative, though, were the dirty plates and glasses – that's a complete no-go for us. In addition, there was mold on the walls and the premises generally looked unkempt and somewhat shabby. Overall, we unfortunately couldn't share the positive impression expressed by many other reviews.

06/07/2026: We went there because it had such good reviews. The service was good. We arrived and a table was prepared for six of us very quickly. The room seemed cozy at first glance, but it was actually quite cluttered. Unfortunately, there was mold on the walls. The pizza was okay... the crust was very thin. The Margherita was very bland. Unfortunately, both the glasses and the sharing plates weren't clean. That was really unacceptable. We won't be coming back.

27/05/2026: Very lovely spot especially out doors in our rare sun splash.and music wafting out from inside.a good pint as well.

09/05/2026: A fantastic, authentic Irish pub with excellent home-style cooking of both quality and quantity. Please don't change a thing. Thank you for this wonderful experience.

24/07/2026: Amazing food and the staff were fantastic. Highly recommend this place.

12/07/2026: Good grub in a nice pub in a lovely village. Great atmosphere.

01/07/2026: We were staying at the local marina in our motorhome and treated ourselves to breakfast here. The builders breakfast was excellent and included orange juice and tea! Friendly table service and we were not hurried. Highly recommended.

30/06/2026: Excellent breakfast until 11 a.m., followed by lunch that's just as good. No dinner served. The beer is some of the best, the staff are all very friendly, as are the guests. The atmosphere is inviting. There's also a beer garden. Occasionally, there's live music, and the prices are unbeatable. Highly recommended!

27/06/2026: Every time I am here it the food is always lovely, the staff is always wonderful and nice. I am always shocked that it isn't always full to the brim with customers for the breakfast. I don't know why it gets over looked, but it makes it a lovely quiet place for breakfast with the wife on a Saturday.
