    hi,

    Will you have a car? What are you interested in? All 3 places have their own virtues, Lahinch is the biggest town, lots of people around, Spanish Point probably has the nicest beach, hotel, Doolin has some of the best pubs. They are all great spots for surfing as well

    Hey

    We will drive down with our bikes.......

    plan is to do lots of walking (trails..) and cycling....during the day and then at night we want a place to sit and relax in pubs and resturants. We won't be swimming or sunbathing as it will be freezing but with the car during the day we can also do all the smaller towns and sites!

    Trying to book a house now ..

    Thanks

    In that case so I'd go for Doolin I think.

    +1 for Doolin :)

    There should be a nice atmosphere in the pubs in Doolin for Paddy's weekend.

    There are several developements of holiday homes in Doolin but some are miles away from the action. The best located and most central are The Tir Gan Ean holiday homes at the rear of the Tir Gan Ean Hotel. There is another group of Houses between Hotel Doolin and Tir Gan Ean Hotel but I cannot think of the name of the developement. Roadford House and Cullinans are the best restaurants but dont know if they will be reopening for St Patricks weekend. Check their websites.All the pubs do food.
