    We had such a lovely time at The Shandon Hotel. We were upgraded to a seaview room on arrival, which was such a thoughtful surprise — and honestly, the view was incredible. Looking out over the water every morning was the perfect way to start the day.The staff were all so welcoming and friendly, really went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. You can tell they genuinely care about guests having a good experience.The food was fantastic too — fresh, tasty, and plenty of choice whether you’re after something casual or a bit more special. Can’t recommend The Shandon enough for a relaxing break in a beautiful part of Donegal. Thanks again to the whole team — we’ll definitely be back!

    Lovely location near to a beautiful beach. Room was reasonable, not luxurious, but with all necessary re facilities. The bed was rather small and the duvet was too heavy. The staff in the restaurant were rather slow and the food was pretty poor with a small menu to choose from. Considering the hotel is right next to the sea, there was very little seafood on the menu.

    8TimothyPosted on: 4-10-2025

    Comfortable well run hotel with friendly staff. Good indoor pool.

    9StevenPosted on: 4-7-2025

    Very Relaxing just what I needed destress enjoyed it the Staff was so lovely and friendly having the opportunity to to unwind and soak up in the sunshine the Spa was amazing just perfect

    7KellyPosted on: 3-24-2025

    Room was big and spacious. Plenty of parking. Great views from the room. Close to the beach

    Room was too far from the internet and so connection was poor. Kids meals in restaurant were not as described

    10PatrickPosted on: 3-5-2025

    The hotel is located very close to a beautiful beach. The food in the bar is fabulous. Very quick service and beautifully presented. All staff were friendly and helpful.

    The spa (which is separate from the hotel but advertised as one) is very expensive and not value for money. The pool in the hotel is included in the price and just as good.

    4AnnettePosted on: 2-19-2025

    Staff were friendly and polite. Spa was excellent, massage from Rita.

    Food was of a very poor standard in the bar. The restaurant was not open even though they told us hotel was full for valentines and half term week. There was insufficient seating in the main foyer area and it was freezing cold. There was a burst pipe which was outside of their control (water off for more than 5 hours, no shower no toilet) but it was still frustrating and no offer of recompense. We didn’t ask as that was not the point and it only added to the negative experience

    Amazing views and location over looking marble Hill beach

    Table service in the restaurant was a little slow and not very attentive even when not busy. But still enjoyed the food.
