We chose this hotel, totally at random and we are so glad we did. It must be Donegal’s best kept secret! The location on the beach was amazing - we had fantastic weather, but we presume in bad weather, the sea views would be very dramatic too. As far as the hotel itself, it is guest-only restaurant. Whilst eating there for two breakfasts and two dinners, we became very aware of how many fellow-guests were return people.

Guest reviews
Sandhouse Hotel averages 4.4 out of 5 across 750 reviews. A selection, quoted as written:
I stayed here for two nights. Overall it was terrific. Our room was gorgeous with a lovely sitting room overlooking the huge beach outside. The hotel is lovely with lots of space to sit and socialise. There's a bar and restaurant. Food was good and reasonably priced. The staff were all lovely and working very hard. It's not cheap to stay here but I think it was worth it and I would go back again.
Marine therapies was just brilliant, great value and best massage I've ever had! Noreen was fantastic and we had a great time. Hotel is beautiful too
