We have travelled for short breaks with family over the years from 2000, husband was recovering from a serious illness therefore hygiene and good quality food were a must and found this hotel exemplary. We have witnessed the hard work put in by the management upgrading facilities and adding to the complex whilst remaining customer facing and can see the... More

The hotel has the most amazing views from the large bedroom windows. That section at the top of Donegal is as picturesque as you will find anywhere. We had a nice relaxing stay here. Its very close to a really nice beach & although we didnt actually head out in the local town it looked like a nice place. My... More

I stayed at the hotel under a mid week special rate that was so reasonable I am perhaps a bit biased by it. I agree with the other reviewers that this hotel is not a four star hotel, but it is a nice hotel with good amenities, a helpful and professional staff, and a great location. The room was clean...

Had the pleasure of recently staying at the Shandon. It is a classic Irish country hotel with warmth and charm. The smell of burning peat from big fireplaces, combined with some great entertainment and a pint makes this hotel, and the nearby town of Dunfanaghy among the highlights of our tour of Ireland. The lounge/bar/restaurant was welcoming and the food... More

We have 5 children ranging from 23 to 9 years who have all enjoyed the excellent facilities over the years. Views are outstanding... More

I recently stayed in the Shandon Hotel located just outside Dunfanaghy. If I was asked to describe this hotel in 1 sentence it would be "A Wasted Opportunity" The hotel is located pearched up high overlooking breathhtaking views of rolling hills and the Atlantic ocean in a very picturesque and peaceful part of Donegal. That alas is where the positives... More
