The hotel is a little rugged on the outside but located perfectly beside the sea/beach. The room was clean and the view was gorgeous. The area itself is lovely. We got dinner in the restaurant. The food was mid. It took a while for our drinks to come. It’s acceptable but not outstanding. The biggest downside to the hotel was the bar service. Felt as if the bar men had no time, they weren’t very chatting but also in no great panic or rush to serve anyone leaving big lines waiting at the bar for drinks. No chat out of them. The hospitality wasn’t overly amazing. I’d go back for the view but the service could be better given the price.
Went there for an afternoon tea, we will for sure do it again or come in for dinner. Just one point that could be improved is the range of tea available. If I do something "special " like an afternoon tea the choice of tea I can get should not be standard.
The hotel is right on the beach, very nice views. The room was terrible, smelled of mold and the carpet had not been vacuumed. The breakfast was tasty and sufficient.
If you’re cool with rougher edges, it’s fine. Location is cool by beach. Bar area nice chill/family buzz. But walls of our room near bed had a lot of dings that easily could have been painted over for a cleaner look. Bathroom sink had no drain stopper and whole room scene was ‘ugh feeling’.
Second time staying at the shoreline in donabate and honestly it is outstanding. Food was absolutely gorgeous great deals on food 👌 Mary was honestly so helpful she made it that bit better. We're 100% booking for our wedding venue
