“Great Stay” – May 2023

Wonderful stay, amazing breakfast and fantastic staff. They were very helpful, friendly and went out of their way to help us. The hotel has a very welcoming feel and the location is stunning. We will be back and would highly recommend you check it out for yourself.

“Great Hotel” – May 2023

This was our third visit to The Shoreline Hotel. The hotel is boutique style on the prime location of Donabate beach, with amazing see views, great beach and coastal walks. The hotel has recently been refurbished to a high standard and comfort. On this visit the new manager Gary Britton and team have raised the standards of the hotel restaurant with a new menu and great friendly and helpful service. We look forward to our next visit.

“Confirmation Booking – Afternoon Tea” – April 2023

We booked Afternoon Tea in the Bar for my daughters confirmation. There was 10 of us and ages ranged from 9-84 years. The afternoon tea was fantastic. So much choice of sweet treats and everything was so fresh. Quality ingredients used. The portion size was great there was plenty for everyone. I have had afternoon tea in some places that had very minimal choice and not enough of it. Not here. Its my second time eating Afternoon tea here and just felt I really needed to review this. The service was great. The girls couldn’t do enough for us and kept the tea flowing as well as checking our needs throughout the day, They even took some lovely photos of our group when we asked. Our waitresses were called Ellie and Alex. We will definitely return and would recommend Afternoon tea…

“Wonderful venue for celebrating with family” – May 2023

We celebrated our sons Confirmation at the Shoreline Hotel with four of his friends and their families. The room was so spacious and bright. The events manager Louise O’Reilly could not have more helpful, allowing us to decorate the room with balloons and bring sweet boxes for the children. The tables were set up so that each family was beside each other. Everyone was delighted with the menu, the food was delicious and the waiting staff were very efficient and so friendly. The menu was much better value compared to a couple of other hotels we priced and the staff were far more accommodating too. As the hotel is overlooking the beach, the kids could go down and play there and we got some gorgeous photos of them. It was the perfect location, the adults and children really enjoyed every minute. I would highly recommend the Shoreline for any event or celebration. We will definitely be back.

“Perfect stay in a beautiful area” – April 2023

Excellent stay. We went with our 9 month old. Reception, emails and calls excellent, check in experience. The restaurant stayed open for us to arrive. Food was great in evening and a lovely breakfast in the morning. Location is stunning. What a view. Hotel was clean. Excellent prices booking directly on their website. To the room service staff…. we were very impressed with Aidans elephant toy made from the towels in his cot. Overall it was all perfect. Thanks very much.

“Breakfast Visit” – April 2023

Myself and my daughter visited here for a coffee/hot chocolate and scone. Trish the waitress was super, could not have done more for us, and I mean that from service to efficiency and kindness toward us. Gary Britton the manager is super also taking any suggestions I have ever made on board. Getting a window seat in the Shoreline is an amazing experience with Lambay island in view, you could be anywhere. A short walk on the adjoining beach just set us up for the day.

“Lovely stay in hotel. Couldn’t praise the staff enough. Beautiful views and amazing food” – April 2023

We stayed there for one night. .mainly for the location beside the sea. Which was amazing
But what amazed me most was how helpful the staff were. From the check in staff to the bar staff. We travelled with my 1 and half year old girl and they bent over backwards to help make our stay easier.
Plus the food was amazing they had loads of choices on kids menu plus the breakfast that came out to her this morning was such a huge portion.
The plate at the top in picture was kid’s portion.
Now the bedroom decor is a little outdated. But don’t let that turn u off staying.
The rooms are clean, nice comfy beds good food and the staff make it a place u must stay and the sea views .
Will definitely go back to stay

“Christening” – April 2023

We had a lovely day on Sunday. The food was gorgeous and portions were really big…. Don’t think anyone cleared their plates 🤣 The staff and service was great as well. We really enjoyed it. We will definitely be coming back up for food another day. The food and service had definitely improved since the last time I ate there so hopefully this continues. Thanks for all your help. Maria
