Sandhouse Hotel & Marine Spa
No other Irish hotel has such an enviable location, on the beach where the white sand meets the foam-capped Atlantic waters. Sit and listen to the refreshing sea, surf the endless waves, or walk along the two-mile crescent of beach, this is Rossnowlagh, meaning "heavenly cove" in the Irish language, a place well named.
The Sandhouse has been the focal point of this heavenly cove for over 100 years, first as a fishing lodge in 1886, later a thatched pub by 1906, and since 1949 as hotel developed and run with utmost care by the Britton family and now by Paul Diver and staff. With a mansard-style façade, this hotel is not a typical beach lodging, but a classy 4-star manor house, with log fireplaces, antique furnishings, huge bouquets of fresh flowers, and local art.
Facilities include a top notch dining room that specializes in local produce and seafood harvested in Donegal Bay; two bars, and a glass-enclosed and plant-filled conservatory lounge that is often sunlit and always bright with surrounding sea views; glass elevator, and spa with Jacuzzi. The 60 guest rooms, many of which offer large unobstructed panoramic views of the ocean, vary in size but are all decorated with designer fabrics and period furniture including armoires, vanities, and four-poster or canopy beds. Because of its location between Sligo and Donegal towns, the Sandhouse is an ideal base for touring the Northwest, although once you arrive, it's hard to leave this mesmerizing setting.
