Great little hotel with a stunning setting overlooking Donabate Beach. The hotel itself is in need of "Freshening Up". I had a room on the ground floor overlooking the sea but it smelt heavily cigarette smoke!! A lick of paint around the hotel would solve this. The food at the bar was excellent. Fish is a must! Just be patient... More

People there know how to make you feel welcome. Everyone is nice from the manager to the cleaning ladies. The view is beautiful and some of the rooms are very spacious. The downside is the decor in the restaurant-pub ( rather tacky ) and the very noisy customers. Avoid the week ends at all cost if you want some rest. More

As I live very close to this hotel I never had an overnight stay. However the restaurant and bar I have visited on a couple of occasions and I've never been disappointed. For afternoon tea I've had a very good carrot cake, while overlooking the sea. Sunday afternoon does not come better then that. Beside that I've had some very... More

We had our wedding at The Waterside House Hotel and we loved it. An amazing location, wonderful staff, fantastic food, lots of little personal touches. And special thanks to Jessica, the brilliant wedding coordinator. Huge success all round. We will be returning to the Waterside House Hotel frequently! Gary & Sinéad More

My sister and brother in law where getting married at this hotel so the family and some guests decided to stay overnight rather than drive home. The hotel is situated beautifully on the beach and on a summers day would be lovely. The hotel is a true Irish hotel, Irish hospitality, Irish food and Irish drinks. I really enjoyed my... More

First stay at this hotel, travelling on business. Excellent staff and the food in the restuarant was delicious, served by a most professional waiter. Great view from my room and the beach is only yards away. Also enjoyed the Irish music in the bar - Thursday night - Will definately stay here again. More

Got a treat ticket deal for family of 4. Great weather for beach combing. Had a very good meal with free bottle of prosecco. Kids played out the front while we watched a brave surfer row out to sea (brave or nuts). We had a ground floor room so it was handy to out the kids to bed and return... More
