The Sand House is quite unique, looking out over Donegal Bay and the 5 course dinner is of a high standard. The hotel is filled with antiques and no two rooms are the same. Rosnowllagh beach is just metres away and you sleep to the sound of the waves. It cost a few bob as we couldn't resist the dinner each evening for our 2 night stay.
