We booked into Glenshandan as we were over in Dublin for a family wedding and the hotel holding the reception was fully booked. We made our booking on the basis of the majority of the reviews on Tripadvisor but I now wonder what kind of places these reviewers are used to staying in. The decor was extremely tired and dated...

This is the most kind and home friendly B&B I have ever spent a holiday at. Kieran with family and staff only had kind words and smiles whenever anyone needed help, no matter if they where staying at this B&B or just needed help with connecting to the internet. Rooms are cozy, warm and clean. Breakfast is good and the... More

Spent last two nights in Ireland at Glenshandan before moving back to the US. The Glenshandan is family run and the atmosphere is traditional Irish. For breakfast you have an excellent choice from the buffet of cereal, juices, yogurt, and fruits as well as a cooked full Irish or your choice. The room was light and airy with complimentary coffee... More

Visiting Ireland for the first time, this was the ultimate experience. Friendly, helpful and forthcoming proprietor (and staff) who treated us to a bottle of wine since the cold water tap was not working (was changed immediately). Clean and comfortable room. Good prices. Easy access to Dublin city center and airport. Very nice pubs and restaurants in Swords, and great... More

May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind always be at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face, and rains fall soft upon your fields. And until we meet again, May God hold you in the palm of His hand. Thank you from depths of my heart for the warmest, friendliest, and most kindest... More

Glenshandan Lodge took us in last minute which really helped us out since all surrounding B&B's were full. The rooms were clean and the staff was very kind. It is about a 20 minute bus ride into Dublin city centre which is convenient. I would stay here again.

We stayed here one night after leaving nearby Highfield House (see separate review). The accommodations were attractive, clean, comfortable, quiet and generally a very pleasant experience. The lady who welcomed us seemed to be wearing three hats as she was observed cleaning rooms, welcoming guests and making breakfasts in the short 24 hours that we were there. She was very... More
