"We returned to The Shore Hotel for a second time, this time staying an extra night, and once again the standards were exceptionally high. Honestly, this genuinely is our favourite hotel ever! We stayed in Room 1 this time, and in our opinion, the views are the best in the hotel! Waking up overlooking the harbour and beautiful coastline is just something special. The food continues to blow us away. We ate in the restaurant every day, and everything was exquisite. Breakfast, lunch, dinner and even the snacks were all out of this world. The quality, freshness and flavours are exceptional, and every meal was a highlight of our stay. A special mention to the staff, who were so friendly, welcoming and helpful. They genuinely made the effort to get to know you, making us feel like valued guests rather than just another booking. Those personal touches really do make a difference! The hotel itself is gorgeous, with its beautiful seaside feel, stunning bathrooms, lovely toiletries and comfortable rooms. You can really appreciate the thought, effort and pride that have gone into creating somewhere so special. It’s wonderful to see a hotel of this standard in Balintore, a place that holds a very special place in my heart. Huge credit to everyone involved in making The Shore Hotel what it is. The hospitality, setting, accommodation and food make it somewhere we will keep coming back to. Two visits down, and we’re already looking forward to the next!"

8/10 Good
"We enjoyed our stay here and thought it was good value. Food in the restaurant was very tasty (although limited choice - only three starters, three mains (one was veggie); breakfast was very good. Friendly staff on reception, but service was very slow in the restaurant and we had to ask for our drinks which still hadn't arrived by the time our main course was served. Beautiful lounge area and bar, fantastic property and rooms were very large and spacious - but there are a lot of maintenance issues that need addressing (windows that couldn't be opened in bathroom, slightly dodgy socket in bedroom). Shame the fires weren't lit as it was a bit cold in both the lounge and dining room. But we enjoyed our stay, in a beautiful location and at a good price."

"We LOVED our room & stay here….wish we had booked another couple days. Staff were very nice, accommodating and kind. We were blessed with sun & blue sky…..walk across the road to the golf course and an easy walk to a beautiful beach. The grounds are lovely. They had a wedding party and could not accommodate our having dinner at the hotel BUT the receptionist made a recommendation and booked a nearby dinner for us which was very good 🙂 If we get back over the pond we would stay here again & for longer"
