Local Tips

Shandon Hotel and Spa is on the north Donegal coast, in Dunfanaghy. The hotel sits above Sheephaven Bay, with views across the water towards Horn Head and the Atlantic beyond. It’s one of the more remote hotel destinations in Ireland, and the journey reflects that - plan for around three hours from Dublin Airport on a clear run.

The fixed price means no guesswork. Unlike metered taxis or surge-priced apps, you know the cost before you travel. That’s worth something on a longer cross-country journey where tolls, fuel, and time all stack up. The price covers all fees - there’s nothing extra to pay at the end.

The 15-minute service stop is built into the journey time. On a three-hour run you’ll appreciate the chance to step out, use the facilities, and grab a coffee or a bite. Your chauffeur will pull over at a service area or stop that suits the route and timing.

Dunfanaghy is a small village - let the hotel know your arrival time. The hotel team can arrange a late check-in or hold your key if you’re arriving after the usual front desk hours. It’s also worth confirming the exact address for your chauffeur, as satellite navigation sometimes routes to the wrong part of the bay.
