I can't comment on the rooms as I haven't stayed here but i've eaten in their restaurant for lunch on a few occasions with a few girls from work and we all agree that the food is just divine. The staff are really friendly. Will be back - recommend :-)

Was expecting great things from Shines but, alas, I was to be disappointed. First impressions were good - I was travelling alone but had a room with two double beds.

We stayed at Shines Guesthouse in late July 2012. It's a sweet little hotel, not the fanciest and some of the decor is a bit faded but clean, tidy, and looked after.

The guestrooms are spacious and comfortable; the bathrooms well equipped and quite large. The rooms at the back (low numbers) have no... More

Stayed here for one night. Room was rough around the edges with doors appearing to be unpainted, a few cobwebs and a clothes rail in place of a wardrobe. Quite a lot of road noise from the front rooms. Breakfast okay, but nothing special.

If you base your view of Shines Guesthouse on the outside, you likely won't go in, and will miss out on a very nice stay. The guesthouse is on the upper floors of a lively pub, a kebab shop and some minor retail, so we expected (from past experience!) either a noisy or noisome accommodation. We were pleased that was...

Stayed here for 1 night for Irish Olympics last Augst. I would highly recommend as Sue is a fab hostess. Rooms are top class and excellent breakfast. Hopefully we will be back again this year.
