My partner is a diabetic and we needed a small fridge in the room for insulin which was not available. Staff were very apologetic over this but could not get one, they did offer to keep this in a fridge downstairs but we did not avail of this.
Fabulous breakfast and dinner in the evening in a lovely dining room with stunning views of the beach. Staff were very approachable, helpful and our room was large and very clean.

Rooms a bit dated but clean. The Spa was fully booked during our stay so it is advisable to book in advance to avoid disappointment.
Set in a stunning location our stay at the Sand House Hotel was perfect from start to finish. The staff were friendly and helpful. The food was excellent. The views from the room were breathtaking. Well done to the Management and staff they have got the mix right👌

“fab view, great walks on the beach ,partner enjoyed a propper Guinness, sitting outside the surfebar”
- • Leisure trip

Upon arrival. hmmm that was not a good start at all and receptionist was far from the welcoming type. Room, well that was the biggest disappointment of it all as we had paid a lot for what we would call a standard .Outdated, needs painting up as scratches on walls, struggled with getting cold water tap working, paper tissues for Facecloth.!!! toilet holder kept falling off the wall, windows seriously draughty. Wardrobe and other furniture so worn out that the laminate was peeling off... If they are going to call themselves a 4* hotel and provide rooms like we had at that price- then clean up the place as it could be an absolutely fab hotel
Loved the location of the hotel. The sea view was just something special .Fantastic sandy beach, perfect for surfing and walks. Staff that served breakfast and dinner was friendly .Food was very good and plenty of it

Hotel a little tired BUT given that this was rescued from administration by the management and is being built back to solvency and sufficiency all efforts should be supported and credited and the occasional sign of wear and tear should be forgiven
Unbelievable location, views, beach, running and swimming (too calm to surf!), sunsets, spacious room, fresh seafood meals, nearby Smugglers pub, driving on the beach..
