Sandhouse Hotel

A brilliant service, Stuff super friendly

This was the start of our Nostalgic Visit to Ieland and it provided an excellent start. The hotel cannot be faulted. Walks on the beach go on for miles but in October you need to be wrapped up. Even the surf school was giving lessons although the participants needed their wetsuits

Been here a few times over the years but it’s been a while since our last visit. The location & views are still spectacular, the staff were their usual friendly/helpful self and the weather was very kind to us but we still came away feeling a bit disappointed. Our deluxe Seaview room felt tired, the bathroom facilities were poor and in need of refurbishment, and the window had condensation in the double glazing which detracted from the view. Surprisingly there was no complimentary water in the room which you would have expected in this standard of room – in summary there was nothing deluxe about the room. We were also surprised to find paper napkins in their fine dining restaurant, no champagne by the glass and no dessert wines on offer – it seems the hotel is cutting corners to save money. We left feeling it was no longer the special place we had once visited and was now just a bit ordinary.
