Sandhouse Hotel

A brilliant service, Stuff super friendly

We were a group of 10 adults and 10 children celebrating a special family occasion and we had a wonderful stay at the Sandhouse Hotel. It is a lovely, cosy, quirky hotel with a personal touch and right next to the beautiful beach. The staff were so lovely, patient, and accommodating especially with the children. We had dinner in the restaurant and the food and service was perfect. Breakfast was a lovely relaxing experience with fabulous sea views. You could order what you wanted from a menu and staff had reserved two tables for us for the morning so we could come and go as we pleased. A much nicer experience than the usual buffet. I am not a huge fan of staying in hotels but the Sandhouse has changed my mind. Will definitely be back as it a had a lovely personal touch.

Already looking to see when I can return. This place is magical, so peaceful, friendly, excellent food and good service. The bed was very comfortable, nice spacious bathroom, powerful shower, good towels etc. I find this hotel delivers the right mix of charm, making you feel genuinely like a guest but without any pomp. With a sea view room all you can do is sit and stare at the wonderful view, listen to the waves and slowly feel the tension drop off you.

We had the spring package today with Chelsea and Karla and it was amazing. The treatments were fab and they even got us a fruit platter for a special birthday to help us celebrate! We both really enjoyed our time there and will definitely be back.

So wonderful to find a Hotel that upholds the high standards that were once the norm in Irish Hospitality. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay from the moment we arrived with the friendliest of staff in every department. Most wonderful room with magnificent Atlantic Views and Bed offering the finest Sleep Quality. Dining Room literally overlooking the wonderful Beach with super Menu and service and the Residents Bar/Lounge just perfect. All in all most enjoyable and have no hesitation in recommending the Sandhouse to all including the most discerning and look forward to returning hopefully soon. Thank you to all at The Sandhouse. J & M.

I booked a massage at the Spa (this has nothing to do with the hotel as I didn’t stay there). I have booked many massages here in the past when visiting the area and the massage I booked, I’ve had several times before so I’m familiar with what it entails. The therapist was pleasant enough, she was ages before she came into the room to do the massage (felt like she was wasting time). She seemed like a bit of a ‘Calamity Jane’ initially with one issue or another. But the worst was I literally paid for someone to rub oil into my skin. I kept on thinking it’s going to get better and feel like a massage soon!! It didn’t get any better, I wasn’t relaxed enough to fall asleep like she wanted me to, it was so frustrating, you keep thinking she’s going to actually massage me soon…... I should have said something but I didn’t, so I paid and left. I was too embarrassed to say anything because it was so bad. I always tip but just felt I couldn’t this time. It’s put me off returning again for what I can only describe as a ‘skin rub’. Shame as used to be a lovely place with great therapists.

Despite the scary weather in front of the Atlantic Ocean, the stay with the hotel was amazing. We got a beautiful room on the 3rd floor which is facing the sea. Two beds are so comfortable. The hotel provides the famous Ireland brand Voya as the skin care products. I also had a good massage session (very late booking but still got in for 50 minutes) with the wonderful lady, who knows my 'sore' spots! I wish to visit this place again in a better weather.

Group stayed here on a busy September weekend. Opted for the dinner, bed and breakfast package. Food was good , staff friendly. Had a view over the beach … The room was clean, bed comfortable. Guinness in the hotel bar was good 8.5/10 Will definitely return.

Stayed at the Sandhouse hotel in November 2023 for a family celebration and had a fabulous stay. Location, sea views, food, entertainment were all 100%. The staff are so friendly and helpful, especially Maggie and Paul who helped plan a great birthday celebration. The sea view rooms will not disappoint. Would highly recommend this hotel we will be back again!
