We stayed in the Sandhouse many years ago and throughly enjoyed our stay in a luxury 4 star experience. This time it was as if the place had stayed still in time in every sense it is tired it is grubby and has lost its panache. On a positive the breakfast was first class and all the staff were lovely. So whilst I would not say it was a disaster the 4 star pricing was not reflective of the hotel standard.

Check in could be improved
When checking in you have to use the intercom at the front door. We expected we were too early for check in but did not expect to be told, in an exasperated tone, before we even got through the front door that check in is not until 3pm. No suggestion of how was your journey, did you travel far, your room isn't ready but please come in (out of the rain) and you are welcome to use the bar. A very poor first impression. The remaining staff were very attentive and friendly.

The location of hotel is lovely but the property is tired and is in desperate need of renovation. My room was depressing. Poor lighting. Frayed carpet. Worn out towels etc

Really Nice Stay
We had a really nice stay. Breakfasts and dinners were great. We loved walking on the beach and the beautiful views from our room and the restaurant. Our room was very clean and quiet and parking was easy, what more could we ask for?
