Sandy Cove Hotel

Great location and helpful staffBreakfast goodLovely spa

Only a couple of things..Spa area is really nice, but let down as kids in the pool, noisy, so not really a relaxing setting . Would be great if there were a few adults only spa sessions. Didn't like dogs in restaurant.

Excellent break at Sandy Cove. We visited a few years ago, the upgrades are really noticeable. Accomodation very good, Spa and Swimming pool great. Sadly no Gym, but understand there are plans for this. Will be back,

My room was warm clean and comfortable all that you want.For a good night's sleep Stuff friendly and helpful.

But unfortunately, my room was above the kitchens and could hear the extract fan very loudly in my room.Receptionist was very friendly and apologetic. And was reassured that the fans would be off between 9.30 and 10 o'clock.Which most of them was, but unfortunately, one was left on what was a loud.Whirly pitch sounds and kept me awake most of the night.I booked dinner at the inside restaurant.Where I ordered the briskit burger with a side of homemade onion rings. The brisket burger resembled more like pull pork and was barely hot, and The Onion rings was unedible as they were so hard. I was scared of breaking my teeth and no I don't have false. choppersYou had to book a time slot for the swimming pool.The swimming pool itself is very lovely with lots of good facilitiesBut unfortunately, for the size of the swimming pool, too many people was letting it at the same time and could not swim without bumping into each other.

Location and the facilities were great. The service was fantastic. The breakfast was okay, The selection of food was great. The views were stunning.

Breakfast wise, The sausages were not cooked to our liking they were quite underdone with no colour, as were the , the bacon was the complete opposite And felt like it had been cooked for some time, couldn’t even get the fork into the bacon.The other problem we had with our room was it was very noisy at the end of the evening when going to bed and also early in the morning from 630. I don’t know if this was due to re-stocking or taking deliveries but it definitely woke us up which was a shame.

The view was absolutely stunning.Easy to park the truck.Room was nice and clean.Location lovely.

Pool area dirty.Restaurant area had lots of old cobwebs.Beach walk way was closed even though it was advertised as open on their Facebook page. This was very disappointing as the main reason we chose Sandy Cove.

Excellent location and amazing views. The staff were friendly and helpful, the room was spacious and comfortable and the food was very good.

The only small problem was vehicle access from Coombe Martin but that wasn’t the hotel’s fault.

The view is amazing. We enjoyed the swimming pool and sauna. Staff were great and the breakfast was excellent

Our room was at the back without a view and abit faded

View amazing , rooms nice , staff friendly

Spa facilities not great , but understood under renovation

The location is fabulous

It is now primarily a wedding venue and as such we were disappointed in the lack of a restaurant or bar with any ambience The menu for a hotel charging over £200 per night was limited and the food for a full English breakfast was not individually cooked I will be writing a letter of complaint to the owners

The view is fantastic and the swimming pool is a good addition. The female staff at reception were incredibly welcoming and accommodated to our unique needs. The breakfast staff were very good too.

When we arrived it became apparent very quickly that the car park was not big enough to accommodate hotel guests, diners at the restaurant and people attending weddings at the location. This meant we needed to initially park on a residential road up a steep hill from the hotel, which was certainly not ideal when unloading the car.The carpet and decor in the area near the stairs was tired and needs updating.Only 1 fan in the family room. The family unit consists of a main room and a second room for children, 1 fan was little use in cooling down the rooms.The family room was at the back of the hotel, on ground level with a public footpath running along the back meaning felt unsafe to have the windows open all night.The bathroom window was very large and even though the glass was frosted, offered little privacy when in the shower with the footpath running along side the building.We booked into the restaurant on the first night with the booking advising we had 1 hour 30 minutes at the table. We ended up sitting down to eat 25 minutes early so settled in knowing we had good time to get the kids fed and enjoy our evening after a long journey. At this point we were the only people in the restaurant. We ordered food for the kids and drinks for us, after about 30 minutes the waitress was told by the male manager to hurry us up and proceed to come over to us and advise that they needed the table back soon rushing us to pay the bill and vacate the table, exceptionally poor service.The second night we hadn’t book into the restaurant as we planned to eat out but ended up back at the hotel early, we went to the restaurant to see if we could get in (this was about 4:15pm). Advised by the same male manager that they were fully booked and couldn’t/wouldn’t accommodate us.

Not much, there was no sandy cove, they had workmen everywhere, so that was disappointing.

Everything, staff not particularly polite, no sandy cove as there were building works but no reduction in very over priced room.

Stunning Views, lovely warm swimming pool, free parking and a delicious breakfast.

Steam room out of order. No towels available in the spa had to go all the way back to reception. Getting to the room was like a maze down every corridor conceivable.

Fantastic viewStaff excellent

Could hear music from the restaurant early in morning and at night due to the speakers being in restaurant ceiling.The noise woke the wife !!She was not happy as we came for a rest.

The view from our balcony room was incredible! Apart from some ongoing building work the grounds are kept immaculate. Our room had a lovely new shower room. Every member of staff we interacted with was friendly. The service at dinner was fantastic, the staff are a credit to this hotel.

The sound proofing in between rooms, and some of the communal areas could be updated but the hotel is obviously re-investing with the ongoing building work.

The views were phenomenal. The balcony was lovely, as was the seating in the front of the hotel. There were lovely views from the restaurant.

Some of the staff were not very friendly and not very helpful. There was no lift.The disabled parking was narrow and difficult to access.The food was disappointing.

Location

Pool no light or air con

Absolutely stunning views, this makes the hotel stand out. Peaceful place, the ocean view very beautiful. Staff are friendly, restaurant has nice food with good choices and vegan/vegetarian options. Terrace outside has plenty of seating, nicely done with fashionable chairs and comfortable outdoor furniture. Room was not very big but had nice interior, two seats indoor and outdoor as well. Nice coffee maker and tea facilities.

We had the classic room with balcony and as it is stated- with a large double bed. Our bed was a queen size of 140cm wide which is really too small for a room like that. Plus if the bed is turned 90 degrees, you could have the stunning view from the bed. It would require to remove the heater though- which could be replaced by a flat electric panel at another wall in the room. But that is just my suggestion.Seating was in front of dresser, not very handy.

Fantastic Location. Nice staff. Great food. When the building work is finished, it will receive a 10/10 from me.

Bed a little firmer than I am used to. (Subjective, I know)

Room was surprisingly spacious and the en suite was the same. Beautiful setting and views and good food

Beautiful location and spotlessly clean hotel.

Waited and hour for our main course in an almost empty restaurant. Kitchen staff rowing with waiting staff and using fowel language didn't bother having another meal in restaurant. Food was very well presented and delicious shame about the staff.
