Liam
Our room had a lovely beach view and was very spacious. It was a little dated but not in any way problematically so. The bathroom was large with a good powerful shower. But the best thing about our break was our food in The Glasshouse Restaurant! On route to Ireland we thought we’d break our long journey with a night’s stop at Friars Carse Hotel near Dumfries. We paid more for our evening meal and wine there and it was dire quality. My wife was unable to finish her soggy pasta drowned in oil. By contrast the food in The Glasshouse Restaurant at The Sandhouse was probably some of the best we both have ever had, you know the dangerous type, so good despite being full you keep eating it! Whilst every bit was brilliant, I think our query to each other “How can carrots taste this amazingly good?” sums up its excellence. The food presentation and service was simply fabulous with friendly and helpful staff. We’re happy to commend 100%!
Lorie
The rooms were very warm without air conditioning. They cooled off in the evening with the nice ocean breeze. We really enjoyed listening to the ocean while going to sleep.
Ruth
We couldn't fault this hotel in anyway, it was very clean, the food was lovely, the staff were very helpful and very friendly.

The views out to sea were exceptional and being right on the beach for walks is so good..hotel felt a little dated but acceptable none the less..
Janet
We had the perfect view of the ocean from our room at the Sandhouse Hotel. With the windows open at night listening to the waves was so peaceful and tranquil. The employees were extremely helpful and made us feel very welcome. I would definitely return for another stay.
Monica
except from the view to the beach didn't like the property at all.

John
Comfortable and cosy.
Very good beach hotel suitable for all age groups.Comfortable and cosy.Really nice breakfastand fine dinners.
KAREN
Hotel is on a beautiful beach. Hotel decor is victorian not beachy. Room was comfortable and clean. Entrance and exit doors took a bit of getting used to and beach access is down a bit. Would have been nice if the bar served more than just pizza, as the hotel restaurant required a reservation and was pricey. There was a very good food truck on the beach. Breakfast was really good! No air conditioning so you need to close the blinds if it's a sunny day!
Christopher

Rossnowlagh stay
I booked a double room and for some reason was booked as a single traveller
Hotel didn’t change our room and bed was quite small and not the most comfortable
After a bit of debate with hotel reception we were not charged any extra but were disappointed with uncomfortable bed
Had to show proof of purchase of what I had actually paid for room and was slightly embarrassed
We love rossnowlagh and have stayed in this hotel on quite a few occasions .food and overall trip was enjoyable but booking experience leaves a lot to be desired

Cathy
Loved this hotel.
Lynne
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.
Thomas
The views across the Atlantic from bedrooms are stunning …excellent food and service !!

Unbelievable views of the Atlantic Ocean and convenient access to the beach from this hotel and the restaurant was delicious. I can’t recommend it highly enough!
Chris
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.
Tania
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
Eileen
The view from our room was absolutely beautiful looking straight onto the beech. Enjoyed relaxing on the sun veranda on the second floor.
Meals were first class and staff were so friendly.
Really enjoyed our few days there.

Great will be back
Staff were fabulous especially the lady thy looked after us in the dining room. She was so good with us and our wee girl.
View from the room was spectacular. The only thing that was a negative was a noise in room during the severe wind. It was coming from the bathroom
Vent. But I don’t think that’s the hotels fault for how windy it was.

This is a BEAUTIFUL older property in a spectacular location! The room was beautiful, filled with antique furniture and a canopy bed! The staff were all friendly and warm, like they've known you forever. We will definitely be back....HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Great hotel right on the beach
Fabulous location right on the beach. We had room 320 with a sea view and would recommend anyone to book the top floor sea view rooms. We didn't eat at the hotel except breakfast which was good. We ate at the bar at the top of the beach called smugglers cove which is top notch. Had a brilliant few days and will be back
Bob
Fantastic hotel and location…
We had a great stay; loved the location and the staff were excellent.

Hotel was lovely, room as advertised. Only issue was the heating. Room was very cold overnight and thermostat did not seem to be functional. A member of our group became unwell due to the cold conditions which was very disappointing!!

Perfection
What an amazing hotel, we cannot express highly enough the care and attention we received from all the staff. The room was large and prefect. The bed was extra-large and so comfortable. We ate in the dining room on one night and the menu extensive. We would highly recommend to couples and families.

Loved this hotel! The staff welcome everyone as though it was their own home — nothing is too much trouble. Food is excellent and presented beautifully. Noise is controlled so that partying at one end is not heard in the conversation areas or bedrooms.

Location of the hotel is superb - facing onto the magnificent rossnowlagh beach. The views are incredible. Food and service are top notch. The breakfasts are superb and as a nice touch, it's all served to you, at your table - not a buffet.

I would describe this as a classic old European seaside resort. It's not elegant, but that's OK. Room was large but bath was somewhat small. Very clean and comfortable and staff do a great job. Ate at restaurant there all 4 mornings and nights and had excellent seafood meals (try their seafood chowder - outstanding!). Also has a pub with friendly service and music Fri - Sun. Incredible views from our room looking out over a broad beach with nice firm sand for walks. Next door is a surfing club, and we watched surfers riding the waves, plus also watched instructors giving lessons to kids. A little off the beaten bath but less than 10 miles from Donegal and well worth the effort to get there. I would definitely go back.

Exceptional service
This is a lovely hotel in a wonderful location with friendly, helpful staff. It deserves every success. The food in the restaurant is very, very good. I really must draw attention to the service in the restaurant, both for the evening meal and breakfast. I don't think I have ever experienced better.

Business trip.
My stay was a business trip. The hotel was picked due to being near the site I was working plus it had free parking, free WiFi, breakfast and a restaurant.
The hotel and ambience was extremely nice, cosy and very relaxing, so much so I’m thinking of returning with my wife for either a long weekend away or a holiday. Can’t recommend enough, a lovely hotel with stunning scenery.

Beautiful place, right on the water. My only issue was a mildew smell in the room, but that might be hard to avoid.

A lovely restful place to spend a few days. Have stayed here many times and the stay is always enjoyable. Only thing was for a superior room the bathroom was a bit small.
