Pros:

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.

Pros:

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!

Rossnowlagh stay
Pros:

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
