We stayed for two nights in this awful place. The reception area was like a time warp from the sixties. The bedroom was spacious. We saw dirt and dust on the dado rail and lamp shades. The mattress, bed and bedclothes felt cheap and uncomfortable. The TV was old, small and had no hand control. We had to put a book up against the door to stop it rattling. The curtains didn’t match the pelmet and neither matched the bedspread. There was a white kitchen unit in the bathroom with a basin in it. The bath taps didn’t match the basin taps. The shower water was either too hot or too cold as the cold pressure was greater than the hot. General air of cheapness. The swimming pool was a disgrace. It had green mould and broken tiles in numerous places. The water line in the pool looks as if it hadn’t been cleaned in a very long time. The Jacuzzi had broken tiles and parts were replaced with ill fitting white plastic sheeting. There were holes in the broken tiles which I was...... Read more

Booked in for 3 days. Very expensive, food very average/poor. Paid for childrens meals, service for these was apalling/non existent, didn't get drinks, sweets didn't arrive etc. Walked out of meal on last night after being told we hadnt been booked in?, Incompetent restaurant, staff were rude, nasty and treated us with utter contempt. Never again.

Made to feel unwelcome and unwanted. We like previous reviewers now know what non existent service feels like. It was a costly lesson at £130 a night and I will always read reviews like this first.

Do not book for Weddings and special occassions

We booked the Sandy Cove Hotel back in July 2006 as the venue for our Wedding and Reception. At the time of booking we spoke to a manager who was very helpful, made us feel that this was the best place for our wedding and that the hotel could cater comfortably for all our needs (which were pretty basic). We only had a small wedding party and had booked the hotel for the wedding breakfast and also the evening reception (held within the dining room), as suggested at the time of booking as the wedding party was only small. As our wedding is in September 2007 we thought all plans were fine and were looking forward to confirming arrangements for colours, room bookings etc. On meeting with the hotel again, and with another member of staff, we sat down to discuss the finer details and go over the original arrangements. 1. They had NO idea that we required the ceremony to be held at the hotel - although all this was booked, written down by the very helpful gentleman we met and...... Read more
