Sandy Cove

Locallity, and the size and layout. It was cozie, sound proofed but also well ventilated.

Honestly can't think of anything.

The accommodation had a wonderful view but was basic

Very expensive for the tiny space

Quirky and absolutely adorable.

Not a single thing. All good.

location was great. Host was personable and tried his best to make us comfortable. He is a lovely individual. View of the ocean. with a lovely terrace for good weather with table and chairs. The view made it all worth while.

sofa pull out bed had a very uncomfortable mattress. Advertised as a one bedroom apt. not so, Very small studio apt. There was a problem with the TV but that can be fixed and host did everything possible to fix it. We were without access most of the time.

Beautiful location.

Sandy Cove stank of cigarette smoke, especially the bedding. While it looked lovely on the outside, internally the entire place was grimy, dusty and in desperate need of a new paint job. There was no bin, not even a plastic bag for rubbish. No dustpan, no breadknife, a cheap kettle that makes your tea taste of plastic. Inexplicably there were no handles on any of the doors, nowhere to hang clothes, no shelves, no toiletroll holder, no toothbrush holder, no dining table, no side tables, no table lamps. I feel like there was a huge effort to spend zero money on this property despite the fact Sandy Cove is clearly a converted garden shed and the owner lives in the sprawling thatched house directly overlooking the property. I'm sure he can well afford a few knobs for the doors (yes you Mark, and I hope you didn't assume that because you said hello to me I wouldn't write this review!) Overall, a very disappointing stay. Mark clearly couldn't give a monkeys about this property; if he did, he'd pull the drill out of his builders van and address the issues repeatedly mentioned by guests. Over the years I've stayed in hundreds of self-catering properties and I've only written reviews about twice when the property has been particularly bad value - it's places like this that assure me 'rip-off Ireland' mentality is still alive and well.

Location magic

Only gripe was nicer towels would be good

Location and view are perfect

Very small space. Many hooks needed around the room and bathroom. Holder for toilet paper needed too.

The views were wonderful

Great little studio- apartment. Location was perfect and had amazing views. I loved the outdoor decking area, and the half door. It was lovely to look out into the sea and hear the waves crashing. Once you are aware it is small, that’s great.

Could do with a little bit more storage and a bin
