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

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

6/10 Good

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.
Lynne, 3-night trip

Just a little dated.
