Lovely stay at the South Sands. Room was comfortable with a huge walk in shower and separate roll top bath. Included breakfast was great and dinner was also very good. Perfect setting on the beach. Had a great free car park. Only fault was sound proofing of the room. Was quite noisy, especially when trying to go to sleep. Luckily we always pack ear plugs so didnā€™t affect us for long. I had read previous reviews about the roads leading to the hotel but nothing could have prepared me from the nail biting experience when you had to go anywhere!

Regrettable
No hot water in the hotel which was beyond disappointing, given the fact that I craved the heat after a rainy 19km walk. Most unfortunately, the dining experience was excruciatingly uncomfortable, being forgotten about outside whilst my table in the warmth was given away. Whatā€™s the point of attractive decor if you cannot get the basics right?

Lovely staff, couldnā€™t have been more helpful. Food very good. Just thought room needed a bit of tiding/painting, bathrooms needed re grouting etc. it didnā€™t affect our stay, but is top money and except it to be right. We stayed in a sea view room with doors to open but no window to let any air in. So it was the door open which not sure on security of that. And there was no air-conditioning. All in all a lovely place.
