Long Weekend family break
Sandy Bay hideaway is in a great position, close to the pool, shop, pub and path to the beach, but is still very quite and relaxing.
We enjoyed our trip, but sandy bay was visibly run down and just felt a little tired, with what looked like mould on my sons bedroom carpet floor, the bed bases looked old and mould round both shower floors / screens, a lot of paint work scuffed / faded in every room and some of the kitchen equipment / drawers were dirty and / or damaged, as well as the master dressing table which looked horrendous with some yellow staining and marks. The decking outside had loads of rotten away parts which, even though we’re all young and fit was a balancing act to walk across to avoid falling or tripping - which took the shine off the place a bit.
The shower in the master en-suite was disappointing, purely down to the lack of power in the flow, which is odd as the tap pressure in the sinks was good.
The bedding, sofas, fire, the heating flexibility, comfy seating outside, ease of checking in and welcome pack were all lovely and despite the few little niggles from no doubt the age and use of the cottage we really enjoyed our long weekend away, albeit we wouldn’t choose to stay at this cottage again in the near future, unless it was refurbed - thank you
