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.

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.

Location magic

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

Location and view are perfect

The views were wonderful

A wall light up over the sofa bed would be handy as I'm reader and a hook at the back of door to hang a rain jacket.

The location is a huge winner here within walking distance of the village, the beach, good walks and the nearby bars and restaurants. I was blessed with sunny weather sothe deck overlooking the beach was beautiful. The property is certainly for a solo traveler, if it had been raining for my entire stay, I imagine it would have gotten a little claustrophobic.

I don't think the place is rentable the bed is a couch with the duvet and pillows all which were unironed left on it to make your own bed !!kitchenette with no tea or coffee or no table and chairs the ensuite has a toilet shower and sink full stop no shelf towel rack or toilet roll holder the mirrors were filthy absolutely no attention to detail in any area the TV didn't work my daughter was staying in a local hotel with beautiful rooms for the very same price as this place and included breakfast it just blows my mind someone could actually rent somewhere like this its actually nearly indescribable you'd have to see it to believe it but we certainly wont be returning here i just couldn't recommend it this review is coming from someone with properties on both bookings. Com and Airbnb

Honestly can't think of anything.

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

Very expensive for the tiny space

The accommodation had a wonderful view but was basic

Not a single thing. All good.

Quirky and absolutely adorable.

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.

Beautiful location.

Could do with a little bit more storage and a bin

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.

amazing views and location

The place was run down. One of the blinds didn't work. The hook on the back of the door stopped the blind from closing correctly and made it feel less private. The facilities aren't great. The bed is a pull out couch or a dirty loft. Overall, the cleanliness of the property could really be improved. There's spiders everywhere, and the place smells musty. The owner didn't meet me at any point and instead left a key in the door. The price of €150 a night puts a sour taste in your mouth when the facilities are in much need of an update. There are no shower gels or shampoos provided for the price point. I could not recommend this property to anyone but a solo traveller who is in desperate need of accommodation.

The property is close to everything in Dunmore East. The view is beautiful when the weather is nice. Communication with the host prior to the stay was good.

No towels were provided, though Mark told us that was an oversight. There is no storage for bags, clothes, not even a shelf in the bathroom. The sofa bed is OK, not great. It's a shame as so much more could be done with the place, but simple things like the French doors to the deck not opening and one blind not working were an annoyance, whereas the view and the location are brilliant.

Location and view were excellent.

Nothing! No complaints!

Excellent location, walking distance to everything in Dunmore East. The accommodation was clean and had everything we needed during our stay. The host was very friendly. Will definitely be back.

Location and views were perfect. Centrally located by the sea. Place is small but perfect for our needs, and we enjoyed sitting on the balcony watching the sea.

Stayed in June 2023

the fact that it was described as a holiday apartment when in reallity it is a converted garden shed !

location and views were great!

Stayed in April 2023

It is a wonderful place where you can fall asleep and wake up to the sound of sea waves. The owner of the apartment is very friendly. A quiet town of Dunmore East with several picturesque coves and beaches and places to walk. Do not forget to visit the East Piar cafe and taste delicious fresh seafood. Sundy Cove - this is a place where you want to return!

Facility not fit for rental in winter time. Freezing cold. Duvet felt damp. Had to keep my hat and coat on all evening due to cold 🥶

The view was good Location not bad so long as you were fit or relied on your car

This is a cabin at best with a wonderful location and view.
