We couldn't have been more impressed with Sandymount and our stay there recently. Avril and Robin are wonderful and hugely welcoming hosts who went far and away to make our stay memorable, they even helped with our wedding planning! Their house is lovely with a very classic finish to all the rooms, the breakfast was great and the location was... More

Spent four weeks touring Ireland and stayed here two nights. Good location just a mile west of town. Lovely couple and they gave us some local info, very nice. Try and get a room on the back of the house away from the road noise. Also in room 4 you can hear your next room neighbor taking a shower, etc.... More

Is this the best B&B we've ever stayed in? I think so!! Warm, friendly welcome from the owners, one of the most comfortable beds I've ever slept in, one of the most powerful refreshing showers I've ever had, and definitely the best breakfast I've ever had. All in a beautifully and lovingly restored period house that's warm, cozy and very... More

I stayed here for a long weekend in August, and would recommend Sandymount House highly! A warm welcome, with tea and home-made cakes when I arrived, a comfortable room and bed, a great breakfast, and all at a very reasonable price! Avril and Robyn have a welcome which is of the same high quality as their lovely house and beautifully-designed... More

So I stayed here on two consecutive weekends in August. On the first occasion I stayed in the main house and the room was clean, bed comfortable and the breakfast in the morning first class. Many a 5 star hotel would fail to deliver such a quality b'fast. Avril and Robyn made me extremely welcome and it felt very much... More

Turned up, with friends on 2 motorcycles, to stay one night as it was on our journey home from Skibbereen near Cork to Dun Laoghaire. We were given a very warm welcome from Avril and Robyn. After we were taken to our rooms, which are lovely and kept to a high standard, the house was symapathetically decorated and furnished to... More

Sandymount is possibly the best Band B we have ever stayed in. In fact it beats some hotels. Avril and Robyn welcomed us as though we were part of the family with tea and cake when we arrived. The rooms were splendid and beautifully furnished. They phoned to book us dinner in a local restaurant which was really helpful. Breakfast... More

Avril and Robyn were perfect hosts. The house is beautiful. The gardens were lovely. The dog and horses were very cordial. Couldn't recommend it more highly. Susan & Dick Bringardner

Simply the best B&B I have ever stayed in. Attention to detail is their strong point. Nothing is left to chance. This is a refurbished property that has all modern conveniences without detracting from the character. Internet piped to the room, and the powerfullest shower ever. Not to mention free coffee and excellent home baking. Also the location is perfect... More
