Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

Our room had a lovely beach view and was very spacious. It was a little dated but not in any way problematically so. The bathroom was large with a good powerful shower. But the best thing about our break was our food in The Glasshouse Restaurant! On route to Ireland we thought we’d break our long journey with a night’s stop at Friars Carse Hotel near Dumfries. We paid more for our evening meal and wine there and it was dire quality. My wife was unable to finish her soggy pasta drowned in oil. By contrast the food in The Glasshouse Restaurant at The Sandhouse was probably some of the best we both have ever had, you know the dangerous type, so good despite being full you keep eating it! Whilst every bit was brilliant, I think our query to each other “How can carrots taste this amazingly good?” sums up its excellence. The food presentation and service was simply fabulous with friendly and helpful staff. We’re happy to commend 100%!
