Tolle Lage, trotz Strandnähe und Trouble sehr ruhig. Stilsicher eingerichtet und alles vorhanden was man benötigt. Zauberhafte Katze 😁
Die Toilettenspülung und der Ofen sind etwas schwach auf der Brust.
Ein absolutes Juwel – absolute Herzensempfehlung!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Schon bei unserer Ankunft am Nachmittag waren wir absolut begeistert von dem geschmackvollen Ambiente im maritimen Stil. Der erste Eindruck hat nicht zu viel versprochen: Alles war überaus gepflegt, blitzsauber und einfach einladend. Hier möchten wir der Familie, die alles so liebevoll eingerichtet hat, ein riesiges Kompliment aussprechen! Auch das Badezimmer war top – es hat an absolut nichts gefehlt. Das Schlafzimmer ist wunderbar geräumig, führt den maritimen Stil nahtlos fort und lädt zum Wohlfühlen ein. Ein ganz besonderes Highlight war der herausragende Service: Als bei uns der Strom ausfiel – was in Irland ja durchaus mal vorkommen kann –, war die Kommunikation einfach großartig. Obwohl es erst fünf Uhr morgens war, haben wir per WhatsApp geschrieben. Die Gastgeberin hat sofort alles, wirklich alles, daran gesetzt, dass es uns gut geht, und hat umgehend eine Notstromanlage in Betrieb genommen. Wenn das kein erstklassiger Service ist! Wir waren absolut hingerissen und würden beim nächsten Mal definitiv nicht nur für ein paar Tage, sondern gleich für mehrere Wochen bleiben. Wir können diese Unterkunft jedem nur wärmstens ans Herz legen – es lohnt sich wirklich! ——————-englische Version—————- An absolute gem – we cannot recommend this place highly enough! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ From the moment we arrived in the afternoon, we were completely enchanted by the tasteful maritime decor. First impressions did not disappoint: everything was incredibly well-maintained, sparkling clean, and just so welcoming. We want to give a huge compliment to the family who put so much love into furnishing this place! The bathroom was fantastic too – it had absolutely everything we needed. The bedroom is wonderfully spacious, beautifully continues the maritime theme, and is the perfect place to unwind.
Keine Mängel
It was like a home from home, very private and quiet. I loved the interior, would be even in more special in summer time I would say. We both loved the condiments like tea bags and coffee, very much appreciated. Would definitely come back here again, the location is class and so close to that beautiful beach.
Location is excellent - 2 minute walk to the beach one way and a 2 min walk to a nice cafe and pub the other way! Local shop is a 10 minute walk away! So everything you need is on your doorstep! Communication with owners was very straightforward and Paul even popped over to say hello when we arrived!
Nothing - everything was great!
location, hosts, comfort
Chalet was very clean comfortable and had everything you need. The location was great beside a lovely beach and we had a great time touring round Donegal the scenery is stunning. I would highly recommend Sandville chalet .
Everything was in perfect order

Loved the seaside colour vibe in the chalet it made us instantly relax. The beautiful blue flag beach was a 2 min walk. The chalet was well equipped and the hosts Julie & Paul were very attentive. We had a lovely stay and will return again.
Cozy place, close to the beach, very helpful and kind host, well equipped kitchen, fireplace and logs, parking next to the backdoor, hot shower. Overall we can highly recommend the place and we would consider staying here again.
Overall 9 out of 10 due to tiny little inconveniences. We would have preferred a dish washer instead of washing machine and a slightly wider bed would have been a plus. But that is complaining on a high level. Well deserved nine stars.
Beautiful location, well equipped. The serenity was just what we needed. The beach was less than 5 mins away, as was the pub if you fancied it. We loved the location and the facilities. Julie and Paul could not have been better hosts, Thank You , we are already looking to return. Nige n Sara
What a wonderful place. Kitchen was fully equipped, beach was a 2min walk away and Julie was the loveliest host you could ask for! We had a beautiful time here and I would 100% recommend:)
The property was very clean.
The chalet was very cold upon arrival and the heat was on a timer which only came on twice a day. 3 hours in the afternoon and 2 hours in the morning which was not enough to keep the chalet warm. The instruction book stated not to adjust the timers. There was a wood burning stove however the firewood provided was damp and would not burn. We were very disappointed that there was no view from the chalet. The pictures on the booking.com site were very deceiving. Although the beach was very close, there was no ocean view as it appeared on the advertisement.
very centrally located for pub beach etc
no view
Compact and fully equipped without feeling cramped.
Nothing really 🤔, if I could improve one thing it would be the shower in so far as more powerful.
We could not fault our accommodation. It was home from home. Our hosts Julie and Paul were so lovely. They have put a lot of thought into giving you the perfect stay. Highly recommend. Thank you so much. David and Tara Stewart
Out of season visit to Donegal. Almost perfect for a couple for a long weekend, clean, good decor and well fitted out. The weather was very variable - changing from lashing rain to sunshine and rainbows in minutes - but that was part of the experience. It's just a 100m walk to a vast sandy beach which was almost empty of other people. It's also less than an hours drive to the Slighlieve League Cliffs which we visited at sunset - spectacular despite the bitter winds and sleet.
Only very minor points. The bed was slightly on the small size for us - we are used to a King. The combined living room/kitchen was hard to get warm in the evenings (around 2C outside when we were there), even using the wood burning stove. It was dark by 5 pm and we ended up watching a lot of TV (Saorview only) in the long evenings - but the 24" screen is quite small these days. Otherwise, make sure you bring a good book, although there is a well populated bookshelf. There's no shop within walking distance.
Lovely chalet, beside the beach, and with all mod-cons and plenty of space around for parking and the boys to play football. Julie was really welcoming and full of advice on places to go visit, or eat at. Could not recommend highly enough.
Convenience
Perfect location. Fantastic facilities, very clean and had all we needed for a relaxing break away. Loved the art work too.

Cosy and private with a homely feel :) Beautiful location!
lovely host - really friendly and helped us sort activities Amazing location right by the beach
The check-in was easy and the chalet was perfect, so clean and comfortable, with a well equipped kitchen and secure off street parking. It had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. It’s just a few steps away from a lovely beach, and close to shops, cafes, and a great pub. We loved our time here and would definitely stay here again. Highly recommend.
Location in relation to the beach was excellent. Our hosts were friendly and helpful.
Nothing.
very well laid out comfortable everything we needed near to the sea
such a beautiful little chalet, so bright and airy and so close to such a stunning beach. A really ideal quiet spot to 'check out' from the rushing around of normal life.
nothing
Superb beach house accommodation in an amazing location. The pub is a two minute walk one way, and the beach, cafe (amazing sausage rolls and croissants), coffee van and golf club a two minute walk the other. Lots of nice touches like plenty of towels (Including beach towels) toiletries and coffee pods for the machine. Vibrant town of Ardara is a ten minute drive away, with lots of pubs, shopping and cafes 10 minute walk to a lovely viewpoint up by the church. Great communication from the friendly hosts
Having to leave
Absolutely everything. There is nothing I can fault.
Nothing!
