We had a lovely time, the house has everything you could need. Well equipped kitchen, great WiFi. Sadly it was all too hot to spend time in the lovely garden, but a bbq and charcoal was provided. There were fans in the house, which were very welcome. We will definitely visit again.

We loved staying at Sandrock. It was comfortable, spacious and had plenty of room for the dogs to run around in the garden. It is perfectly located for some beautiful shady walks with the dogs too, whether through the lanes into the town or up to Grammar Woods. It is situated in an ideal location for travelling to other places on the island. We would love to visit again.
