Tigh Na Mara - Sandhead

Slightly disappointed when we arrived as the front of the building looks nice and traditional but the car park behind was full of trailers and other detritus, and the rear of the building ugly pebbledash with extensive flat roofs and plastic doors and windows. The rooms are modern and clean. The service was good and friendly although the England-South Africa rugby was on in the bar that evening and everyone including the bar staff were cheering on the SA team in a obvious display of anti-English hatred. The food was generally good, with a couple of exceptions. Overall not a bad stay barring the rugby, and the rooms are not expensive.

Avoid if you are not a local, bar woman purposefully ignoring everyone in our group at the bar, literally took a local every time to ask the bar woman to serve us as she was avoiding eye contact and only serving who she knew. Karaoke was on as it was the Halloween party, however, again this was run by all the locals in the pub who would just go up and play whatever songs they wanted, staff and owner took no responsibility, so was more or less an extended house party going up and playing whatever song you wanted, cancelling the songs we requested. We therefore left and went home to play our own tunes. Advice to staff.. in future advertise your parties as ‘local only’ as that is clearly the vibe that you are giving off !!!
