The view from the Bay Hotel over Ballycotton Bay and the lighthouse is exceptional. We loved spending a quiet evening to ourselves in the living room on the second floor, reading a book with a glass of wine after a busy day walking the cliff loop. The floor to ceiling window provided a viewpoint that made you feel you were almost in the sea! We had dinner in the restaurant on Saturday evening and it was delicious. Excellent service, excellent staff, excellent location, lovely room; I highly recommend the Bay Hotel for a short break.

Everything was perfect.

Delicious breakfast, interesting options. Location fantastic if you like a slow relaxed pace. Basking sharks circling in the water just under our window and steps and a path down to the coastline if you fancied a bit of rockpooling or getting closer to the basking sharks. Great little enclosed garden for games or family fun. There was a wedding booked in for Saturday and the capacity for full family togetherness was just brilliant, the openness and safety combined to make this quite a special find for those with children. And for those leaving the kids behind, it offered tranquility, wonderful views, a cliff walk, good pubs and if you time it right, a music gig at Sea Church 🤩

Could have used a little dewintering on the outside of the property.

Everything about this stay was exceptional. Staff were extremely hospitable. On the first night, I needed a quick lift up the village to Sea Church for a gig. The receptionist (Suzanne?) tried as many numbers as possible to secure a lift, and while we could not secure one, she went the extra mile to try to do so. Later that night, Denis the night porter was very hospitable and helpful, and is probably the most knowledgeable man in Ballycotton! The breakfast was outstanding, with a wide ranging cold buffet and great hot options. I did not catch the staff members' names at breakfast but they were very kind and provided excellent service. The room was stunning with a fabulous view over the bay and of the lighthouse. Very comfy. Overall great location, great hotel. 10/10.

N.A,

It was a lovely place to stay and had a flight. The next day just definitely took all the boxes.

The rooms could be dusted and there were a couple holes in the walls by the switches but apart from that it was all good. The afternoon dinner was very awesome but when I went to have breakfast it was cold. Maybe if you got there earlier it might be a lot more hotter, apart from that I enjoyed my stay. I’ll definitely come back again.

The Dinner was exceptional , with flavours that had to be savoured . Best meal we've had in many years ! The staff were all very professional , and the younger servers were exceptionally polite and attentive.( well done to them ) .

All good no complaints , although a few biscuits by the coffee machine would have been nice .

The view was amazing, and the rooms, patio, lounge and restaurant seemed to be arranged to take full advantage of this. Was such a lovely experience -- we were there for our 1st wedding anniversary and will be back in future. Possibly an annual return! The dinner was exceptional as well. Also liked that the location and food felt luxurious, but was not at all aloof or snooty. We were always comfortable and the people working at the hotel and restaurant were warm and welcoming.

The bed was a little firm, but that's a personal preference issue. The sheets were lovely.

The property is in an ideal spot . Near the pier in Ballycotton if you would like to do a bit of fishing or parking your boat. It has a brilliant view of ballycotton light house. You can park your car on site and walk to all the other amenities in Ballycotton.

Everything here was beautiful.

The team are fabulous, nothing too much trouble. Rooms are exceptionally good since the refurb and the views are of course stunning.

Ah, those showers.... they could do with a little attention... the only thing that isn't top notch. And if I'm being picky, can you move the blinding floodlight in the car park, it's tricky to see where you're going when this is at eye level.

Location and the ‘Bay’ view and the staff were very friendly and helpful!

I understand that it is an old property and that rooms have to conform as such but our window was very small and we couldn’t own it fully- again aware of health and safety rules…

Everything , location , views ,terrace ,weather , food , staff were excellent 👌

Very sm complaints , do hotels not know that there are SUMMER DUVETS available !!!!!!Beds far too hot 🔥. Pillows a little like bricks , far too firm .
