Bayview Hotel

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 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.

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 ) .

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.

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