Mesmerising
I had an amazing experience at this hotel. The staff were extremely helpful, and the overall comfort was excellent. It’s not very modern, but it has such a unique charm. There’s something about the aura of this place that feels out of this world — I truly did not want to leave. The tranquility and the calm view of the sea are absolutely mesmerising.
It was so lovely, wish we were staying more than one night and definitely going to come back in the summer time. The hotel is so well kept, you wouldn't know it's 100+ years old. The rooms were pristine and the oceanic views from the windows are sublime. Can't wait to come back!
Gorgeous spot, we had an unusually sunny evening and had the place to ourselves - it was a Monday - 10 minutes drive to Ballymaloe cookery school and shop, don’t miss it! Jade was at reception and was very helpful and friendly. Room was lovely, you couldn’t top the view, between the harbour, lighthouse and ocean it was spectacular. Had dinner at the hotel restaurant, it was excellent. Will definitely stay again.
This hotel had a fabukous view but the bathroom was old, damp dingy and dirty. For the price we would of expected a much better place to get cleaned up in.
Revisited the Bay View after many years. On earlier visit had been very impressed but on this occasion we were disappointed by the lack of cleanliness in the room. Manager acted promptly to change our room. However refurbishment seems long overdue. The dining/ food was excellent and staff friendly. But in terms of rating 4 stars it is not. 3 stars more appropriate and rooms very overpriced.
Séjour agréable vue mer dégagée
Excellent établissement plein de charme et a la décoration soignée. Au-dessus de la moyenne des établissements de cette catégorie.
Regret que le restaurant soit ferme et non mentionné sur le site.
Insonorisation un peu mince
Personnel irréprochable et attentionné. Très haute qualité pour ce lieu de repos. De loin un des meilleurs 4 étoiles que j ai côtoyé en Irlande.
Disappointing, Standards gave slipped. Kettle not working, tall lamp not working, I had to clean the toilet bowl. No toilet roll on the roll holder . Food was very expensive. Won’t be going back unfortunately
I enjoyed my welcome from reception my large room tho next time would try for doors and balcony. Terrace great with wonderful views. Exceptional service in forwarding the chargers I had left behind. Thx !
The location was excellent but this hotel was expensive, food and drink, in particular, was expensive. e.g. a glass of wine €9 a tiny portion of desert €9.50. The room we were staying in had a tiny window which left our room very dark even on a bright day. We had to drive 15 mins in the car to use a pool in another hotel. When we asked at reception for a room with a bigger window to appreciate the view we were told that would cost us 0ver €200 more. So overall we were disappointed
Very nice hotel in a very small town. Can walk to everything. Spacious rooms well appointed and right on the water so great view. Only negative was that carpet was somewhat soiled. We didn't eat or drink here as frequented the local establishments so no comment on these operations. Clientele seemed a bit on the older side.
Nothing beats the location, with the wonderful view of the water, the lighthouse, and the pier and seawall. Just a brief walk to the pier, the cliffs and to town. Staff was friendly and helpful. The rooms were clean and the beds were comfortable, although the bathrooms could use some updating.
Really enjoyed stay, very clean and very good service, excellent food. What I did not like is that it advertised a pool and a spa area with photos which in fact is not on site which but is avail right with a sister hotel some 10km away..
Seaside property with beautiful views. Menu was too fancy for me, but I am not a fancy eater. They have a kid's menu so that made dinner easier for our young one.
