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.

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

Nice hotel in quaint small town
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.
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.

Stayed in this beautiful hotel with my partner recently and loved everything about it. Staff were so friendly, a big shout out to Marie on reception, she's a jem. Rooms spotless and comfortable. We had dinner in the bar, it was nice but steak very fatty and potatoes were a bit cold. A choice of fillet would be nice instead of ribeye. Other than that it was lovely. We will return.

Amazing Find!
We had no idea where we were going! This place is way out of the way but so worth it! It’s a beautiful hotel in an amazing setting right by the bay. We walked down the hill for about 10 minutes and found a nice pub. Make sure a take the cliff walk high above the Atlantic Ocean. It’s an amazing view! The room was so comfortable I had a hard time gettting my wife out of bed! Neither one of us wanted to leave! Would stay here again and again!

Gorgeous spot overlooking the ocean!
Enjoyed 2 nights at Bayview during our 5 week trip through Ireland, England and Scotland. This was one of our favorite spots! Although the place isn't brand shiny new, it is in wonderful condition and has been kept very clean. We spent hours enjoying the sunshine and view from the terrace restaurant/bar and had wonderful meals in the dining room. If we lived closer, these 2 Canadians would come back for sure!

Location Location Location
Location is truly everything. Stunning views of the bay (we had the end of a rainbow right outside our front), light house and cliff walk. Food was limited but stunning. Choices of fish were based on what that day. Pubs within walking distance were great. The rooms were comfortable and the soaps, shampoos and body oils are locally made. The hotel is a little hard to get too but that means no tour buses.

Disappointed
10th July booked into Bay view Hotel. On arrival Fri 28th not expecting us. "Just a glitch".Booked twin beds. Offered double bed.Apology 1 out of ten. Then given accommodation in sister hotel. Accommodation as booked. Repeat apology very poor. This all added 50mins to our disappointment.

A Litte Gem in Ireland!
We stayed at this hotel for a week and loved every minute of it. The location is amazing - overlooking the small harbor and sea, and to the right a lighthouse on a small island - postcard beautiful. The staff were friendly and always professional - I loved that housekeeping never once knocked on our door to hurry us up in the morning.We never ate dinner in the dining room, but had the breakfast- am amazing selection for the start of the day.I cant wait to go back!
