Bayview Hotel

End of September nite away birthday present for my mum Lovely comfortable relaxed old world charm seaview hotel Friendly staff and Reception Spectacular setting Seaview room with fabulous vista comfy kingsize bed and big TV Bathroom very dated however and needs modernising with new bath or shower. Thankfully we had spa treatment booked at Castlemartyr resort nearby following next morning and use of leisure facilities. A La carte fine dining evening meal however was top notch at Bayview Hotel and thoroughly enjoyable. Great service. Irish cuisine with french twist. Lamb done 3 ways was sensational. Duck fillet was tender and juicy cooked to perfection. Very decadent! Breakfast next morning was delicious but service was a bit slow moving and somewhat delayed. Unfortunately my elderly mother decided to use lift instead of taking the stairs to get to the room on our arrival. It wasnt a nice experience! She did notice horrible acrid stale strange metallic like odour like burnt rust or metal when inside the lift or elevator and the carpet was tired and very worn ,disappointing for such a beautiful hotel. When was the last time it was serviced? Nevertheless we were determined to not let it spoil our trip away. The room and food and Seaviews more than made up for it!

Beautiful setting with pleasant staff. The food was excellent and the rooms were well finished and very comfortable. The hotel.is showing some signs of age. Beautiful sea views. Breakfast was nice but personally I would have liked more. Well worth a visit.

The hotel has a musty smell and is very old fashioned. It's all different height's of buildings added on to each other, It badly needs to be knocked and a new modern, clean, bright hotel built in it's place. The dining room is very old fashioned, dark and over priced. The bedrooms have a musty smell. It's such a pity that the hotel is so disappointing as it is a stunning location with such beautiful views. The hotel would remind you of faulty towers.
