베이뷰 호텔(Bayview Hotel)

We stayed four nights in this hotel while attending our daughter’s wedding and I can’t give enough plaudits to the staff regarding the service and attention that we received. Special mentions straight away to Isaac, Lorna and Tadhg. The food in the restaurant is magnificent, whether for breakfast, lunch or especially the evening dinner. We were lucky that the weather was excellent for the time of year and our sea view room, looking across the expanse of the bay, provided us with a magnificent vista. Sitting on the terrace outside in the sunshine with a glass of wine in the afternoon is the epitome of decadence. The wedding ceremony itself was held in the restaurant, with all furniture perfectly rearranged for that purpose. Afterwards, thanks to the hotel staff, it was all very relaxed for photographs and drinks before a delicious Wedding Reception dinner back in the restaurant again. Music and dancing later was conducted on a fantastic mobile/custom construct dance floor! All in all, a perfect wedding location, for a smaller group of guests.

We just returned home from a weekend at the Bayview Hotel for an anniversary treat. It was truly amazing as always! Staff were so friendly and helpful. Food is stunning, a real fine dining treat, lots of choice and lots of local ingredients! The bedrooms are newly refurbished and have a stunning view. Thanks to Isaac and Ciaran, we will be back. Highly recommend this hidden gem!!

I dont normally write reviews but having dined at the Bayview Hotel Ballycotton I felt that some exquiste dining should be recognised. Isaac the Maitre D welcomed us and brought us to a beautiful window table overlooking the spectacular Ballycotton Bay and introduced us to Jenny our waitress for the evening. Both Jenny and Sophie the other waitress were putting everyone at ease and detailing the menu. What a menu! The diversity of dishes, locally sourced sustainable food but above all the talent of Chef Ciaran Scully was evident ...and we were not disappointed. I would rate the starters alone that they are of the level of a Michelin tasting menu! The main courses we tried of filet of beef and lamb were exquisite and really novel in the accompaniments sich as lamb with capers and all accompanied by fine wines recommended with a background to their selection to accompany the meals...I could go on! Well done Ciaron and team...one of the best resturaunts in Cork!...My only regret is I should have taken a photo of the menu so as to get the meals names correct!

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.

This wonderful hote, looking out onto the Atlantic ocean, is a wonderful delight. From its old and quirky entrance to its magnificent bedrooms we enjoyed a couple of wonderful days here. The dinner menu was exceptional and deserves a Michelin star for its presentation and taste, from starters to mains. Breakfast was very good and a great variety of food available for all tastes. A little bit of maintenance and a splash of paint would enhance this jewel. The staff were more than helpful and professional. Can't wait to come back here. Thank you all.

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.

Having returned from an overnight stay in the bayview hotel, the highlight is the beautiful view and lovely staff. The rooms are extremely comfortable , some bathrooms have been updated also. The hotel has just reopened for its spring/ summer season, the restaurant wasnt operating yet so we ate in the village, I would recommend this hotel to anyone heading in this direction.

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!

Stayed in the Bayview for 2 nights early December 2023. We had a beautiful warm bedroom with stunning views of Ballycottom harbour and lighthouse and the setting for breakfast in the bay window was truly amazing. Every member of staff that we encountered were exceptionally friendly and helpful, in particular the welcome of the two ladies at reception and the barman with his attention to detail. We look forward to our next stay in the Bayview.
