Bayview Hotel

When booking I left a note to say it was my dad's birthday - when he went into the room there was balloons and a card - lovely touch.

No issues.

I liked Fiona who answered the phone and was polite and as helpful as can be. The view from our breakfast table.

The ladies at reception were not all that friendly and seemed bothered at check in. They could smile and make you feel welcomed. It was bayview and we viewed the parking lot from an awkward disabled room. The sheets were somewhat stained and the towels were actually rough and grey. It was gross. For one night, we delt with it and moved on. The onsite restaurant was not good. I can say it was clean as the waitress whipped out a dust buster next to people eating to dustbust the shelves and knick knack area. Food was not good and coffee was worse. Breakfast was cold scrambled eggs cooked to order but I didn’t order cold toast, cold eggs and a vat of instant coffee. I realize this sounds harsh but what we paid for the room was extremely disappointing after staying for nearly the same price in a Donegal hotel that treated you like family and you received the royal treatment.

Great locationGreat staffGood restaurant

I liked everything. The room was spacious and had a wonderful view of the sea, and the waves were crashing on the shore and rocks. Had GF corn flakes and soya milk with fresh fruit salad and coffee. The next morning, I had the same plus poached eggs and bacon. In the evenings, we had dinner at the hotel, and because of my food intolerances and the foods I don't eat anyway, I was able to omit certain items from the set menu. The staff couldn't have been more accommodating. Two photos were taken from the balcony of our room. We went to Derry for the day by train from Coleraine. 40 min journey: £15 return. Lovely day walking around the city.

Lovely comfortable hotel, beautiful location. Food in the restaurant was lovely. Very cosy bar and restaurant.

The location was perfect, the views of the ocean were gorgeous. Room clean and presentable and was cosy and warm.

Only thing I’d say is when I booked an ocean view room the picture came up as above however the room we got was smaller but still had the views

View was amazing, especially in the morning.Breakfast was good, very friendly staff.Dinner was actually a highlight - I did not expect such a nice experience in a small village.

Bed was not the most comfortable. There was no way to increase heating more than 22C.

Location great. Beautiful walks along the coast. Hotel very homely, loved the ritual toiletries in the room. Breakfast absolutely delicious

Everything was excellent - location, staff, room , food. 10/10

The room was really nice and the views of the ocean were amazing!

Stayed 2 nights. Had a recurring issue with the heat being on.

The Bayview Hotel was absolutely fabulous!!! From the moment we arrived, the staff were helpful and accommodating, the room was spotlessly clean and luxurious, the bed was unbelievably comfortable, the views were spectacular, the food ( breakfast and dinner ).....delicious!! It was beyond a 10/10!! Thank you to all the staff at Bayview Hotel who made our time in Portballintrae, and the hotel, such a wonderful experience. Cheers to all of you!!

I didn't like having to leave!!

Everything was wonderful. Beautiful view from bedroom and when dinning. Food was delicious. Staff lovely. Especially the breakfast staff. 1 older lady really made us feel so welcome and brightened our day.

Everything. Perfect location, fantastic food, spotlessly clean and comfortable room. The staff went above and beyond and made sure we had food and coffee to take with us as we had to leave before the breakfast start time. Cannot fault and will be back but will stay longer next time.

Food at the hotel was very good, staff were excellent. Worth paying for a sea view room.

A choice of soft or hard pillows would have been nice.
