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.

Great hotel off the beaten path. Excellent breakfast. Close enough to the water that we could hear the surf from our room in the evening.

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.

Barhroon needs a remodel and update.

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.

Bayview is special

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!

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.
