A beautiful place.

Had a lovely stay at The Bay hotel. When we arrived we got a free upgrade, because noone had booked the room. The food was delicious and the service great. Friendly staff. The hotel has a magnificent garden and surroundings. Rooms were clean.

Stunning location

Lovely hotel in a beautiful spot. We had a Seaview room on the second floor which was lovely but quite small. I would expect, for the price, there to be complimentary water in the room but there wasn’t. Dinner was superb. It was a job sometimes to get served, there weren’t many staff around. Could have done with a little more attention at breakfast.

Relaxing quiet hotel with lovely garden area with lawn chairs overlooking the ocean. Friendly helpful staff. Excellent cream tea. Loved that the hotel was right on the South West Coast Path. Two major complaints. Firstly no working wifi in my room for all three days of my stay despite staff trying to fix it is just not acceptable these days. Secondly, tiny double beds way too small for two people and meant my wife and I slept poorly our entire stay.

We arrived at the Bay Hotel and were welcomed warmly. We were given all of the necessary information and it was clear nothing was too much trouble. Our room was lovely, clean and fresh with the most amazing view! We went out for Dinner but did have a few drinks in the onsite bar where we were able to relax in comfort. We would 100% recommend this hotel!

Bay Hotel Coverack

I had a superb stay, friendly, helpful staff and superb food. I enjoyed a delicious afternoon tea in the garden overlooking Coverack beach in glorious sunshine. My attic room had a magnificent view and was clean, tidy and well equiped. My only negative comment would be that the ceiling height in my bedroom was very low in places and beams coming in at all angles meaning that I hit my head on a few occasions particularly in the bathroom.
