We were staying at this hotel on a work trip absolutely beautiful and quaint hotel in the Bay of Coverack. Very picturesque little town, our rooms had sea views which made the stay even better. The staff and people of this place were so nice and friendly can't say enough about them. Extremely warm and welcoming. Will be going back again in the future. The food was excellent as good as any London restaurant.

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.

Wonderful hotel

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!
