Very enjoyable. Will be back.
Pros:

It was very central, staff were very friendly. It was close to nice restaurants like Naughtons.

Cons:

Didn’t like the shower being in the bath as I’ve a hip replacement, so wouldn’t stay in that room again. We would book a sea view and a full length shower.

Warm, comfy, affordable, great food & location
Pros:

Warm, friendly welcome: comfy, warm room, excellent location, tasty dinner & breakfast.

Cons:

At one stage the staff seemed to be more interested in re setting the table (with no one waiting for a table) rather than serving out drinks!

Bay View Hotel Perfectly Charming and Delicious!
Pros:

The family room comfortably held our family of four including teens. The staff was incredibly friendly upon check in and check out. Our breakfast was included and it was amazing! A mix of a tea tray of goodies and hot options to choose from was the perfect start to our day sightseeing. The town is quaint and perfect location after visiting the cliffs. In addition we ate dinner at the hotel and it was rated by my family as the best meal of our entire week in all of Ireland, so well done. I highly recommend this property.

Cons:

Nothing-our expectations were exceeded.

Great breakfast but very poor room
Pros:

Delicious breakfast.

Cons:

No sockets beside the bed. Only two in the room, one half way up a wall inside the door and the other down on the skirting board. The wardrobe was only the size of a kitchen press and also contained the kettle so it was not possible to hang clothes. Very poor windows that let in the cold and noise.
