Wonderful stay
Pros:

The room we stayed in was great. Very spacious and comfortable with a great view of the wee harbour. Staff were very friendly and polite and the food was fantastic. What's not to like. Would recommend to anyone.

Superb dinner in heavenly setting
Pros:

On a recent visit home with some friends who were visiting Northern Ireland for the first time we had a large family group for dinner . The food, service and standards were all excellent . The Bayview is beautifully decorated and the view from the dining and bar area is truly stunning. A must visit if you are in the area . Thank you Bayview staff for a memorable evening .
