Everything already said about the location is spot on. Wish we had organised our stay here for more than 1 night. We had a non-ocean facing family room but it did not matter. There are tables and chairs out the front and we utiised them in the evening after the beautiful meal from The Edge right over the road from... More

My family & I stayed for 1 night only. with 2 rooms. Wow... what a magic placethe gentleman & " Dino" (the beautiful beautiful dog) welcomed us and made us feel very much at home. The room was very clean and made up beautiful only to have it topped off by the spectacular view from the balcony. Breakfast was great... More

The Bay Hotel is as other reviews testify, probably the best in the area of Port Isaac. The location is perfect and the views from the balcony of our room were spectacular. The owner and his staff were very pleasant and the breakfast was cooked to perfection. The hotel is over 100 years old, however, and from my understanding was... More

We recently spent one night at The Bay Hotel having walked along the Coastal Path from Boscastle and we were really tired and found a beautifully situated hotel with a comfortable room which was just what we needed after a long days walking. The breakfast was very tasty and Gino was a delight and we would not hesitate to book... More

This was a birthday treat to my partner. We decided to book 4 nights as Port Isaac is a long drive from our Suffolk home. The Bay Hotel turned out to be a home away from home. Paul, the owner, was very friendly and accomodating and cooked a wonderful breakfast. His equally friendly assistants, Sherry and another young lady, provided... More

We stayed for a few days and found this to be a charming place. The owner and his staff couldn't have been friendlier, the room (11) was lovely with great views, and the breakfast was fresh and plentiful. Sadly, I couldn't find a way to smuggle Gino into our car when we left even if there had been room! More

We were delighted to find 2 lovely rooms in this hotel and were made very welcome by Paul and Gino (the incredibly well-behaved Great Dane). The rooms were very nicely decorated and comfortable and the sea view gorgeous. Not luxurious - but extremely good value. Paul and his staff were really helpful, particularly good since we had my 102 yr-old... More

My husband and I spent a couple of days at the Bay Hotel, following our wedding. The room (room 5) was lovely and the views breathtaking!! The owner Paul, and the dog, Gino were very welcoming. Paul was always on hand to help or answer any queries we had. The breakfast was lovely too, nothing was too much trouble. Port... More

We spent Easter weekend at the Bay Hotel using it as a base for the various plans we had during our 3 day visit. It is well located and first impressions were good. A typical british B&B. Room no.7 was nice but with a few niggles: Only 1 of 3 lightbulbs working in ceiling lamp, the bathroom could have been... More
