No doubt about it the location of the Bayview is superb. The hotel staff, food and bar area I could not fault. I am aware that the hotel is family run and they are striving to update and modernise ( the bar/restaurant area a fine example), however the rooms do appear to be getting dated and an investment of new...

Had a very pleasant lunch, one very wet stormy day in January. We had a window seat and enjoyed watching the waves crash on the rocks. Food was nicely cooked and well presented. The staff were helpful and attentive. I erred on the side of caution and went for the fish and chips. All in all a good value place... More

The bayview overlooks the beautiful bay of Portballintrae. The village is full of very friendly people and the hotel is at the centre of all the local activities. The staff are extremely friendly and really try to assist and make your stay as comfortable as possible. The rooms are clean, and the bar and restaurant offers great atmosphere overlooking the...

We stayed here on 30 December 2011 during a trip to the North Antrim coast with friends. The rooms were good and very clean. We had dinner in the restaurant, a good meal. Afterwards we were just going to have one drink in the bar, however, as there was a wonderful musician playing the guitar and singing, we stayed until... More

I really could not complain about the food. Other reviewers have commented on the waiting time, and it is true that it does take a while to come... More

Stayed for a very good value £70 for 2 nights B&B. Room was great as was the food. The reception staff were very friendly. Only gripe is the time it takes for service. We arrived at our pre booked table at 7.30pm. Waited 45 minutes for our starter. The restaurant manageress however was apologetic. Would stay again on a special... More

Our stay in the Bayview can only be described as fantastic. The hotel is cosy, comfortable and homely. It is not a five star hotel but we enjoyed this weekend break more than any of our previous breaks either at home or abroad. We were exceptionally lucky with the weather, no rain all weekend which is quite unusual for N.... More

I just wanted to drop a line to say thank you to Trevor and all the team at The Bayview Hotel. I stayed for the weekend earlier this month as an early Christmas present, whilst combining the chance to meet my boyfriend's family. From greeting to leaving the service was warm, friendly and professional. The room was beautiful, cosy and... More
