The Bayview Hotel

Second time visiting Bayview. Always feels like home from home. Special shout out goes to Myra who was super friendly and provided excellent service. Breakfast was lovely. Room was spacious, friendly staff, toiletries provided were Rituals which was lovely and a nice touch! Will be returning soon

We booked this hotel for the location and the ocean view, and it turned out to be a great stop along the Causeway Coast. There was some type of event going on the night we were there, so it was quite crowded at the restaurant and bar and extremely noisy outside our window until about 1 am. If you are looking for peace and quiet, this may not be the place. If you want a lively hotel bar scene in the evening this will fit the bill. Perhaps our experience was unique; I assume this hotel is much busier in the summer months. Lots of pros - plenty of free parking, decent dinner at the restaurant, large room with comfy beds, modern bathroom, good breakfast, great ocean view. Minimal cons - no air conditioning (the norm in Ireland), had to leave the window open to a large crowd partying outside, felt rushed through dinner by wait staff (but they were very busy). I would probably book here again if we were to return in shoulder season; might avoid in June-July-August.

This is one of the best small Hotels I have ever stayed in. Location is excellent - 5-10 mins walk from the town centre and with stunning views of the sea and the ferries sailing past yet so quiet and peaceful. Irene greeted me on arrival and explained to me how things work. Her and Andrew were extremely attentive and have thought of just about everything. I stayed for two nights in a lovely clean cosy single room with gorgeous sea views. The breakfast was amazing. Nice touches were toiletries, a robe and hair straighteners. I am already planning my next trip to Rothesay and can't wait to book into the Bayview again.
