10/10 Exceptional

The hotel is in a lovely position by the sea. It is very quiet and the twin room was big. The beds are very very comfortable and we both had a good night's sleep. There was a wide range of hot food to order for breakfast as well as cereal, toast and fruit. We'd definitely stay here again.

Amazing Bothany Bay Hotel

A lovely hotel with beautiful surroundings. Nothing was too much trouble to ask the staff. Had a sea view room with a balcony with outside seating. Plenty of parking spaces. Food in the restaurant and bar was amazing. A great 2 night break.

Excellent view

Well located hotel with excellent view. generally speaking friendly, clean, comfortable hotel, I like very much.however, I witnessed frictions between guests and member of stuff and I felt waiter/ waitress need further training to learn how to handle difficult problems with customers. I wish they had much thinner duvet for hot summer and do not allow dogs for the braekfast room.

Overnight

The hotel has a great position and large car car park. Check in was easy and receptionist was friendly. However decor ahowing aigns of wear and tear. Bathroom requires re decoration and grout around tiles in window light need attention. Due to building being mainly wooden, neighbours can be heard. Alao note.tbis hotel.is dog friendly and animals are allowed in restaurant. Breakfast is cooked to order and was tasty but service was very slow considering only 3 others.tables seated on our arrival

Great location and views outstanding

Very nice place and lovely views and walks for dogs. Staff friendly and breakfast was good. A bit pricy for food but due to the location probably expected.

One night at Botany Bay

Room was comfortable and sufficient for what we needed but i felt we were paying for the location of the hotel rather than the quality of it and we were looking out on to a courtyard where the noise started about 0615 on the Saturday morning. Restaurant staff were excellent

Botany Bay Hotel

We arrived Monday for three night stay. The Superior Room with Sea View was exactly as shown, light with balcony overlooking the sea. Well worth the money spent. Breakfast was spot on with lots of choice. Mary who looked after the rooms was very engaging, friendly and kind. She also helped rescue a seagull fledgling stuck on the balcony. Very good service in large bar/eating area. Thank you very much, looking forward to returning for another stay.

10/10 Exceptional

Hotel lovely location overlooking the sea. Nice quiet location with bar and restaurant. Fish and chips was massive however wasn’t great thought it would be amazing as seaside location but no flavour however the Caesar salad looked amazing. Beds super comfy and everything you need in the room. Great stay overall.
