Used tripadvisor to source a restaurant for sunday lunch and chose this venue. Weather on the day was miserable, rain and cold wind!!!! (Sounds like the UK). We booked so as to ensure a table. Arrived early, 10 mins. Ordered drinks from the barman who seemed rather nonplussed at the idea of serving us. Sat in the conservatory, great views.... More

We had booked this hotel when we thought our cousins from Canada were coming and they wanted a "characterful" hotel. Unfortunately they were unable to travel under medical advice and we had to cancel their room. The hotel was very helpful about this and we were not charged for their lost business so we came alone. The setting is magical... More

This is a lovely place to relax, with all the comfort you need. The food is excellent and the staff very friendly and helpful. The restaurant manager was very attentive to my dietary requirements (which I had advised in advance) and I did appreciate this. My single room was on the small side but adequate for my needs.

Recently had a short stay at this hotel. It is situated in an idyllic location close to the end of a long, mostly single track cul-de-sac. The front of the hotel is on the shingle beach and the soft lapping of waves at high tide can be heard in the front bedrooms. All public rooms and the bedroom my wife... More

What a wonderful property & setting, just a pity that the gentleman behind the bar didn't seem to understand the concept of hospitality - perhaps he just prefers residents. The pasta was cold and the coffee was so weak it didn't need the requested hot water. Had it been busy you could have overlooked these things.

Recently enjoyed a fantastic lunch at the Balcary Bay Hotel. Wonderful fresh food, beautifully prepared in a fantastic setting. Service was first rate too. Would thoroughly recommend this hotel for food and I will certainly consider staying a weekend there.
