My partner and I stayed here in october in room 15. It was meant to be the highlight of our stay but unfortunately for us it didn't meet expectations. Issues with the shower and overall water pressure only to be told there was an airlock we weren't informed of, a lack of heating on arrival and no explanation how to turn it on, a dead fly on the bathroom windowsill and worst of all the bathroom bin hadn't been emptied. Although the bin was then cleaned after we notified them, this and the other issues left us very disappointed in particular as this not very covid friendly and made us worry about

Stunning location. The Spanish waiter was fantastic - Basil would be proud! The view from our suite was incredible. However the decor was a little bland and could be easily made more boutique style with a few modifications. There was a lot of door slamming noise throughout our stay - this could be rectified by the hotel. Breakfast was incredible - ten out of ten!

Stopped on three separate occasions to just sit in the garden with a tea or coffee. On each occasion the tea or coffee has been weak or wishy washy and not up to hotel standards. Cannot fault the staff or the wonderful views out to sea from the garden but shame about the drinks as they were disappointing.

A very lovely hotel. The receptionists are very welcoming and friendly. Beautiful seaviews. The rooms are very, very nice. Very clean. Comfortable beds. Nice showers. Very quiet and relaxing. The little village of Coverack is a short easy walk from the hotel. The restaurant tables are arranged so all get the Seaview. The food is excellent! … The wait servers are the best! A specialty dessert is the roasted fig with blue Cornish custard and celery! Absolutely delicious AND healthy! If you are looking for a lovely, quaint hotel the Bay Hotel is the place for you.
