Restaurant Review only as we did not stay there Although very busy we were made welcome and attended by polite & helpful staff. A good varied menu and no problem having a selection of starters as a main course to... More

Had dinner at The Bay while on holiday in Downings, we booked the restaurant on the first night as it was a Saturday. When we arrived we were informed there was a wedding on, and when we entered the restaurant we found it so busy, there was a large group of golfers and a 50th anniversary party. I said to... More

Great place for a wedding. The staff were very friendly and the food was great. The rooms are spacious and clean. Our friends room had a broken press and mirror but it was excusable for the great price and brilliant stay. I'd recommend it and will probably stay again.

Downings has several hotels including The Beach Hotel almost next door. Midweek at the end of April 2013 only two of the forty rooms were occupied but don't be put off as the accommodation is very good and there is a modern lift if you are on the first or second floor. As others have commented the bedrooms are very... More
