I was at a wonderful concert on Friday last in the Bantry Bay Hotel. The venue was absolutely beautiful. Candles around the oak panelled wall, with the musicians at top of the room surrounded by antique boats and ship lanterns. A wonderful night of Irish music, sad ballads and hilarious stories and songs. I returned the next day for lunch... More

This hotel in Bantry Bay Ireland has great rooms, great price, a good restaurant and wonderful front desk service by Margaret. The included breakfast was excellent. Convenient location on the waterfront and near major attractions such as Bantry Manor House. Easy parking.

This is a family run hotel and very friendly, all of the staff were very helpful and polite. The rooms are old fashioned but were spotless - very 1980s/90s decor and the common areas had been recently painted. You can't beat the location and Bantry is a lovely town to stroll around and to base yourself for trips around West... More

We stayed at this hotel in April. We found the staff to be very helpful and friendly. We were also very satisfied with the bar food. The breakfast was freshly cooked, and the hotel also catered for one of the party, who was on a gluten free diet, with gluten free bread etc. The accommodation was very clean and comfortable....

Bantry is such a beautiful town, a west cork treasure. Thoroughly enjoyed our time, will definitely be back. Variety of quaint shops with something to offer all tastes. The Bantry Bay is a wonderful family run hotel in the town centre with lovely views of the bay and walking distance to the waters edge. Beautiful walk ways within minutes.

We were looking for somewhere to eat in Bantry and the restaurant we were heading for was not open when we got there so we decided, as we had never had a duff lunch in the Bantry Bay Hotel bar, that we would see what was on the menu for dinner. We were immediately shown to our seat by a... More
