Staff were very friendly and it’s in a beautiful setting. The only issue was the noise that could be heard through the walls and above from other rooms. Appreciate not too much you can do in an older hotel, as that was the way the hotel was built. But be prepared that you can hear people, so it doesn’t give a restful night. Saying that though, we had a lovely stay. Nice good in the restaurant and the breakfast was of a very high standard.

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.

Beautiful setting, staff were so helpful, polite and smiley - could not fault them. Food very good. Bed could have been a little more comfortable and shower dripped all night. Bath too narrow for me to shower properly -felt unsafe standing in the bath.

We had a wonderful stay here and would highly recommend the hotel. The staff were attentive and friendly. Reception lady Laura was lovely and the perfect welcome. The breakfast has great options and good quality. The restaurant and bar again have great options. Lovely views. Nice coastal walks in your doorstep and nearby hot spots. The room was decent, clean, and tidy. We will be sure to come back again in the future.

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.

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
