Reviews for The Bay Horse Hotel And Restaurant
Review 1：Really friendly staff and host Leslie brilliant, nice comfy bed best hotel I have been in for years. there willingness to please which was a surprise. Thanks for looking after me guys.

Review 3：NOT THE HOTELS FAULT WAS DARK WHEN I ARRIVED AND WITH ROADWORKS TRICKY TO FIND
Review 4：ROOM TEMP SPOT ON FOOD WAS FIRST CLASS SERVICE WAS SPOT ON LIKED THE TURN DOWN TOUCH WASN'T EXPECTED
Review 5：the meals wer only served at certain times thru the day and if u wanted an evening meal u had to book before 7.30 and eat at 8, never heard of that before!
Review 6：the hotel had a nice cosy bar an the food was gud. the patio area was nice to look out on the estuary an sit out at nite..
Review 7：Shabby but not shabby chic. No food until evening dinner. Pub rooms not hotel rooms and very small rooms poor value.Dissapointed that the balcony was communal balcony. Bathroom very tired decor ..being retiled next week.
Review 8：room a bit small for the amount charged £120
Review 9：the room was very comfortable but a little on the small side but any faults with the room were far outweighed by the great food we were served at both meals we ate during our one night stay
Review 10：Room in need of redecoration / refurbishment as quite dated but nevertheless very clean.
Review 11：Staff was really friendly and helpfull, nice cosy atmosphere. Location very good for people with a dog as they can run around the beach or go for a nice walk along the canal.
Review 12：Room had been damp at some time and hadn't been rectified properly so it smelled mouldy. Same too of the carpet at the front door . Things can always leak but these things do need fixing properly.
Review 13：Dining was really good. Evening meal was superb and breakfast was brilliant too. Its location was brilliant
Review 14：Really enjoyable overnight. We nearly missed booking the hotel as it is not featured on the Morecambe Bay cycle website!
Review 15：Food is prepared by an excellent chef at the hotel (even the jams & lemon curd at breakfast). Top notch evening meal & wines. Highly recommended. Great views from the restaurant.
Review 16：The room we stayed in had damp issues,they weren't very forthcoming to sort it,found the heater in the room on our last night was arcing in the wiring,as great as the location was we won't be returning
Review 17：It was a very relaxed and beautiful location,
Review 18：The hotel was pretty old and run down. My room was furnished to attract 'older residents'. The hotel reception is behind the bar in the pub with threw me as it does not advertise itself as a pub but rather a hotel and restaurant.
Review 19：The location was amazing and the staff very friendly. The meals (dinner and breakfast) were fantastic.
Review 20：N/A
Review 21：we totally loved the place. It was our first holiday with our puppy and the hosts were super welcoming, attentive to our needs and comprehensive with a cheeky jack russell. The food was exceptional! It's the second place where I have eaten so well in my entire life - and my boyfriend is a French chef. View was great and the place just right to relax with no noise around.
Review 22：We got a room at the end of the corridor called Widgeon (the rooms are named after birds). When we first got into the room it smelt of cigarettes, even though the room was meant to be non smoking. The receptionist who showed us the room acknowledged the fact that someone must've been smoking in the room. Nothing was done about it. There were no other rooms available. The room was also very damp. It smelt like mould. It was very unpleasant.
Review 23：The breakfast was really good. A lot of choices were given. The breakfast platter is very delicious and filling.
Review 24：We couldn't believe the views what a hidden gem. You wouldn't believe you were behind an industrial estate. Beautiful absolutely charming. Staff were really helpful and friendly. Just such a calming place . We will come again.
Review 25：When you were having your meals both breakfast and evening meal staff had been in the room and turned back bed sheets and tidied up in the room. We thought this was a bit invasive of our privacy.
Review 26：Peace and tranquillity, the view, the food was brillant
Review 27：The key chain was a bit klonky. Made noise. Also no way of locking the door without the key.
Review 28：The view of the bay!!! Wonderful and the balcony was perfect. The sheets were clean and they washed my pajamas when requested washing. The breakfast view is amazing too.
Review 29：superb food with lots of lovely detail and touches eg delicious homemade rolls of interesting flavours, delicious dessert looked almost too good to eat-but I did! being picky, I would have liked another fish dish on the menu
Review 30：A lovely hotel in a quiet scenic position. Very friendly staff, and excellent food. The room was very comfortable, and it was nice to have a balcony to sit outside. Nice walk along the canal.
Review 31：A few faulty items in bedroom (loose tap, faulty light) Rooms are a little small (but we knew that when booking) Dining times are set rather than flexible
Review 32：Excellent food Superb views Pet friendly Balcony
Review 33：Bedroom was not the best. Bed was not very comfortable and the bathroom was cramped. Thought it was a little expensive for what you got.
Review 34：Nice location very peaceful with great views. Great breakfast and friendly staff.
Review 35：The room seemed smaller than in the advertised photos and got very hot during the night - bed was uncomfortable and not quite double size; not a particularly clean place, noticed spiderwebs both in the room and restaurant; towels smelled weird and the way in which they were thrown on the rack made me suspicious if they were freshly washed or not; small hand towel was actually visibly used before our arrival; noisy drunk guests on the common terrace ruined the tranquility of the place; waited a bit too long for a coffee in the morning - which was frustrating as there was no one else to be served and we were in a hurry. I'd come back just for the nice view and to try other things on the menu at the restaurant.
Review 36：The view from the terrace was okay - not particularly stunning but okay; the food at the restaurant was good - I wouldn't rate it extraordinary as in the other reviews but then I might be exigent myself and used with very good chefs; the staff was friendly.
Review 37：Some may be concerned that staff enter rooms in the evening and whilst you have breakfast.
Review 38：Food and drink excellent, the staff most helpful, and the views from the hotel are a revelation, after driving passed the nearby industrial estate.
Review 39：The staff were polite but we felt pressured into weather we wanted to eat in Bay horse over our stay, it was the first thing we were asked when we arrived, should put menu online with prices as most people would look before arriving. Food is very expensive and was not really our type of menu, cheaper to get taxi into Ulverston and eat in pub or restaurant there. This would not stop me staying their again but would not eat in
Review 40：Loved the hotel room, very clean and the view from the balcony across the estuary was stunning as the sun came up. The walk along the canal into Ulverston was really nice, and Ulverston its self was nice with lots of places to eat at night and cafe's in the day time
Review 41：booked room with balcony but was very disappointed. other balcony rooms had table and chairs and were a good size, ours was more like a window ledge. we purposely booked a balcony room to enjoy the view and the forecast sunshine. it spoilt our time there.
Review 42：friendly staff, nice breakfast.
Review 43：The bedding was clean but tumbled and not ironed and a bit ragged. The room freshener was rather strong. A small window with little light in the room. It fulfilled my needs but I would not like to stay in that room for more than one night..
Review 44：The view across the bay from the conservatory. The breakfast was very good.
Review 45：The location was lovely, if you want the quiet life with stunning views then book here!!! The staff at the hotel was lovely, and couldnt of done more... nice weekend with nice surroundings.
Review 46：Staff took too long to even acknowledge our presence, stale bread before main meal, hairs in main meal, room supplied had a view of a mud bank and hedgerow, room size was bearable but uncomfortable. Food is highly overrated & accommodation pricing is way too high for the room supplied.
Review 47：The location is beautiful with a wonderful view across the estuary, ample parking and great town centre with quaint shops and boutiques
Review 48：The hotel room smelt terrible and we did not like that staff had been in our room in the evening whilst we were out. The room was dated and did not resemble any of the nice pictures on the booking.com site. Before we could put down our luggage we felt pressured into making a decision about whether or not we would be eating in the pub in the evening and we had not even seen a menu or made a plan for our day so just declined to save them what seemed like hassle as they asked us twice in the space of 5minutes. If we had not upgraded to a sea view room and had the lovely view we would have most likely asked for our money back and a different hotel.
Review 49：The location and view was amazing, the perfect view to wake up too in the morning and made you feel so relaxed.
Review 50：Nothing!
Review 51：Well, what can we say? Did have reservations when driving through the industrial estate - wondered what we would meet at the other end. What we did meet was super. Very friendly and helpful staff, the food is par excellence; housekeeping was very good. Miss-match of furniture which gave the place a comfortable feel. Location is quiet despite the industrial estate. Will definitely be staying again.
Review 52：When you approach property it is in an industrial estate.
Review 53：It was oldy,worldy but that's what I liked.Comfortable and homely.Staff were lovely and knowledgeable of history
Review 54：Very professionally run, breakfast was absolutely exquisite! All home produced. Very friendly and homely. Our room was upgraded for free to a nice one with a sea view.
Review 55：If I had to pick something - finding the hotel in the dark, I couldn't see the signage.
Review 56：The Excellent staff, Brilliant WiFi, Fantastic breakfast and Great View from the breakfast room. Less than 2 minutes from GSK.
Review 57：Very dark and lacking decent lighting. Decor is very tired and the whole place needs some TLC. Ludicrous restaurant prices e.g. £25 for a steak.
Review 58：Waterfront location a quarter of a mile from where I was working. Freshly cooked breakfast.
Review 59：Dreary lighting in restaurant
Review 60：Dinner - which was superb, with very good service. Conservatory restaurant was warm and comfortable in spite of awful weather. Breakfast was a delight. Bar very cosy and welcoming.
Review 61：Nothing not to like
Review 62：What a find! We would like to thoroughly recommend but then we would have to share this wonderful coaching inn!! Enjoyed every moment 5 star treatment all the way food amazing. Will definately return.
Review 63：Nothing!!!
Review 64：breakfast with a view, real ale,location for cumbrian coastal way, patio with one of the best views in britain, 'joe' the barman very helpful and friendly and mulled cider, easy access to beautiful ulverston town centre
Review 65：The limited food menu choice, and the prices of items on the menu. Fillet steak £27.00? Chilli Con Carne £12.99? Hardly appropriate when staying on business. One other thing - the in-house hotel notes state that the bar closes at midnight. I was asked to leave at 23:00!
Review 66：I was made to feel very comfortable.
Review 67：nothing
Review 68：The atmosphere is of a qunitesential english pub with rooms Very inviting cosy and relaxing The food is marvelous and the most comfortable bed I have slept in for some time
Review 69：A very warm welcome and greeting on arrival. Staff were always very attentive and you felt they would do anything at all to help you, nothing was too much trouble. Great food served in the evening, and equally so for breakfast. Everything was clean, and in order. Not easy to fault at all.
Review 70：Slightly difficult to find without a Sat Nav.
Review 71：Lovely location right by the waterside. Very friendly and helpful staff who couldn't do enough for me. Excellent food.
Review 72：go to the bay horse once a year to meet relaitions,never been dissapointed. always have a loveley meal everybody enjoys it. great choice of food for breakfast if you can eat it after the meal the night before.(good portions) this time room was quite small but very comfortable slept very well. lots of hot water for shower at any time. looking forward to next year.
Review 73：The main courses were very expensive for a pub restaurant but were of a high quality
Review 74：Greeting by the staff. Service Breakfast was excellent. Dinner menu very varied with a good choice of the vegetarian options.
Review 75：I did not think the room was worth £100. Didn't look like it had been hoovered recently and decoration was dated. Also thought the lady in charge should keep her voice down whilst telling off staff.
Review 76：The food was outstanding both evening meal and breakfast
Review 77：Nothing..absolutely loved our stay
Review 78：Location and the stunning views Breakfast was excellent in the gorgeous conservatory loved the balcony but not private as people could walk right past your window.
Review 79：The view across the estuary was stunning at any time of the day but particularly whilst enjoying breaking in the conservatory at sunrise, or dinner in the restaurant at sunset. The hotel is not modern and the decoration is somewhat old but this adds to the appeal.
Review 80：Décor in the hotel was a little old-fashioned, but didn't spoil our stay.
Review 81：The view from our room over Morecombe Bay was stunning at sunset and in the early morning. The food at dinner and breakfast was excellent. The staff were very pleasant and welcoming.
Review 82：The double bed though comfortable we found small. We are used to a king sized bed at home. The bedroom though very well furnished was small. Also the cost of the meal, again well cooked, we found expensive compared to the Fylde restaurants. We have a 4 * apartment which costs £70 per night for a twin room, with lounge & decking area, kitchen, large bathroom with walk in shower & Jacuzzi. There is a food starter pack with bread ,butter, cereal, biscuits, tea, coffee, sugar & milk. Either we are too cheap or you are too expensive.
Review 83：We had a comfortable night, Staff were friendly & helpful.We had a lovely time & the breakfast was great. The location was outstanding.
Review 84：The location has pros and cons it is peaceful and relaxing but is not really near enough the town centre to stroll into.
Review 85：Great views from the bedroom and conservatory over the bay, the food is fab we had steaks and would recommend, very nice pleasant staff and a comfortable olde world bar to relax in.
Review 86：Rooms are a little small Large fan in wardrobe space - took up nearly half the storage space
Review 87：Superb views from room overlooking the estauary Excellent food in restaurant Nice balcony area to sit outside All staff pleasant and friendly
Review 88：That I couldn't stay longer
Review 89：Fantastic views, very relaxing watching the tide flow in and out. A good base for exploring the area, plenty of places to view.
Review 90：Couldn't say a little longer.
Review 91：Room overlooking the Leven estuary part of Morecambe Bay - sitting on the veranda watching the racing tide just yards away. They served the best breafasts I think I have ever had. The evening meal was top notch - local food really well cooked and presented. Staff very friendly and well trained.
Review 92：Nothing !
Review 93：Booked the Bay Horse on a whim just to get away for the night and what a fantastic choice . Overlooking the Leven Peninsula the views are stunning .
