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

Great location but horel a little tired and in need of a refurbishment. Surprised this wasn't done over the winter as they are now in full season. Resturant food a little bland but acceptable, good breakfast selection and service. Great beach for families but everything else is a car ride away. Just about value for money but not cheap.

Hotel lovely location overlooking the sea. Nice quiet location with bar and restaurant. Fish and chips was massive however wasn’t great thought it would be amazing as seaside location but no flavour however the Caesar salad looked amazing. Beds super comfy and everything you need in the room. Great stay overall.

A Perfect Birthday Getaway!

We recently stayed here to celebrate my partner’s birthday and had an absolutely wonderful time. From the moment we arrived, the staff were brilliant—welcoming, friendly, and incredibly helpful. The breakfast was a real highlight, with a wide variety of delicious options to choose from each morning. The location couldn’t have been better, with easy access to some stunning local beaches. Everything about our stay was just right, making it the perfect birthday escape. Highly recommend!

Would gladly return

We had a lovely stay, exceeded our expectations on almost every count. The hotel is brilliantly dog-friendly. The breakfast offering was particularly good - a different menu, with flexibility within the options, and the buffet was lovely as well. The location is fantastic for walking and beaches, which is all we wanted for this trip, so we are very happy guests and would certainly return for another visit.
