Housel Bay Hotel

Extremely helpful and friendly staff, very beautiful location of hotel and dining/ breakfast room, very nice food!

Superb location! We love to visit again.

Another excellent stay despite the poor weather. The staff was most welcoming especially Lucy at breakfast times. The fog horn during the stormy nights is really not intrusive, if anything it is reassuring on a rough night to turn over and hear it.

This hotel is not only beautiful on the outside but the staff make it absolutely wonderful on the inside. Molly and Joe were fantastic with their hospitality and kindness from the minute we walked in until the minute we left. Lucy in the mornings was like a breath of fresh air, so lovely and welcoming and couldn’t do more to help. The lady in the evening was friendly too. The food. Phenomenal. I don’t think I’ll need to eat for a while…! Our room was gorgeous and the lovely ladies who cleaned it were so happy to help. Thanks for an amazing stay. Can’t wait to go back!

We've stayed at the Housel Bay many times, and always leave feeling relaxed and rested. The location is prefect (nonwithstanding the proximity to the lighthouse!). The hotel itself is quiet and calm; the decor understated with pale greys and natural materials. The food has got better and better over the years. The Terrace menu, is certainly not the usual pub/bar food. This time the menu was quite short, particularly for vegetarians, but that isn't a problem for a short stay, and we appreciate the effort made to offer come creative and delicious dishes to non meat-eaters. Fallowfields, as ever, was quite special. The dishes were imaginative, without being too extreme ( the kelp tea was a revelation!). The staff always friendly and helpful, particularly the longstanding members of the team ( it was lovely to be greeted like old friend by Alex!). In trying to put my finger on what makes the hotel so peaceful, it occurred to us that the lack of dogs does make a difference. I believe the hotel does allow dogs in some of the bedrooms now, and they are pemitted in the Terrace Restaurant, but on this occasion there were none, which was very pleasant.

We visited for a celebratory birthday weekend and enjoyed every minute . The hotel was comfortable and warm and excellent food in the hotel restaurant. The staff were particularly attentive and friendly , particularly Lucy the waitress . The whole experience was like a warm friendly hug ! We will definitely return !
