Review summary

Based on recent reviews

The Bay Horse Hotel offers a stunning location with amazing views overlooking Morecambe Bay, especially from the conservatory, which is considered by many to have views to die for. Guests often enjoy the traditional pub atmosphere with its exposed beams and cosy seating, including a bar area that features a log fire. The food receives high praise, with mentions of incredible fillets of steak and homemade ice cream; however, some have noted that the decor feels a bit outdated.

mixed experience at bayside location

musty odor hotel occupancy

the sea views were acceptable from the room.

the room possessed a distinct musty odor i requested a different room but was informed the hotel was fully booked. the staff addressed the smell by spraying air freshener this action was insufficient to rectify the problem.
