I think it was a decent place with a nice location. Though the beds were like hospital beds and the food was horrible. I think if you are going to stay only stay for one to two nights as you won't get a fantastic nights sleep. Though alright hotel and I would stay again if I had to. More

I would like to thank all the Management and Staff at Downings Bay for a phenomenal weekend had by all my family at my parents Golden Wedding Anniversary. The food, service and accommodation was faultless. I stayed for two nights and the bedrooms are very comfortable and enjoyed the continental selection and cooked breakfast. More

Due to recent flooding in the area & at the hotel we were meant to stay in, my partner & I were booked into this hotel for a two night Dinner B&B break. The rooms are a very standard 3* Double & Single affair, comfortable but nothing special. The view from the room was pretty grotty - a caravan park... More

I cannot find a fault with this hotel. Room was better than expected considering the cost. The service was lovely, they assisted us with information, maps, and directions.The only minor negative detail might be that the adjacent bar/restaurant was quite loud one night because there was a wedding. I think it ended by midnight though, and not a big deal... More
