Bayswell Park Hotel

Lovely small hotel in stunning cliff top location. Service was friendly and food was v good. Some of the communal parts of the hotel are a little tired but that somehow adds to the homely feel.

Wonderful location with sea views overlooking Dunbar Castle ruins and harbor. Nice restaurant with grest views. There is a bar and quiet area.

Lovely stay fantastic view excellent afternoon tea hot tub room fantastic

The best thing was sitting in the hot tub overlooking the North Sea & hearing the waves coming in & feeling the fresh sea breeze around our faces while our bodies were warm underwater!!! The evening meal was exceptional, the options, the quality & especially the presentation with taste to match. Breakfast was also lovely. No supplement for the more unusual options & good service too. Room was lovely, big, comfortable bed, both a bath & a shower. Well appointed. All in all a great stay for our anniversary.

Friendly staff, breakfast has multiple choices and to choose from. Hot tubs were clean well maintained. Would definitely come back

Stayed here to be close to a wedding venue, liked the location , looking out to the sea, the building looks lovely from the outside but sadly it’s in need of some updating, it’s a bit unloved looking, decor is tired, the rooms are basic, beds are hard, lighting not up to much, chipped paint everywhere really, for £169 a night it didn’t cut it. Room had kettle and nice teas and coffees, with shortbread biscuits. Toiletries were stunning and the bathroom is fairly modern , windows need a lot of restoring , chipped and old looking paint. This could be such a treasure if some money was spent on decor updates. Breakfast is good and filling.

Property needs a serious update

The staff were very friendly and helpful, the location was fantastic, However the hotel is in need of attention, the rusting sign on the roof when you drive in is not a good start, the loss chipping from the drive are spilling out onto the road and looks a mess, the room was just about clean enough but the windows in the bathroom were both painted shut and the silicon

Excellent location with great sea views. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Property condition is a bit tired and requires some updating.

The building was very nice old stonework which was in good condition. The inside was nicely done. The staff were very nice and easy to get on with. Bar staff were very efficient and friendly. Loved the sea view from the hot tub ground floor junior apartments, hot tubs were great, bathrobes were provided along with large bath towels. Will return.

This hotel is old fashioned in a beautiful building on the edge of the coastline. Get a sea view it is worth it. My solo room was a good size, the breakfast was in a lovely sea view dining room, the staff were extremely lovely and helpful. The bathroom needs updating but was spotlessly clean.

The hotel is looking a bit tired and our room was a bit shabby. What really let us down was that we got a family room to sleep 3, but the 3rd bed was terrible. It was not a mattress or fold out bed but what looked like the back bit of a sofa with a sheet on it! It was very hard and uncomfortable and not full length. It was so uncomfortable that our kid had to sleep in the bed and one of us on the floor but the bed thing was not long enough. Basically, it was very uncomfortable and meant one of us adults got little sleep. When we checked out, we gave this feedback. The man on reception apologized and said ‘we know they are not great / comfy and are on our list to replace’. So if they know, why sell that as a family room?? Why knowingly provide an uncomfortable 3rd bed? A good nights sleep is essential for a traveling family but we left tired and not feeling like we got our monies worth.

We attended a wedding close to the hotel which commenced at 13.30. As booking in commenced at 15.00 we were able to leave our luggage at the hotel reception. After the wedding we got back to the hotel at 23.00. Our luggage was safely left in our rooms. The rooms were spacious and very clean. The large beds were very comfortable and bed linen spotless. The rooms comfortably warm. We all had a good night’s sleep. In the morning we were amazed when opening the curtains the view of the Firth of Forth over to Fife was spectacular. It helped that it was a pleasant sunny morning. Breakfast in the ground floor restaurant was wholesome and tasty. We all had the full Scottish breakfast - good choice - it was excellent. Booking in and signing out was simple and effortless. Would most certainly recommend this small hotel to everyone.

Originally booked for 2 however my circumstances changed as my husband had to work and couldn’t get my children watched explained on check in, the next morning I was made to feel like a criminal as I had my children in a hot tub suite, that I had paid nearly £300 for, the staff were so rude as I broke the rules and allowed my 10 year old, supervised in the hot tub. It was my birthday and I wanted to do something special but this treatment was just awful. The rooms are dirty I am not exaggerating when I say I could write in the dust on my bedside table.I had to go and get tablets as I am allergic to dust and my eyes were swollen when I woke up. I paid nearly £300 for a night to stay here, to be treated terribly and sleep in a dirty room. I am very much regretting my decision with this hotel. We had a great time at Foxlake near by. The best thing about this place is the hot tub but there are many rules to follow at this hotel. It is not family friendly. The rooms are not great.

When you walk in, the view from the bay windows is amazing. The bed looks clean and the room looks ok at best. There’s a big splat of paint on the window where someone has hit it with the roller. The bathroom is less than ok. Holes on the floor. Bath seal is falling away from the wall. No hot water on day 1 of my stay. Didn’t sleep well both nights. Bed is hard as a board. Lights from outside shine up through the top of the curtains. There was hot water on day 2. However, after taking a shower, it’s goodbye to the amazing view. With a poor extractor and windows that do not open, the only good part about the room is gone. Breakfast really nice. Staff are lovely.

Good Breakfast and a nice clean shower.

I didn’t spend much time in the hotel (I booked for one night to attend a wedding nearby) but everything was great. The staff were very pleasant and let me use a room to change into wedding attire before check-in, and arriving back after midnight was not a problem. The room was clean and had a stunning view over the Firth of Forth, and there were plenty of breakfast options.

A good one night stay, with a beautiful see view. Our room was in need of some TLC and a deep clean but the view made up for that. It was a bit expensive for what it was but that could be due to proximity to Edinburgh and the busy Fringe month. The breakfast was lovely and all the hotel staff were very friendly.

Nice hotel, great views, good breakfast, shower was Luke warm which was the only downside.

I’m not an independent hotel/B&B guy. I normally stay in one of the franchise hotels. But, I needed a room for 2 nights and it was during the Fringe and the Oasis weekend. This meant all hotel prices were CRAZY (>£200 for a night at a Premier Inn - I don’t think so!) The Bayswell had a room with a sea view(beautiful) including breakfast for £90 via Expedia. My room was sufficient. The bed was comfortable and the shower was good. My room was definitely not the sort of room you would spend any time in, other than to sleep and wash/shower. This wasn’t a problem for me, as I’d booked what was probably one of the smaller/cheaper rooms. My room was hot, but not enough to stop me sleeping. Breakfast was nice. The ingredients were all of good quality, with my only negative comments being the one piece of sorry looking bacon and cold beans served the first morning. I went for bacon and egg on toast the second morning and received two lovely slices of bacon. Was it worth £90 ? During the Fringe/OASIS = Yes. But I’d say the quality of MY room was lower than a typical Premier Inn. I did find the wifi to be close to useless. Most times failing to connect and when it did it was painfully slow. This was both from my room and in the breakfast area. All the staff were very friendly.

Very good hotel but bedside light too dim to be able to read in bed

Room was good. Hotel needs some updating ( carpets, windows, furniture) and walls could use a fresh coat of paint. Some pictures on the walls would have been good too. Bathroom was updated and the bed was comfortable. Great view over the coast.

Had booked junior suite with hot tub for 1 night. The room was warm and welcoming and the hot tub was a really nice addition. I found the room to be really small for being a junior suite. Since getting home and looking on the website it seems that we didn’t get the junior suite and looks to have been given the double room with hot tub. I wish I had looked at my booking and the rooms shown online at the time as there is a price difference between the rooms so we had paid the price of a junior suite as that’s what our booking says and given a different room. We had booked dinner within the restaurant at 6 but decided we wanted earlier. The gentleman on reception was lovely and changed it for us . The restaurant is in the conservatory area which we found very cold. My partner actually went back to the room to get his jumper. Another lady at a different table mentioned to the staff that it was rather cold and he switched on a portable heater that was next to her. Food was lovely though. We decided not to have breakfast in the morning so can’t comment on the breakfast. Seems to be very minimal staff - we only saw the one gentleman and he seemed to be working the reception, bar and restaurant himself . Lovely man though. The views are beautiful - would we stay again ? Possibly but wouldn’t pay £250.80 for a small double room with a hot tub.

Very disappointed, room was clean, breakfast was great, BUT I could not great a shower or shave as there was NO Hot Water. I went for a shower at 9.00 to find that all the hot water was used up by other guests in the hotel. When I spoke with an employee they just said sorry, I guess that it's last man up gets the cold shower.

Room was lovely, big, comfortable bed, both a bath & a shower. Well appointed. All in all a great stay for our anniversary.

The sea views are to die for. Falling asleep listening to the sea. Room a bit dated. Lack of bedside table and plug sockets a downside. But great shower and bath.and nice complimentary toiletries. Lovely fresh cooked breakfast to order and evening meals delicious too.

Fabulous staff,amazing room and view.situated in the perfect location

Wonderful one night stay. The service was excellent. I commented to the manager how well service and food was delivered. Great to see!

Beautiful room with a view but really the staff were the highlight. Very friendly, approachable and professional.

I wouldn't stay here again. Our car was damaged in full view of the CCTV camera, yet they didn't seem to care. They said they would check the camera and contact me, but they never did, I had to contact them. They basically said they saw nothing but camera was pointing at my car.

The whole team at Bayswell Park were so friendly and went out of their way to make our stay perfect!

Location is fantastic, stunning views. We had one of the 4 hot tub rooms. Bed was very comfortable, having bath robes was a lovely touch. Big bathroom with a great shower. Nice decor and having the use of your own hot tub was good but looking out to the water was stunning. We had dinner in the restaurant and the food was delicious. Would definitely recommend. Breakfast the following morning was brilliant, great selection on offer. I have to give a shout out to all the staff as they were very welcoming and done everything to ensure we were happy. From us checking in to then getting drinks at the bar, eating in the restaurant in the evening to the breakfast service in the morning and to checking out they were all friendly helpful, welcoming staff. I would definitely recommend.

We stayed in the John Muir suite and had a fantastic seaview. The staff were friendly and helpful. The food was delicious. Great location for a stroll along the beautiful coastline. We stayed 2 nights and had a lovely relaxed time in a great hotel.

We spent two nights and enjoyed our stay.The staff were excellent,very friendly and helpful.Our room was comfortable,clean and well equipped.We had dinner one night and the food was very good.Breakfast on two mornings was very good with a wide choice of cold items and the hot breakfast was cooked to order and was very good.The only minor comment was that we would have liked a small safe in our room to leave items of value or documents etc during the day when we were out.Overall a most enjoyable stay in a comfortable hotel with good food and top marks for the friendly,helpful staff.We will return!

Staff are very friendly, and nothing seemed to be a problem! Very accommodating. The food they have to offer was lovely, and reasonably priced! And the room was comfortable.

The view! This was the highlight of this stay. The food was great and tasty and the room was comfy and clean. I’m guessing that the bathroom had recently been refurbished. It certainly looked good and the shower was one of the best I have used. The only, minor, downside to our stay was that the wifi was a bit ‘iffy’ and we had trouble connecting a couple of times. Did I mention the view?

This is a lovely hotel with attentive staff and superbly located with a brilliant sea view

Wonderful location with sea views overlooking Dunbar Castle ruins and harbor. Nice restaurant with grest views. There is a bar and quiet area.

Location.

Very nice location next to the sea

Very beautiful Room beautiful view, but there is no dining options after 7 pm in winter walking distance to town it’s about seven minutes but no lights in the roads

I lovely hotel. Very nice staff. My room was lovely and had graet views of the coast. the Scottish breakfast was lovely and plentyful. Very good location for long coastal walks.

Nice position on the cliff top..good views all round

Lovely hotel. Close to town.

Excellent sea view and cliff top walks. Staff friendly and welcoming. Easy access to railway station for exploring.

h otel was ok,but tired,needs an uplift. Menu was ok., but desert was limited to sweets a cheese board would hve been welcomed.

Location is fantastic, stunning views. We had one of the 4 hot tub rooms. Bed was very comfortable, having bath robes was a lovely touch. Big bathroom with a great shower. Nice decor and having the use of your own hot tub was good but looking out to the water was stunning. We had dinner in the restaurant and the food was delicious. Would definitely recommend.

I would definitely recommend.

Whilst the Staff were all very friendly and the room was all we had hoped it would be the restaurant left a lot to be desired. When our main courses arrived my wife's vegetables were stone cold as was my steak We sent them back but obviously they had just been stuck in the microwave. My steak was a strange grey colour, not one that I had seen before and the pastry on my wife's steak pie was not cooked. We sent it all back and asked for sandwiches which we took to our room. My wife contracted food poisoning and 3 days later is still under the Doctor. Very very sad as we had to miss out on the treat that I had planned for my Wife's Birthday the next day and just get home asap.

The dinner at the restaurant was fabulous. The room was wonderful over looking the Firth of Forth. Great location. The service was great too.

The best thing was sitting in the hot tub overlooking the North Sea & hearing the waves coming in & feeling the fresh sea breeze around our faces while our bodies were warm underwater!!! The evening meal was exceptional, the options, the quality & especially the presentation with taste to match. Breakfast was also lovely. No supplement for the more unusual options & good service too. Room was lovely, big, comfortable bed, both a bath & a shower. Well appointed. All in all a great stay for our anniversary.

The breakfast was excellent so much that I had to cut out some of items in the full Scottish as it was to much. There is also an excellent Buffet for those who don't want the cooked option.

The sea views are to die for. Falling asleep listening to the sea. Room a bit dated. Lack of bedside table and plug sockets a downside. But great shower and bath.and nice complimentary toiletries. Lovely fresh cooked breakfast to order and evening meals delicious too.

We stayed in one of the suites and it was just fantastic. The bed was so comfy, I had the best sleep in years and as for the views well stunning is underselling. The food was great and all the staff were very friendly. I will definitely stay here again. The only thing that is slightly negative is that the dining area is small and others can here your conversation but they have made the most of the limited space that they have. We honestly loved our stay.

Hot tub jets wasn't working, boiler in hotel broke down so had no hot water until the morning. Sink tap was lose, shower door handle loose and holder for shower head broken. Breakfast was good but ran out of sausages
