Perfect location. But you can tell they were either short staffed of inexperienced, but that said they work incredibly hard. We had the family room and it was a bit rough round the edges - I rate the rooms on two fundamental things - quality of the shower and how comfortable the bed was and it failed on both!

Great hotel, wonderful location. Brilliant spot to have a drink outside on a nice day. Staff in bar very friendly, only negative is the hotel is a bit tired in places and the rooms are a bit average although this wouldn’t detract from me returning

Superb, friendly staff.
Really friendly staff and easy check in. Rooms great, a bit of damage here and there to furniture and fittings. Food was good, heard a few people complaining about length of wait, but I didn't have a problem. Would happily stay again.

3 nights at the Botany Bay Hotel
We had a 3 night stay in the hotel in a twin bed room. All the hotel and bar staff were very friendly, welcoming and helpful. The bar and dining areas were busy as it was the last weekend of the school holidays. We attended a lunchtime event in the guests dining room. The bedroom had a partial view of the sea and was kept clean each day. There was plenty of room for 2 of us however there was a significant lack of available power points. The kettle, coffee machine, air cooler and mobile phones were all competing for 1 socket. I would have liked the option for a brighter bed side light for reading while in bed. In the large ensuite bathroom I would like to suggest for a greater customer experience that additional rails, either free standing or wall mounted, be provided, adjacent to the basin and bath so that towels have a chance to dry after use. Shelving for wash bags and hooks for hanging clean clothes would be a bonus. There was always plenty of hot water. We appreciated the hotel working towards reducing their use of plastic by providing flasks of cold milk and also in advising that towels would be washed as required rather than automatically on a daily basis. Breakfasts were very good with plenty of choice and the 1 evening main meal was delicious. The vegetarian options were very limited on that evening though. It was a pleasant stay for a weekend by the sea. Thank you
