Porthole Bar

My friend and I arrived at our B&B late in the afternoon on a September day and were very hungry. The B&B owner directed us to the Bayview Hotel, which was only a short drive. The food was fantastic and we have a window seat right up front. The view was beautiful, even on the overcast, rainy evening. Truly an enjoyable time. I would recommend this to anyone in the area. I wish I was there right now!

We visited at the weekend on (another) wet afternoon with the kids in tow, just for drinks and really enjoyed it. We sat at one of the tables right in the windowand a charming young man took our drinks orders, waiting patiently while number one son deliberated carefully between orange and blackcurrant cordial. Not an impatient sigh to be heard so definitely a good start. Around us was a complete mix of people, ladies having coffee (never understand people who go to a pub and have coffee but let’s not judge), young guys having lots of pints and other families.
We were lucky in getting our seats at the window and enjoyed the beautiful views of the sea and cliffs, just breathtaking. I was equally delighted by the fact thatthey serve mini bottles of Chardonnay as most bars seem to serve only that vinegary muck known as sauvignon. The kids were quite noisy but not out of control noisy and everyone seemed happy with that. Well, I was anyway. Only downside was that they had no crisps which for us are a must when you’re not having a meal.
A great spot for day drinks for a family ot group of friends.
