Lovely visit. Staff helpful and friendly and all taking virus precautions so felt safe. Had balcony room overlooking estuary and it was a great view and interesting watching anglers. No ambient light so would be excellent place to see stars. Unfortunately a bit cloudy on our 2 nights. Breakfasts good and filling. Had dinner both nights and the food was excellent.
United KingdomLovely friendly staff, exceptional sea view, cozy bar, and delicious food.
United KingdomLovely little place. Very accommodating. Beer and food was lovely. The room was a little cold but I could have requested a fan heater I suppose and didn’t that was the only negative aspect seem like it needed a bigger radiator otherwise very nice day thank you very much.
United KingdomVery good staff good food and great value for money what more could you ask
United KingdomLocation was just to our liking relaxing short break breakfast was ample
United KingdomLovely Hotel in a superb location. Staff where pleasant and very helpful. Nothing seemed to much trouble. Spectacular views across the estuary. Will definitely go again.
United KingdomBest breakfast I've had in donkey's years, great ingredients and well cooked
United KingdomSpecial mention for the staff - all of them went out of their way to be both exceptionally friendly & helpful. The room had a magnificent panoramic view over the Estuary (Duddon I think) - facilities in the room and in the bar/restaurant were excellent. We had a meal in the Restaurant in the evening - it was of the highest quality and excellent taste and presentation. We eat in many of the top restaurants in Scotland & wherever we travel - this compares very favourably with any we've eaten in over the past 5 years or so. The Breakfast was again well presented - no faded buffet - but real food and pleasant service. We will definitely go back as its a great base for the Southern Lakes,
United KingdomThe food as always perfection. Staff attentive and friendly. Lovely views.
United Kingdomfabulous view of the estuary and wildlife from the room and the balcony. food was excellent.

Host Information
Although the approach is somewhat odd (one has to pass by a chemical works which has been here for the past 60 years and is now undergoing huge landscaping improvements, you will be sure to receive a warm welcome once reaching The Bay Horse. In winter, a log fire is lit throughout the day in the bar where you can keep warm and cosy and enjoy a selection of Hot Beverages or a warming mulled cider or wine. In summer, the views are amazing, there is plenty of bird life to observe and it is also a great spot for dog walkers. We are totally dog friendly.
Robert Lyons the chef/owner was 17 years Head Chef for renowned TV chef John Tovey at Miller Howe Hotel in Windermere where he met his partner Lesley Wheeler. The Bay Horse has been their home for 28 years and it has retained its old fashioned charm fro its coaching inn days when folk would rest up before making the perilous journey across the Morecambe Bay sands to Lancaster by horse and coach. Today, you can still watch the tide race in.
Nearby, you can visit Conishead Priory, home to the Buddhist monks, Holker Hall and The Lakeland Motor Museum as well as Dalton Wildlife Park. You may want to walk up the canal into Ulverston Market Town which has many individual shops and is known as The Festival Town. Festivals held are The Dickensian Weekend, the Lantern Procession, Walkers Festival and many more including Another Fine Fest which celebrates one of our most famous sons of Ulverston, Stan Laurel.
