First of all, the staff at the Cove Bay hotel are absolutely amazing! They were beyond welcoming and made our stay a breeze. The restaurant was beyond words. The food was so amazing and prices seemed reasonable considering the large portions and wonderful flavor. Breakfast was equally as good. If I ever get the chance to come back, I will be staying and dining here again!

The room was clean and comfortable. The attached restaurant served wonderful food - no need to search for good food. The staff was so courteous and helpful and they had great suggestions on where to visit. The view of the North Sea from the restaurant is gravy on top of the good food and service. I recommend this place.
