We had a room at the back and it was horrible. There's no getting around it. Small, dark and smelling very strongly of damp. The twin beds were touching. The carpet was very stained. Everything was tired and dated. The bathroom floor so cold it was unpleasant to go in there. Maybe if you get a sea view room it's nice - they looked ok from the outside, but if you are on more of a budget (we still paid £90 per night for the room) I would recommend looking elsewhere. Staff were friendly and breakfast was good but not with £15 a head and that was after a discount.

I love visiting the Bay Horse, it's a lovely treat. The building has an interesting history that is well documented on the walls. In winter there's a welcoming, inviting open fire that's cosy and warm. The view from the restaurant in the conservatory across the estuary are beautiful. In summer it's nice to sit outside watching the sun set and watching the stars, very romantic. A great choice of beers and ales. The food menus have a great choice of food at a good price and portions are generous, food is presented professionally. All times I have visited the staff are friendly, helpful and attentive. I recommend the Bay Horse Hotel to all my family and friends and colleagues as its a lovely place. The views are lovely and the walk along the canal and the beaches is very enjoyable.

When we arrived we had no idea what to expect. We went on the recommendation of a friend. The restaurant itself is lovely and has a very welcoming atmosphere. We were seated in the conservatory with a lovely view. The table was presented beautifully with fresh linen and butter piped into the shape of little swans. There was a bottle of tap water already on the table. It had been a very warm day and the tap water was most welcome. We ordered our food and were offered the largest complimentary bread rolls I've very seen. My partner took one which he said was delicious and I declined. After a couple of glasses of water I realised that there was mould in the bottom of my water bottle. I very discretely said 'excuse me' to the mangeress and showed her the bottle, I made sure that no other customers heard. I worked in restaurant myself for many years and do understand how embarrassing it can be when a customer makes a fuss. I would not be mentioning it on here if I wasn't very disappointed in how it was dealt with. The manageress took the bottle from my hand and said 'oh, I'll get you another'. The waitress then appeared with another bottle which she accidently put on another table without saying a word, so still no apology even if it would have been said to the wrong person. The manageress then went and retrieved the water bottle and put it on the end of my table saying'there you go'. Still no apology. Our food came. I ordered the fillet steak, medium/rare which was cooked perfectly and my partner ordered a vegetarian dish. Both were absolutely delicious. We throughly enjoyed our food and went for a lovely stroll by the canal before returning home. The incident with the water bottle was not a deal breaker but an apology and an assurance that they would be thoroughly checked before being placed on the table in future should have been given. However, the food was beautiful and i would return there in the future.

Recent visit for 2 night stay in the Lapwing Room. Staff very friendly. Food delicious. Room was dreadful. Not dirty but musky damp smell. We complained on several occasions and was told we have sprayed the room with air freshener. We couldn’t move room as it was fully booked. We couldn’t leave because we were sharing car with friends. We stayed out of the room as much as we could and ended up sleeping in a chair in the conservatory. We refused to pay for the room and was told if we didn’t police would be called. Manager then admitted there was a drain blocked but said it wasn’t bad. Yet our friends admitted we couldn’t sleep in that room with that smell. So avoid the Lapwing Room if staying. Manager was very offhand we won’t be revisiting here!

A little gem of a place. Very old building with lots of history, some of which is displayed on the walls. Visited as a couple at lunchtime. The conservatory was full so we sat in the bar area. I had a pork sandwich which was full of flavour and on very soft bread. Views were glorious and we went a little walk along the front afterwards. Will definitely return.

We ate in the restaurant several times, each time in the beautiful winter garden. The service is very good, all the employees are very friendly. The sirloin steak from the grill is quite powerful, was exactly as ordered to the second, the chips were very good, the fish dishes were also recommended and the dessert 😋. Almost forgot the homemade bread (from muffin tins), also great. All in all, a very clear recommendation to definitely eat there.

Stayed two nights over the 'Dave Day' weekend. Arrived on motorbikes and were able to park/chain these down the side, right in front of our room and balcony. The room is a bit dated but the balcony and views more then make up for it. Room was clean and adequate. No biscuits on the tea tray, unfortunately :-(. The food is expensive but also very good. Staff are really pleasant and helpful. Overall we were really impressed with the place. The location was a real bonus. The views over the estuary were amazing. Would definitely come again. Thanks Bay Horse. See you again one day.

The food was utterly bland and uninteresting. the chips are poor (too big and too dry), and the prices were much too high for such a meal. the location is obviously incredible, with beautiful views and a lovely walk to get here - its just a shame The Bay Horse isn't a prized aspect. I'd love for it to be a nice place, but the walk to get here is only worth the scenery, not the food. Staff are lovely. without change, i expect this restaurant will be lost to time.

The bay horse is in a fantastic location. We only had drinks to top our short walk along the canal and long journey up in the car. The staff were very welcoming and friendly.

This hotel really is an excellent venue. We only used the pub and restaurant not the hotel rooms. The location is lovely. Take binoculars to scope the birds and wildlife. Excellent views across the Bay to Morecambe and Lancaster and hills beyond. The food in the restraunt is of the highest quality local produce. It is prepared with great care and passion (check out the butter dish that is on your table on arrival). Service is impeccable and make sure you get a table in the sun room overlooking the Bay.

Attracted by location, with spacious conservatory overlooking Morecambe Bay. Real ale, and food menu which has a big range of interesting options. I enjoyed greatly minced pork medallions which included a little cheese and leek, with lovely stir-fried veg, though chunky chips were a little boring (£20). One of our party had hot beef sandwich - extremely generous amount of beef which looked excellent (£10). Hope to go again.

We have had some delicious lunches here over the past few years and so booked a table 3 weeks before a special occasion. When we arrived we were greeted with the news that the chef had left last week so they couldn't serve the lunch menu only sandwiches and a few light bites. They had my telephone number why couldn't they have taken the trouble to ring me in advance and explain. I suppose it was too much trouble. We had some very ordinary sandwiches and left.

One of my favourite restaurants in the Lake District. Old world charm in the delightful cosy pub with lovely open fire. However we chose to eat in the beautiful conservatory with amazing views across the estuary and hills. The food is wonderful here. Delicious sandwiches and snacks as well as a full menu. This is a very popular restaurant so at weekends it is essential to book a table. We loved the large portions of prawn cocktail and delicious baked mushroom. The beef casserole was rich and tasty, the poached cod was excellent and my lamb shank was delicious. Cooked to perfection and being locally produced had the most amazing flavour. Certainly the best lamb shank I have eaten. A very memorable lunch. All the staff are so friendly, helpful and professional. If you are staying in the Lake District it really is worth making a detour to come to this very special place. We look forward to returning on our next trip to the Lakes in September.

As promised came back for lunch, this time midweek, not as busy as Sunday but still popular. We were again seated in the conservatory with its beautiful outlook over the estuary on a lovely sunny spring day. Very friendly service and a lovely leisurely lunch was enjoyed by us all. Starters £7+, mains £15+ so a little above average price, but the food is definitely above average. I heard that the current owners are retiring and the business is up for sale, I would wish them well and hope the new owners can match the consistently high standard we have enjoyed at the Bay Horse over the years.

As we had booked we were seated in the conservatory, delightful outlook over the estuary with the tide coming in. Fair choice on the menu but no traditional roasts, full bar and a good wine list. Friendly helpful staff, a jug of water already waiting on the table and wine served in a wine bucket which is unusual these days.Thoroughly enjoyed the meal, prices are a little above average but probably deservedly so. Definitely worth a visit if you fancy a change.

Ir a un lugar nuevo siempre es un riesgo y no estaba seguro de a dónde me llevaban cuando fuimos al Bay Horse. Pasé un rato disfrutando una pinta o dos mientras mi esposa y mis amigos salían a pasear por el pequeño canal y luego todos cenábamos en el conservatorio. Decir que la comida era buena sería una subestimación enorme, fue excelente, al igual que la decoración y la amabilidad del personal. Normalmente no me gustan los lugares, pero me encantaría dar a esta visita diez estrellas si pudiera. Por supuesto que volveremos a visitar para asegurarnos de que no haya sido así y porque realmente disfrutamos de la comida. Excelente y bien vale la pena el viaje para la visita; volveremos pronto

Nuestros amigos nos recomendaron almorzar en el Bay Horse. Decidimos visitar en un domingo nublado en noviembre; el enfoque pasado la fábrica de GSK nos llevó a cuestionar la sensatez de la recomendación, sin embargo, cuando llegamos a Canal Foot nos sorprendió gratamente. Esta es la forma en que los pubs deberían ser: cálidos, acogedores, porciones generosas con prontitud y un excelente servicio del personal muy amable. La vista a través de la bahía es espectacular incluso en un día gris, y la esclusa y el canal adyacentes son interesantes después del almuerzo, ¡y la cerveza también es excelente!

We went with two dogs and were very easily accommodated. My hubby had the hot beef and caramelised onion ciabatta and I had the pancetta, cheese and tomato ciabatta. Both were very generously filled and tasted fabulous. We ordered a portion of chips and were very pleasantly surprised. The chips were very definitely home made and cooked to perfection, and to say large wouldnt do them justice. The only quibble was with my sandwich. The amount of cheese and the tomato made the sandwich a little greasy for my liking but didnt take anything away from the taste at all.

We ordered a pot of tea and some shortbread and sat down by the entrance. We got comfortable then turned around to a huge spider hanging from an old lamp in the corner of the room, on the opposite side of the wall was full of cobwebs and dead spiders by the look of it, behind a cushion was also another big spider. Isn't hard to get the duster out! Our tea came, my pregnant partner couldn't even drink her tea because of the taste, I didn't even notice the difference until I smelt the milk and it was definitely off, the shortbread was nice and the service was good but could do with a good clean and some fresher milk perhaps.

Once again I spent my birthday at the Bay Horse. We’ve done this for the past several years and love it. The welcome and food is outstanding.

Walk along the canal (it says 1.25 miles..) and reward yourself with a good lunch and pleasant service. There are 3 or 4 different menus, steak, seasonal, light bites and vegetarian. We were a large family party, our orders taken correctly and efficiently, our food all arriving at the same time. The vegetarian had the hazlenut pancakes with wild mushroom stufffing, cream and chive sauce. One person had 2 cold starters as the meal which came together as requested. Otherwise, lamb shank in red wine sauce, cod with spinach and poached egg all came with a choice of chips (lovely) or mash and stir fried vegetables or salad. Main courses about £15.75, steak more. Those who had room for puddings really enjoyed them.

Went here the frist time around 30 years ago only to return now on holiday. You would never believe driving through the industrial estate that such a place exisits. Friendly staff and a varied menu, the Bay Horse has had a good reputation for many a year. Luchtime selection is varied and the mains all come in a decent size. Prices are okay but not exactly the cheapest. I believe that the owner is looking to move on and perhaps this shows in the need for a refurbishment. Views over the bay are fantastic.

Good food, good beer, good service, decent wines and a wonderful view from the conservatory overlooking Morecambe Bay.

There is more to Ulverston than what you first see,this lovely hotel/pub is just a 15 minute walk from Ulverston town centre,along the canal.Came for lunch,and was warmly welcomed on arrival by Joe,who was very friendly and made lunch a real treat.Would highly recommend this pub for lunch,and the views from the hotel rooms,especially on a sunny day must be amazing.Great choice of food and drink available,a very good vegetarian menus also on offer.Service one of the best experience in the lakes,and staff couldn't have been more helpful.Location is second to none on a sunny day,and I'm sure in colder months the fireplace would be a welcome sight,look forward to visiting again soon keep up the good work

Canal foot is an historic place. The food from the Bay Horse can be eaten on the seating at canal foot and is an ideal location to take my groups on bike tours of the Furness peninsular.Lake District bikes not only offers guided bike tours but also rents a range of bikes for all types of cyclists.

My friend and I just had sandwiches and salad. The salad had a small tomato on it which had been freshly cut but the rest of the salad was limp and brown round the edges. Definitely not fresh. When we pointed this out to our server she just said “Thank you” and took our plates away. No apology, no replacement.

We were visiting family and went for a long walk along the canal and came across the Bay Horse. What a great place, very oldie worldy, with fabulous sea views. Very busy, with most tables taken. We didn’t eat here this time and just had a drink, but all the meals being served looked amazing and we will most definitely eat here next time we’re in the area.

Lovely stay mews rooms where fab when you have dogs. Room service for breakfast was great meaning we didn't have to leave dogs while we went for breakfast. Food in the bar on the evening was great and fab value for money. Will definitely be back

Lovely bright and modern pub. Nice choice of really taste beer. Called in mid week, so it was quite and lacked atmosphere, which is why I give 4 stars.

Very tired and in need of complete renovation and it shouldnt have been advertised as a four star hotel. Staff were friendly and helpful working under poor conditions. Breakfast choice poor unless you like eggs and the vegetarian full English was dry and obviously been kept under a heat lamp. Definitely not 4 star and I understand the day after we left the hotel was closed for renovation.

First camping trip pub we ever went into back in 93 aged 18. Sad to see it closed today. Major rebuild in progress and will be I recognisable. So I'll never see how it was again.

This was our second visit. We had previously enjoyed our stay and so booked for a special family event. Positives first- Our rooms were fabulous and clean. The doggy shower room a great idea. Staff on arrival lovely, cleaning staff and maintenance staff polite and friendly. Although the furniture in the lounge area was a little tired, there genuinely seemed to be an effort to maintain and improve the hotel and grounds. Negatives- one or two waiting staff had a bit of a toxic attitude. We’ve eaten in top Michelin and other good restaurants around the globe and would not expect this. So much so we chose to eat out at other local restaurants after our first night. We were a party of mixed dietary requirements and found the Vegetarian/vegan choices were very limited especially if staying for a week. My meal was ok but spoiled by atmosphere created by waiter attitude. Not truely vegetarian/vegan. I opted for pancakes one breakfast with compote, no bacon. They were cooked in bacon fat. Waitress, instead of immediately trying to sort it out, lied to my face. Doggy friendly on the face of it. Only allowed in certain rooms, not in main restaurant. Fair enough but Bar restaurant/lounge area not serving meals or seats unavailable because main restaurant users waiting on their restaurant table becoming available (people appeared to be waiting quite a time). Felt a bit Faulty Towers. Would we choose to spend our money there in future?
