“Would recommend Cliff House just for the style. It’s pretty special.”
Location, the James Bond (Roger Moore era) vibe, the pool and spa and ocean swimming spot. Also great staff all round.

“Nice stay but wouldn’t return”
Hotel was very comfortable in a lovely location with incredible sunset… lunch in hotel was good and dinner was good .. Breakfast was the star of the show and could not be faulted… Spa facilities were nice … it was a nice hotel but it doesn’t merit a 5 star as there was to many things that let it down … some areas needing attention rather than a complete overall ..

“Fabulous stay.”
We had a fabulous stay at the Cliff House. Unbeatable location and views, staff were all so friendly and helpful yet not in your face. Food was excellent. Pool and spa facilities are fab. Located in a cute little seaside village that was lovely to walk down to.
