Lovely family stay at the cliff hotel

2nd time we have stayed at this hotel and it did not disappoint. Its a beautiful hotel with easy and very close access to the beach and a few family friendly bars/eating places. Our family room was a really good size and very clean. There are tea, coffee, biscuits and water in the room. There are no lifts so not ideal if you have mobility problems, but someone will help with carrying your bags up the stairs if you need help. Reception staff were lovely, really friendly, and the lady who facilitates breakfast cannot do enough for you, even though she overlooks the breakfast area alone. All were brilliant with our two young grandchildren. Bar staff were all young but efficient and most were again friendly. Prices for drinks and food are slightly high but you expect this in a nice hotel. Food was lovely and you had a good portion. My negative point was the reaction of two of the bar staff when I helped myself to the bbq sauce and tomato sauce for our little grandchildren to have with their meal. The person i had asked to bring the sauces forgot as she was so busy, which was fine, but to approch me as i was putting the sauces back saying what are you doing was not fine, then to have a 2nd member of staff come over and say to her what was she doing, pass me those sauces i will put them back here, was to me down right rude. Overall we had a lovely 2 day stay and will definitely return to this hotel.

Having booked a sea view room with balcony, we were somewhat disappointed to find that outside of our room was the kitchen extraction fan & ductwork. We therefore rejected this room but unfortunately the hotel, being fully booked for the night of the 27th May for the one night we remained insitu. Having requested to be moved the following day without fuss, we were moved to a second floor room which was perfect for the remainder of our stay. The hotel even moved our possessions themselves after we had packed them up! The breakfast is first class with a very good selection of cooked food and served with panache by ?

Happy days!

The view from our room was lovely. We could see the beach and also the harbour. The shower was a little difficult for me as it's over the bath but I managed quite well once I got used to it. The terrace seating is lovely.

Location and the food was good, and the staff worked hard and were very pleasant. However the room we were given was very small very basic and in need of upgrading. Which was a bit disappointing. Also the floor boards and stairs were very creaky, and the cornice, and decorative mouldings needed repairs. But apart from those points, we enjoyed our stay.

A pleasing 2 night stay

We really enjoyed our stay at the Cliff hotel. It was freshly redecorated everywhere and very clean. Our room was spacious and comfortable with complimentary tea/coffee. The service was average but a lovely waitress at breakfast made up for it. Gluten free bread and oat milk were available. The outside spaces were very pleasant with nice views. The food was average.

Great views

The Cliff Hotel has a great outdoor Terrace that overlooks the sea and river. When the weather is nice, its a great place to eat or have a drink, especially breakfast. In more inclement times, you can eat/drink inside and still have the great views. The staff were friendly & helpful and you can see some great sun-rises if your room overlooks the sea to the east.
