Cliffden Hotel

We had a huge bedroom with balcony and stunning views. The breakfast was excellent. I am gluten free and never stayed in a hotel where I am offered gluten free sausages. They were delicious too. We will definitely go back there.

Due to staff shortages there were times when no-one was in the Reception. However when they came they were helpful, friendly and professional. Nicole was excellent when she was on duty. All the waitresses were good even though they were busy and the dishwasher was broken. The room was newly furbished and perfect for our needs. I asked for more coat hangers as there was only one in he wardrobe and requested a rubberised bathmat for the bath. Both items were supplied quickly. The bathroom was good and the shower supplied lovely hot water. The bath probably needed better sealant at the back. The grounds were superb. The swimming pool was perfect, very clean and inviting. I would describe the food as good and adequate. I did not expect Cordon Bleu food at a 3 star hotel! My dog came with me and was spoilt by guests as well as hotel staff. The beach was a little walk away.

Lovely hotel, fabulous location and grounds. We stayed in a family room, 203 and it was perfect, big room with lovely views. All of the staff were very friendly and helpful. Very doggie friendly, our dog loved it. Hotel supplied dogbed and bowls on request. Breakfast was excellent and we ate in the restaurant for 3 nights and food was very good and reasonably priced. Location is great, 5 minute walk to beach through the gardens and similar to train station. Pool was excellent, good showers there too, we swam twice a day, was usually quiet. It is a short walk from the hotel. Hotel was lovely and warm. Looking forward to returning in the spring!

Great location. Lovely gardens with traffic free walk to the beach and town. Interesting building definitely not typically boxy modern hotel but a stylish property that has been well preserved. The swimming pool is an excellent asset and beautifully appointed. The staff were wonderful, so impressed with the young lady who welcomed us on the Sunday afternoon and the friendly gardener who was a mine of local information. excellent buffet breakfast but the choice of meals for half board rather limited.

Really lovely hotel, old style furniture and furnishings - in keeping with the building and grounds - but not old in actual years. We loved the room - exceptionally spacious with lots of storage for clothes, cases etc. Comfy beds and spotless bedding, even a partial sea view from the window. It was very quiet at night and we slept very well. There was a fan provided but we didn't need it. The breakfast was well cooked and abundant. They suggest going earlier to avoid queues which we did, but even towards the end of breakfast nobody had to wait longer than a few minutes to be seated. The staff were super polite and attentive (not just at breakfast, throughout the hotel), and it was just a great way to start the day. We used the pool and also here everything was very positive. They even provide extra towels. The grounds are beautiful and make for a lovely stroll down into town, just a 5 minute walk to get to the seafront. We appreciated the 11am checkout so no need to rush after breakfast to leave the room. Finally, WiFi worked very well and connection was a doddle because there's no password.
