Myself and My Partner stayed at the Cliff this past weekend. We had originally booked the 3 course menu in the Restaurant but changed our minds to the tasting menu with matching wines when we arrived. One of the best decisions we ever made. It was 8 courses each one better than the last, each wine is carefully selected to... more

Ok, the rain was there, the wind was there, and we couldn't sit on the balcony, but thank you for allowing us to eat Martijn's food,. He is a clever chef, and we really enjoyed his food, pricey, but delicious. The hotel itself is really worth the money they have spent on it, and I just hope that the location... more

I don't normally write review on Trip Advisor but I'm making an exception this time. Stayed at Cliff House over Christmas with the girlfriend. Everything about our stay was first class. Hotel staff are lovely - helped me out jump-starting my car when I left the lights on! Food, leisure facilities, bedroom, bathrooms - they are all spot on. If... more

We visited the Cliff House Hotel for a two-day break that included one dinner in the restaurant. Despite the stormy weather that kept us inside for all but a short walk, we enjoyed the break for a number of reasons. First, the staff is extremely friendly and works together as a team. This was evident in the restaurant during breakfast... more

Beautiful hotel, beautiful experience. Having finished an MBA and in real need of relaxation we took off to Ardmore with our 8 month old baby for a weekend at the Cliff House Hotel. It was a spectacular experience. We availed of a local babysitter which worked out perfectly, the spa was great - massage treatment interrupted as masseur was called... more

If you like interior design, art, amazing views tied in with organic design, you will LOVE this hotel. They have dared to go where other hotels wont go. Colourful, funky and nowadays just different from the bland creams,beiges and generic sameness that we see in hotels everywhere. Stayed in a small but fab. suite with a very cool bathroom with... more

Having had one of the more memorable dining experiences ever in the hotel restaurant last year I decided to return with some friends to repeat the experience and this time to also stay overnight. I might say at this point that I am fusy and have stayed in some of the best hotels in the world so The Cliff had... more

I'm a lazy/silent user of this site and would never normally bother to write a review... if I like a hotel.. my feedback is that I just keep going back. Cliffhouse is now most certainly in this category. My blunt feedback... With all due respect, I look at some dissatisfied Cliffhouse reviewers and suspect they are probably the types that... more
