Pros:

Spacious room, beautiful gardens and good food.

Cons:

Our room 108 overlooked the rear yard. This was noisy at times especially Friday morning with a delivery of trollies. Also where staff had rest breaks.

Disappointing- especially the grey holey towels
Pros:

Great position with access to the beach and the town

Cons:

Towels were grey and some had holes - very disappointing after spending £125 per night. Lift much appreciated but very slow to operate Lots of items ran out at breakfast and had to continually ask staff to replenish

Shame, I was expecting better
Pros:

Location and gardens

Cons:

The room was fine but nothing special we, have actually experienced better rooms at Wetherspoons with better facilities in the room.
Reception staff were courteous and helpful.
Breakfast staff were less so, heard shouting and swearing in the kitchen. Food items not topped readily. Discussing other employees whilst clearing tables

Pros:

The hotel is fantastic, quaint and charming. The rooms are a generous size and ours was with a balcony overlooking the garden and sea in the distance. The grounds are spectacular and so beautiful and calming to walk through. The walk down to the seafront through the hotel garden is lovely. Highly recommend this hotel.

We stayed at the Clifton Hotel as our base for five nights while exploring Devon and Cornwall, and it couldn’t have been
Pros:

We loved the location and the breakfast, the room we stayed in 101 was extremely spacious, perfect for 3 on a Devon/cornwall tour. We will return x

Cons:

Nothing to mention here we LOVED it all.

Pros:

The staff,breakfast and the location are lovely The room was clean and comfortable.

Cons:

The room was on the second floor and needed upgrading with old furniture and low water pressure however we enjoyed our stay because the things we liked outweighed the negatives.We only had one evening meal as it was disappointing, a microwaved soggy steak pie and a spoonful of mashed potatoe was poor for a quality hotel meal
Apart from this we would stay again just for the friendly positive staff.

Pros:

The gardens were so beautiful and easy access to the sea front.Breakfast was very good.Comfy bed and a very good size room.

Cons:

One of the staff was loud,not profesional, moaning to the guests alot.Im going to send an email to the hotel to complain.The rest of the staff were helpful and lovely.The bar area is not set out right,so nobody uses it much.There is another room that could have a few tables in for guests to just come for a drink.Lots of rooms for guests to stay, but not a good bar area.
