It’s a shame that we can’t recommend this Hotel to others….especially out of seadon.
Pros:

The spa facility was good but a little claustrophobic due to the darkness and the poor visibility made it difficult to see the steps into the pool and jacuzzi.
Obviously the views were fantastic. Breakfast was good apart from the fact that the granola dispenser was stuck and they had run out of any juices by 9.30.

Cons:

It was cold and unwelcoming Had the fires been lit it would have created a warmer atmosphere both in the upstairs and downstairs bar as everywhere was empty. The bedroom we were given must have been a converted linen / stock cupboard. It was very small and very, very basic. There was mould in the shower and burn marks on the carpet.
We ate at the restaurant and our table was located near the staff ‘meeting’ point which meant there was a lot of coming and going around us. We could have easily been relocated as the restaurant wasn’t too busy. The food we chose was very very average.
After dinner drinks had to be served from the bar on lower floor…which was again freezing cold
And they closed the bar at 10.30.
When asked if they stayed open for residents we were told no as they don’t make any money.
Again it was a cold and unfriendly evening.

Pleasant and comfortable
Pros:

The Cliff Hotel was a very pleasant surprise. A modern spacious and well decorated Hotel. The staff greeted me by name, I was the last person to check in, and informed me they had upgraded me for free. the room was a spacious well laid out room with more than I needed for my short stay. Breakfast was a feast with a view, very enjoyable with friendly down home staff helpful to all around me and I. I heartily recommend this hotel.

Cons:

All good.

Pros:

The location. Sea views and amazing sunset. Lovely short walk along the coast before or after breakfast. Could sit outside and enjoy the sound of the sea. I was upgraded and had a bigger room with a very large and exceptionally comfortable bed. Really enjoyed my evening meal in the restaurant and loved relaxing in the lounge/bar area with a drink while enjoying panoramic views.

Cons:

Nothing that I didn't like.
