Cliffden Hotel

Traditional hotel. Nice entrance to road next to sea via private gardens and gate. Good swimming pool. Breakfast was fairly basic but adequate . Nice views

Always have a great time at the hotel

29/04/2025. We have been to the cliffden hotel three times and had a club room on the first floor they were nice large rooms but this time we were on the second floor our room was very small and claustrophobic nothing like the photos in the booking . We asked for a different room and the man at reception said see me tomorrow morning and if there's a larger room you can have it. Later on in the day my partner went to reception to book a table for an evening meal for us. While she was booking the table the lady at the reception said there were no other rooms you can have. The barman was very polite nice to chat to. We only had one meal in the evening cod and chips could not find much cod it was all batter. Other meal gammon and chips gammon would be good to repair your soles on your shoes. Go to the local chip shop absolutely beautiful. We used the indoor swimming pool which was nice and clean. The gardens are lovely, and the beer is very expensive. Go to the jolly sailor pub with drinks at good prices. Reception is not very helpful. I can't understand why the hotel puts people with dogs on the second floor because when the dog wants to go to the toilet by the time you get down to the entrance the dog has already peed on the carpets. Luckily our dog can hold her pee and she is small enough to carry.I have followed other people with their dogs and seen it. Overall we were very disappointed with our stay this time.

This hotel is great, I do stay regularly due to the location, gardens and parking. Also had 3 course dinner this time rather than just breakfast and it was delicious.

Lovely surroundings, close to the sea. Hotel has seen better days decor-wise, and food was a lower standard than expected.

This hotel had much to offer, good location with a pleasant walk through the grounds directly down to the promenade. Nice original features and friendly staff. The room we were allocated had obviously had a bit of a makeover though the phone and electric vanity mirror did not work. The bed was comfy and the sheets, crisp and white. We were on the second floor with squeaky floorboards made worse by the room above with even squeakier boards and a couple who clearly had to get up every two hours in the night for the loo. The traffic going past disturbed us. We couldn’t leave the windows open. open. The pool was excellent. Nice size, adequate depth with changing facilities and warm showers. And vastly under used. I swam times, towels provided, and twice was completely alone. But the food! Not even three star quality. We ate the first night and didn’t go back.Tired menu ( they had run out of potatoes so my husband had to change from his first choice!) The puddings were clearly from a box in any freezer aisle of the supermarket. The plates were cold. Breakfast too was disappointing for those who don’t want scrambled egg ( the only egg choice) and a bored selection of bacon, sausages, fried tomatoes and hash browns ( supermarket variety) and again the serving plates were cold. The coffee machine was adequate. It’s such a shame. Maybe some rooms are better? Disappointing visit.
