Spent Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and finished on Boxing Day Room spacious and clean, hospitality tray full including chocs. Food excellent and plenty of it. Staff friendly and helpful. Was here 2 years ago and would return if I was on my own for Christmas again. more

Breath taking view from large bay window in our small but comfortable room. Toilet and shower room far too tiny and in need of a refurb. Room 4 is above kitchen and when kitchen in operation there is a very loud buzzing in the room from an extactor fan. This is just not on! However, the owners and staff are... more

A very good stay overall. Our room had a little balcony with a beautiful view of the bay and was charmingly decorated. The restaurant had a good menu and we enjoyed the atmosphere and food. The staff were very friendly and quite accommodating of our dog. The only thing that was less than ideal was the shower which would sporadically... more

We enjoyed our stay at the Cliffemount hotel, the hotel staff were very friendly and welcoming. The views over the bay are to die for and the setting is very peaceful and relaxed. We booked a standard double room which was very comfortable and clean with a large bathroom with efficient shower and bath. The bed was really comfortable. There... more

With a few significant 'tweaks' this could be a great hotel. The sea view is to die for, and the evening meal food is good (although somewhat overpriced). On the whole, the staff were pleasant too. On the downside, the hotel needs to address 4 important points: 1. We had a child with us but the hotel doesn't really cater... more

My daughter, her young daughter and I stayed in the apartment attached to the hotel. We paid £500 for (I think) five nights. On the plus side the accommodation was warm. On the minus - the sitting room cum dining room cum kitchen was sparsely furnished. It just wasn't homely. There was a double sofa bed and one armchair, four... more

We have long planned to visit the Cliffemount-and what a disappointment! Two plusses: the view of the bay from our room was fabulous,despite the poor weather,& given the downsides we experienced,we were glad we paid the extra.Dinner was also good, though the menu varies daily as to be expected & we wished we'd eaten on the Friday instead of the... more

I recently visited the Cliffemount Hotel for the third time. My two previous visits were made when the previous owner was in charge. The difference is amazing. The previous owner was friendly, hospitable and gracious.The present owners do not have these personal skills. My bedroom was dated and tired. The bed was too soft and was past its best. The... more

We booked a room with countryside views, room was clean and bright but really no difference in quality to the many good b&b's we've stayed in over the years- so to be charged around £90 for the room seemed very over priced... Runswick Bay is lovely but in terms of nightlife there is only one other pub and as this... more
