We booked quite late but it was value for money. I loved the 1920's feel to the building whilst having modern facilities in the room such as flatscreen tv, internet access etc. It was a 10 minute walk to the twon center and if thats too much, it's opposite a bus stop that runs a tour bus as well as...

We were give initially a very very small back room which was so small you could hardly get past the end of the... More

Thank you Neil Harvey for taking the time to post review. It's always nice to get good feedback for all the staff. We are in the middle of a Re-decoration program and this does take time, Our rooms do vary in size slightly with it being an older building but adequate all the same. Glad that you enjoyed the breakfast... More

We enjoyed our visit to the Cliffeside. Everyone made us feel really welcome. Our room was clean and comfortable - the maid even made our daughter's travel-cot bed - and the view from the window was excellent. The self-serve breakfast ensured we were full until late afternoon and allowed us to explore the area with a full tummy! The restaurant... More

The reception staff were very helpful and attentive. Our room at the side of the hotel was dated, but clean, tidy, comfy bed and chairs, TV worked well, and everything was clean and working... More

Stayed at the Cliffeside for a long weekend booked at the last minute. The hotel is in a fantastic location overlooking the sea and only 5-10 minute walk from bars and restaurants.
