    Lack of relaxing areas to read outside of bedroom Our bedroom was difficult to walk around due to the smallness of the room. My husband and I are not tall or big people but banged off the TV trying to move around at times.

    Ambiance was lovely, friendly , and very professional. Food exceptionally good, great variety and of a very high standard

    Our bedroom was on the 2nd floor and we were kept awake by a performer in the bar on the ground floor who started at 10pm -( billed to end at 2am) we should have been told before arrival and given the opportunity to cancel our rooms and then maybe people who wanted the entertainment could have taken them - the bar was relatively empty

    Breakfast excellent, restaurant menu delicious and the staff were lovely

    Lack of a safe in my room

    Hospitable, courteous and approachable staff across the board. The range of breakfast choice on offer and the quality of the breakfast items I had were of 5 star standard and beyond . The bedroom was standard, clean, bed very comfortable 👍😆, but showering towels were size inadequate for an adult.

    My bed wasn’t the most comfortable; it seemed like I could feel the springs through the mattress.

    Staff were super friendly and helpful, going above and beyond on multiple occasions. Dinner and breakfast were excellent. Location right across from the beach was lovely.

    The toilet and bathroom could have been a little more lit and clean. There were no bottles of drinking water in the room, unlike all other hotels of this type in Ireland. I didn't find a hairdryer either. The room smells food being cooked downstairs in the restaurant and is quite noisy. The door is locked with a very old tricky lock, which is not always easy to deal with.

    Cozy hotel with convenient access to the beach. Nice atmosphere, attentive staff. Wonderful restaurant downstairs, excellent cuisine. Family rooms are small but equipped with everything you need.

    I really enjoyed my stay at the Cliff House Hotel. Everyone from management to staff were very welcoming and helpful from the moment I walked in the door. The first room I was allocated was very small but when I mentioned this there was no problem and they moved me to a bigger room for the same rate. It was last minute when I booked so I was grateful to have had the opportunity to move. The room was bright, very clean and even though there was no bath the shower had fantastic pressure and plenty of hot water. There were two single beds and the bed had crisp linen and was very comfortable. The room overlooked the back yard and had a small view of the sea between buildings but the beach was only a short walk from the hotel so that didn't bother me. I still got to see the most beautiful sunset out my window. I had forgotten my hair drier and the rooms don't have any but I was able to borrow one from reception for the duration of my stay. The staff in all areas were very friendly and helpful. I ate in the bar both nights and the food was delicious with plenty of choice. The staff were very attentive and constantly checked if I needed anything and never left me waiting for service. I have to mention the breakfast, there was a huge selection of fresh fruits, juices, yoghurt, cereals, breads, meats, cheeses, etc. if you just wanted a continental breakfast and the hot breakfast menu had a great selection also. The omlette was perfectly cooked and very tasty. I'll definitely be back!
