July stay at the Clifton

Hotel refurbished and updated to a very high standard. We were impressed at the cleanliness and eco-awareness at the hotel, together with helpful and attentive staff. This was an all-too-short but very memorable stay.

Lovely Hotel by The Sea

Stayed here several years ago when it was a Best Western. Been modernised and much better now. Room was clean, new, spacious and quiet. Wifi worked fine. We ate dinner in the restaurant which was good. Nice selection of steaks.

Lovely Hotel and excellent food

Lovely hotel, very smart with friendly greeting on arrival. Lovely and quiet, large room with great sea view, with air conditioning. Added bonus of Marco Pierre White Restaurant in the hotel, serving excellent food and comfy chairs in the bar. Lovely quality breakfast the next morning with garden views. Stress free night away with paid street parking nearby.

Really impressed with our overnight stay at this lovely hotel. Great location and the hotel itself was super clean. We were in a "cosy" room but it was plenty big enough for us. We didn't eat or drink in the hotel so I can't vouch for the food etc but the place itself was great.
