It was with great excitement that we went for a our first trip to the Isle of Wight. The atrocious weather aside, we did enjoy seeing the island. However our stay at the Clifton was a mixed bag. The room was very clean and warm, bed very comfortable and the hotel is perfectly situated- was a real joy to eat... More

We stayed here in very mixed weather - at one stage the owners had to cope with guttering torn off in high winds and causing a flood! - but the warmth of their welcome and the standard of service never varied. The rooms and bathrooms were clean and comfortable, the communal areas really welcoming and the views and walks unbeatable.... More

We planed our Easter week end in Isle of Wight. we had choice between several brochures and websites. We finally turned to this Hotel due to the Sea view, price, and proximity to the old village. The booking was very friendly, and we managed to get the desired room for the week end. We enjoyed the warm and welcoming atmosphere.... More

(they have only been there for three months). We had what I think was the best room with a balcony (£128)... More

We stayed at this lovely little place in April 2011 and had a great time. The people that run it are lovely, pleasant and helpful without being too imposing and over the top. We paid a little bit more for a sea view room but it was worth it. It is right on the sea front. We had a huge... More

We booked this hotel for our anniversary and the photographs on the website made it look very nice. We pulled up outside the hotel and was looking forward to getting inside - the branding on the signage looked very contemporary and we were confident that we would get a nice hotel with a seaview as booked. Not so... The reception... More
