This was the second time that my husband and I visited this charming hotel. The owners and staff are so very friendly and helpful. We had the Plymouth room which looked out directly over the large solent bay. You can even lay in bed and watch the waves! Very good English breakfast and a lovely restaurant for evening or lunchtime... More

We have visited this restaurant on numerous occasions and the standard of food is superb. We had fillet steak with HOMEMADE CHIPS !! which you do not get very often elsewhere. I cannot praise the staff enough they have always been very polite and serve you in a very professional manner. The view from the restaurant is outstanding. What a... More

Wednesday night and we're back in London - but still thinking about our relaxing and refreshing weekend. The Cliff House has an unbeatable location - can't think of a better place to have breakfast than the sun lounge with its great views of the IOW and Hengistbury Head. The hotel is a great base for exploring Bournemouth and Christchurch -... More

my wife and i walked into the restaurant almost despite ourselves, but were so pleased. the mushroom and chicken pie had the best - i repeat - the best pastry in a pie i have ever tasted. we had dined at the 2 michelin star Sketch just three nights earlier, and its not any exaggeration to say that the chef...

Stayed at The Cliff House for partners birthday treat. We were greeted with receptionist stating "dont go out without your key as the front door is locked at 20.30hrs! We looked at eachother and giggled like a couple of naughty children. Our room (Dover) was freezing cold, but were told that the heating will be on shortly......it wasnt. We used... More

We stayed for one night having just arrived from Australia. Donald and Kerry were very welcoming and sensitive to our jet lag! Harry the brilliant young chef provided us with a dinner worthy of a michelin star ... we could not fault the food or service. We particularly liked the way in which all the ingredients had been sourced locally... More

We recently stayed in Biscay room and were dissappointed to find that the ensuite was a basic shower with toilet but there was no room for a washbasin so this was situated next to the dressing table in the bedroom .I was not happy with this as it is not visible or mentioned on the website. I would not choose... More

we stayed for 2 nights, what views, and further to a recent reveiw there is a local pub just up the road from this loverly hotel, which has its own bar by the way, the rooms were well laid out and clean, the food was 5* as there table bookings showed, one of the best locations for a long time...

We stayed for 1 night. Hotel is in a lovely location with nice views over the Solent. It is a pity that Barton-on Sea is a sleepy village with little or no facilities. There is not even a pub around! Our room was bright and clean, but the bathroom was a disaster. There is carpet on the bathroom floor, which... More
