The welcome and warmth we had heard about did not disappoint. From booking to arrival we were very week catered for. The staff are all very knowledgable about the hotel and the surrounding area and are very ready to share this with their guests.The rooms have everything you wold expect in an hotel of this standard. Room service was prompt... More

This hotel relies too heavily on location and lets all else fall through the cracks.  That may be OK in some locations, but they do not have a location that even somewhat excuses the lapses. First of all, the room, which was drowned in pink, was not set up with the basics, soap, shampoo etc.  When you call down for... More

As a special birthday celebration we stayed last weekend in the Cliff Hotel. On arrival, the receptionist was warm , friendly and extremely efficient. The view of Ardmore bay was incredible, and the bedroom itself had flatscreen television, c.d player, selection of books and d.v.d's electric iron and teamaking facilities. Such a beautiful bathroom, huge free standing bathtub, and a... More

Just back from a weekend in the Cliff House, it was really excellent. Arriving the concierge took my car keys and luggage - nice touch as parking spaces were limited. Our room was very spacious with a great ocean view. We dined both nights in the Michelin star resturant - it was probably the best meal I have ever had.... More

Really high-quality hotel in a small village in West Waterford. Service that looks this effortless always has a lot of hard work behind it, and from start to finish, service was excellent. The room was fantastic, split area with two TVs, one for the bed, one for the couch! Beautiful view over the bay also. Great shower, bath, and extremely... More

This unique hotel would give La Chèvre d'Or in Eze (another Relais hotel) a run for its money! The views!!! If only we had the weather. I was blessed with a beautiful day though I'd say a stormy day would bring its own magic. Service, food, pillows, bed, waterpressure, Spa...everything perfect. I had one little disappointment which was dealt with... More

Beautiful hotel in an amazing setting. Great service. Gorgeous room. Lovely pool, outdoor jacuzzi a real treat. Dinner was an experience, attention to detail & service second to none. My only gripe would be that there wasn't much in the way of toiletries in the room & what was there wasn't particularly luxurious but that won't stop me returning. Can't... More
