Appalling Rooms This is quite an old hotel and one of 3 built next to each other by the same chain. One has had a £million pound refit and this is screaming out for the same. The room standard is appalling and is in desperate need of a makeover. The original furniture wouldn't grace a second hand shop. Our room... more

Thank you for your comments regarding your stay at the Cliffeside Hotel. It always saddens me when I read that the hotel has not lived up to peoples expecations, in your case you felt that the room allocated was not you expected even though you booked a standard room, we do offer sea view rooms and a supplement price. Despite...

From the website this looks like a traditional hotel that has been refurbished and modernised. It isn't anything like the website. I arrived at 5.30pm checked into my room and had to go immediately to a business meeting. The room was dark, smelly and with the window open there was the constant noise of the kitchen extractor fan. The furniture... more

Thank you for your recent comments regarding your recent booking at the Cliffeside. The title of your review is a little misleading, as you arrived at the hotel spent half an hour in the room, went out and then decided that the room was not to your liking three hours later. I can not see from our website where you...

What a find! We were lucky enough to pick up a last-minute cancellation for a New Year's Eve package and consequently weren't expecting too much. How wrong we were. Our room was large and comfortably furnished with a bathroom to match. Both the standard of food and the choices available really were excellent, particularly for my wife who being a... more

Stayed here for a couple of nights as a last minute getaway. Decided to go for a cheaper hotel in order that we had more money to spend whilst away. When arrived we were upgraded to a sea view room which was small and not overly modern but was most importantly clean and had everything you needed. However the view... more

August 13 - 16 2007 Celebrating our Silver Wedding Anniversary, we had 3 lovely days at a very reasonable price. When we arrived we were a bit disappointed with the room we were initially given so decided to go and see the Receptionist, she was very pleasant, approachable and apologised. She offered us a choice of 2 other rooms to... more

I was pleased to note that you enjoyed the breakfast, however not the evening meal because it was not to your personal taste, although substantial for most of our guests appetite. If you would like to come back and try the hotel again. Please contact me directly and I can arrange a special offer. Regards Moira Hall Operations Manager

After reading some of the reviews about the Cliffeside, I have to say I was rather dubious about booking. I couldn't have been more wrong, the reviews are very unfair. From the moment my wife & I checked in, our needs were met & exceeded. All the staff we came into contact with were great, especially Rachel, Linda, Martin &... more
