We ate at the Cliff House yesterday, going to their 'Fish and Fizz' evening. This is a lovely small local hotel with spectacular sea views, a very pretty and welcoming atmosphere and good food. My husband had the local fish(battered) served with chips and peas, he said the fish was delightful and very fresh but slightly disappointed with the chips-... More

Just returned from another short break at this gem of a hotel and once again we had a wonderful time. The rooms are quite small but the views across to the Isle of Wight are stunning. The food is excellent – very creative and lovely fresh ingredients. The duo of lamb was superb. The service is friendly and the hosts... More

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 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

I would not choose... More
