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

The food is excellent – very creative and lovely fresh ingredients. The duo of lamb was superb. The service is friendly and the hosts... 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

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
