Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Cliff Hotel & Spa offers stunning views and convenient access to a scenic coastal walk. Guests often praise the excellent breakfast, with its plentiful buffet and fantastic views from the breakfast room, though some have noted the self-service style. The spa and golf facilities are very nice, and for special events, the hotel is capable of coordinating excellent wedding receptions. Many rooms are large and very clean, and while a few guests found some fittings a bit dated, the beds are typically very comfortable.

terrific stay!

great spagluten-free foodwarm room
The hotel had a great spa. I had access each day for one hour. the hotel offered a selection of gluten-free food, helpful for my dietary needs. I chose to eat at the hotel for both nights because there was plenty of choice, it was very convenient.
Room was warm. And the hummus and flat bread served in the evening were poor. I heard a low bass beat at night, i think because there was a wedding venue in operation.

I enjoyed the balcony sea view room. It was well equipped. The cleanliness was also very good. The terrace bar was open. I tried Pembrokeshire Sirloin Steak with peppercorn sauce and it was tasty. Luke was amazing at dinner.
The menu in the restaurant is fairly small in choice. Presentation looked good, but the taste was uninspiring.

underwhelming experience overall

loud noisedirty plates
I stayed in room 12. i reported a loud engine noise in the room around 7pm. i was told it would stop around 8.30pm, but it only reduced slightly. A rumbling and whining noise continued all night! the presentation of the food looked quite good, though the taste was uninspiring. i went down for breakfast early due to sleep issues and found dirty plates.
