Only stayed for one night so we didn't have a chance to sample the many amenities provided - which all looked great. Location on coast of Ardmore Bay is idyllic with convenient walk to nearby town and strand. Rooms and interior of the facility are wonderfully done, staff bends over backwards to help with anything and the tasting menu dining experience was terrific - a little spendy, but worth it.

Service let it down
Stunning location and views. House restaurant is good, it great. Once the restaurant got busy the service fell off the Cliff. This issue probably leant itself to this less than stellar review, considering the price you’re paying. Hotel itself could do with an upgrade.

1 night An absolutely fabulous hotel in every respect. The luxurious room with a balcony overlooking the bay would be hard to beat anywhere. Service was excellent. But then, it's what you'd expect at such premium prices… Special mention must go to the guy who parked the car and charged it for us overnight – classy.

Amazing hotel. Brilliant staff, food and views!
Our stay in the Cliff House was amazing. The staff couldn’t have been nicer from the moment we got out of the car to the time we were checking out. I must mention the restaurant staff in particular; hard working and well mannered young people who couldn’t have done enough for us both for our evening meal and our breakfast the following morning. The food was excellent for both meals. The room was clean, spacious and had a marvellous view over the water. Not even the miserable weather could spoil the view. The swimming pool was lovely and relaxing, with the outdoor jacuzzi being a special treat. We went twice during our one night stay. Our trip was topped off with a stroll on the stunning Cliff Walk. We’ve done the walk many times before but finally made the jump to stay in the hotel. All in all, a truly memorable trip. We will definitely be returning!

One of the best hotels in Ireland
Idyllic location, welcoming and helpful staff and amazing food. The spa facilities are top class with an amazing option to swim in the refreshing sea and hop into a hot tub or sauna afterwards. The Cliff walk is one of the nicest in Ireland and above all else the staff in this hotel were incredible and made me feel at home from the first moment. Nothing was too much trouble. I didnt want to leave.I highly recommend the Cliff House Hotel.

Wonderful hotel, disappointing dining experience
The hotel is beautiful and staff do everything they can to accommodate you during the stay. This is a very special place with wonderful views and a calm atmosphere. We really enjoyed using the spa too. The only downside was the meal at the Michelin starred restaurant. We did the tasting menu along with wine pairing. They rushed us through the full 8-courses. We wouldn't have minded if it was just the food we were enjoying but pretty soon I had five full glasses of wine in front of me - we didn't have much time to enjoy each course before the next was plonked in front of us. After complaining about the overwhelming speed three times they slowed down and then ignored our table for the remainder of the evening. We left the restaurant fit to burst, with pockets 500euro lighter :(

The view from all areas of hotel is spectacular. The hotel itself is sparkling clean. The staff are welcoming and friendly and waiter service in restaurant and bar are very attentive. Food is excellent. We didn’t have an opportunity to use pool /spa area but we went down to look at it and it looks really well kept and sparkling clean. Bedroom facilities are top notch for comfort and style. Extra touches for generous coffee pods and chocolate bars on the house. Highly recommend this hotel.
