We had a lovely stay at the cliff hotel only one criticism and it’s only a small one. Our room is really small. We had wright room.
We did struggle my friend is elderly and he found the steps going up to the bathroom at night confusing Also could there be a rail coming out of the bath because when you have a shower, you have to step at the bath and when you’re elderly like my
Friend was he really struggled and a couple of hooks in the bathroom to hang the damp towel when you come out of the shower but I must say your Manager and staff were amazing amazing and we met some lovely people that were local in the bar and the guy and the lady that did the music they were excellent. These are just not criticisms. They’re just a little helpful hints. We would definitely stay again but perhaps not in that room, but we did love the hotel and the staff were amazing

Very busy business ( mid summer plus very hot). Beautifully situated with distant view of the Needles. Good breakfasts. Dinner spoiled by a very raucus leaving party.( ??house rules on guest behaviour ). Lovely cliff top walking area. A tad pricey for our liking, but overall a lovely place to stay for a couple of nights.

Cliff House was a great stay for one night. The staff were very helpful. We stayed in a ground floor room opposite the carpark which was not the best in terms of view but OK for one night (given accessibility was more important). The room was clean and nicely decorated, it had a slightly musty smell perhaps because it was on the floor next to kitchens etc but overall fine. The fan was going in the room as we arrived and was definitely welcomed in this heat.
The building is older so it was slightly noisy at night with people staying above us walking up and down at 2/3am and then again at 5am! Which woke us up. That is the only grumble we would have.
Hotel is joined to the bar which was ok. It was not invasive as I had originally feared. Beautiful spot over all and a lovely place to be - staff were wonderful.

Lovely stay at this little gem of a hotel, staff were friendly, very helpful and polite. Breakfast service was very good, and evening dinner was high quality.
Bar / restaurant always busy with customers.
My room was upgraded and was lovely, comfortable and i really enjoyed my stay for 3 nights. New bathroom with really nice local organic toiletries.
I would thoroughly recommend this hotel for solos or couples, plenty of car park spaces, and local to New Forest, Bournemouth and is even good for a quick visit to the Isle of Wight.

Absolutely loved our 2 night stay here, one of the nicest hotels we’ve stayed in. Super friendly staff from the moment we walked in, nothing was too much trouble, they are genuinely invested in making each and every guest feel valued and welcome. We stayed in Portland and it was a delightful room; spotlessly clean with a stunning view of the needles. Nice little freeview tv with all apps available to log into. Food and drinks really good. Try the spicy mango margarita, absolutely bang on ;) thanks to all for making my daughter’s A Level results day so memorable and positive. We will be back for sure.

A real gem on the coast.

The Cliff House was an excellent resto-pub with rooms. We bagged the last room and although a bit on the small side (which he had been advised in advance), it was well appointed and scrupulously clean. The bed was very comfortable and the furnishings had a nautical theme. Food was outstanding and great value. Staff were delightful and most helpful. The beer garden was a bonus too. A great little spot overlooking the Channel.

Excellent service

We arrived later than we expected, the restaurant and bar area was busy, but we were immediately recognised as new arrivals, with a smile and friendly welcome.

We were immediately shown our room and asked if we were happy with it and if we required anything else.

We were provided with information about breakfast and how to access the hotel after hours should we require it.

Our room (Wight) was the smallest (our choice) but it was warm, outstandingly clean, as was the en-suite and of a beautiful, contemporary and stylish design.
As expected, towels, hairdryer and fan were of an exceptional quality.

The bathroom was well stocked with full size, New Forest aromatherapy toiletries.

A lovely selection of teas, coffees and bottled spring water were provided in our room.

The included choice of breakfast was the best we’ve ever eaten (we opted for the full English).

Heather who attended to us on our first day was friendly and helpful, as were the bar staff (who loaned us a corkscrew) and the manager Jordon.

I was born and bred in this area, now living in Cornwall and was thrilled to receive such a high standard of hospitality.

Ok but noisy and unpleasant entrance.

The room inside was ok but lost power in the morning and you could hear the hand dryers from the restaurant until it closed. Outside the room was the issue. The entrance to the Biscay room is right next to and between the bins! If you can overlook this you might not be able to miss the noise when they dump rubbish and bottles every so often. Don’t choose this room.

not our 1st stay & not our last!

Although this is a hotel, its more of a restaurant with rooms now. So it was quite noisy and busy in the evenings, with live music on one evening. However the music/bar closes promptly at a reasonable hour so not a huge problem. The staff are lovely and the restaurant food was fabulous. So much so that we ate far too much...It sits on the cliff top and we were able to hear the waves crashing overnight to lull us too sleep, not our first stay and wont be the last.

Great hotel but poor assessability

This hotel was excellent in most respects. However, for my wife who has mobility issues the lack of a lift to the rooms was a big issue. There was also no lounge where she could sit as all public areas were either busy bars or restaurants open to the public so after 12.00 there was nowhere where she could escape to except the room. We should have tried to book the one room on the ground floor suitable for wheelchair users. The staff did their best to make her comfortable. The food was excellent.

Wish this had been a summer booking!

Two nights in betwixtmas. I was amazed at how busy the place was with downstairs diners and drinkers. The car park was very busy (although there was room for me quite close to the door). The noise from all this barely has any impact once in one's room. I thought the breakfast was good, plentiful and a decent choice. My room was on the small side but a good shower room and comfy bed so the essentials were fine. TV a bit weak but maybe it was because it was blowing a gale outside. Had dinner one evening but that seemed a bit expensive - however given how busy the tables were it clearly isn't an issue locally. Great view on a nice day (it was bleak) and staff efficient.

Not a quiet escape.

I booked the hotel for a last minute escape to the sea side over bank holiday. Was looking forward for peaceful time. The restaurant and outside area were very busy both nights. It didn't disturb by sleep, so I was ok with this.

If you are looking for a quiet escape, check with the hotel about the evening plans.

The hotel itself is very nice. Only a few rooms. We stayed in Biscay, which overlooks the car park. The room itself is spacious, although the lighting needs to be improved - it is very dark during the evening.
The bathroom is easy for anyone with access needs. However, the shower is not overly powerful and the sink is tiny - resulting in water splashing onto the floor.
The photo's of this room do not do it justice. Having your own door is a nice bonus and there is use of a disabled bay. Note that the car park can become extremely busy - resulting in loss of the space at busier times.
The restaurant is excellent and the food is highly rated. However, due to the popularity for diners, there can be a lot of noise late at night. We found some of the guests to be very loud and could hear them eating for taxi's. This dos not bother us, but you may need to consider when booking.
The staff are welcoming and friendly and really can not do enough to assist you during your stay.
Overall, we would highly recommend a stay at this hotel and will certainly return.

Perfect Hotel by the cliffs

I booked on the morning we arrived. My Son & I arrived early but our room was ready. We were very impressed with the decor and facilities in our room. Nothing could be faulted. We only stayed for 1 night but our room was comfortable, location was amazing and perfect for what we had planned. Breakfast was included and was delicious and set us up for the day. We would definitely recommend & consider revisiting one day

The Cliff House was a wonderful stay. The staff were all extremely friendly and professional. Very relaxed atmosphere! The food was great and so were the rooms including incredible view. We will definitely return there, we didn’t want to leave!

A cliff top treasure by the sea

Booked as a last minute day away by the sea - glad that we did. A wonderful find with great staff, food and location. The atmosphere was great, boasting live music in a friendly and vibrant setting with fantastic views of the isle of white. Highly recommended, and we will definitely go back.

Many aspects delightful, but the en suit bathroom was not what I expected. The basin was tiny and no room to put toiletries.

We had a lovely first night, but unfortunately my brother in law passed away suddenly at home so we had to leave in a hurry , the manager was so lovely and understanding .
We will definitely return as it was a lovely hotel in a great location .

Very good reception, the manager Steve upgraded us to the very good sea view room. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The food was very good with a good menu. Because of its popularity the bar and restaurant can be very busy and quite noisy but it quietens down later in the evening to leave a very quiet and peaceful night. The location with its sea views towards the Isle Of Wight ic excellent.
