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.

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.

the only downside was the quality of the evening dinner served in the bar .
it was of a very poor quality urantand consequently we and other residents ate in a local restaurant the following 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.

It was fantastic, really enjoyed spa and leisure facilities.

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!

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.

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 :(

As always our stay in The Cliff was so restful. A total switch off from the outside world. Staff were most hrlpful and friendly, particularly in these difficult times. Looking forward to the next visit.

Above all the staff. Friendly and helpful and they couldn't do enough for you. Food was outstanding and the views weren'd half bad either!

The staff in this hotel make it what it is. My husband and I have also stayed in the Cliff at Lyons which is great too - this hotel has a wonderful location with lots to do and see nearby. It also has an excellent spa and pool which the Lyons sadly lacks.
The food is just okay - breakfast good - the 'bar' food however, we found over priced and unimaginative. We didn't eat in the Michelin starred restaurant, having been broadly unimpressed in the bar and with an eye watering bill for what little we ordered. We went on our second evening to a restaurant in Dungarvan near by (20 minutes drive) and received a good quality meal for the same price with two more courses than that which we enjoyed in the Cliff.
The staff are the diamond in the crown of this hotel however - every single one of them friendly, helpful - they simply can't do enough for you. Customer experience is theirs to own and boy do they take their ownership seriously!! Really fantastic people working in this hotel - the guests are extremely well cared for.
The rooms are clean and well appointed - excellent little extras and lots of creative thinking into how to make the guest experience great. If a rethink happened about the pricing for the bar food there would be little to criticize this hotel for!

Cliff House Hotel is simply the best hotel in Ireland that we have stayed in. The welcome and personal service from the staff is what makes it a truly special place. And it helps to have one of the best fine-dining restaurants in the country on site. The setting on the cliff overlooking the village of Ardmore is also a one-of-a-kind experience with the nearby cliff walk.
