What guests think

At The Cliff Hotel & Spa, travellers highlight stunning coastal views, friendly and welcoming staff, comfortable spaces, and a calm atmosphere, making it a place many return to for peaceful getaways and special occasions.

Rooms are often comfortable with sea views, though some are small or run warm, and a few guests note joined mattresses, soft beds, limited views, or occasional noise near equipment. Cleanliness is frequently praised, though recurring reports mention dusty areas or bathroom issues, and the spa can book up or need minor fixes, while the car park surface divides opinion. Dining is generally tasty, but menu variety, vegetarian options, and breakfast temperature or coffee can disappoint, and service lapses sometimes occur in the bar or restaurant. Expect a scenic, relaxing stay with a few manageable quirks.

The hotel & staff were first class. The spa treatments excellent but a bit expensive. The food was outstanding. The room with a sea view was amazing, every night we had a fantastic view of the sunset in Feb!! The sister hotel opposite served excellent food too. The only downside for us was the state of the car park which looked rather scrappy on arrival & rather let the hotel down.

The hotel has easy parking, although this time it was extremely bizzy, The spa is a relaxing experience, in our allocated slot 3pm the shower in the spas was not working and rather a lot of glasses on the tables in the seating area, The room we stayed in was smaller than usual, standerd with balcony, sadly front views was part of the roof (of the bar ), Bathroom bin rusty/ no coffee/ tea /milk /sugar in room , had to ask at reception, Its a lovely calming location with short walks. However

As always enjoyed our stay at the hotel. Friendly staff, challenging and enjoyable cliff golf course. Evening meals excellent. Disappointed that excellent fried bread at breakfast replaced by hash browns, pre cooked toast not so good. Room cleaning not up to usual standards. One slow charger for electric cars , insufficient, please please upgrade to fast chargers.

I booked an economy class room but I have got an economy class room with sea view which was a surprise. The room was clean and all the necessary items were their. I enjoyed the spa treatment and pool and hot tub. I enjoyed walking by the river side. It was fantastic and adventures stay.

Friendliest Welcome from a receptionist I’ve had in a long time! This top customer service continued throughout my stay, from the spa, restaurant staff and the cleaners! Beautiful hotel, very clean, stunning location and the spa was gorgeous spotlessly clean. My room was small (I did only book a single and at £65 for bed, breakfast and use of the spa was a bargain), but it was really comfy and very clean! I only had breakfast, and it was again the best I’ve had at a hotel in ages. Good clouds, great coffee, perfect poached eggs and a sea view. I was there on business but wish I could have stayed longer! Hope to be back soon :)

The reception was very good and helpful, the restaurant food was amazing and the staff very attentive, the room however although looked good there was a large amount of cobwebs, in the bathroom area and a number of flys on and around the bath, the tiles had a large amount of water marks and the taps and shower had water marks and scale. The standard double was two beds put together so a very uncomfortable night sleep as well kept going down the dip in the middle

The Cliff was a pleasant place to stay for a couple nights. The scenery is pretty exceptional. It is well located for neighbouring Cardigan and Newport. The rooms were modern enough, although judging by the pictures, we hadn't received one of the recently refurbished ones. Despite the in-room literature describing the climate control unit, we couldn't find one in our room - the room did become a bit too warm, but thats only a slight criticism, as it was still preferable to it being too cold. Breakfast was pretty underwhelming, usual selection for a buffet I suppose, but given its proximity (by car) to Cardigan, you can reach some better alternatives with ease. Dinner at the Carreg was markedly better than the breakfast service, although still distinctly average for the vegetarian in our group. Non-vegetarian options were good and the wine selection was similarly plentiful. All things considered, it was a pleasant stay and I would stay here again in the future.

Great location with superb views, especially from the dining area and lower ground lounge/ bar. Staff excellent and food quality generally of a good to high standard.The only gripe would be that coffee served at breakfast on the cold side over three consecutive days and would benefit from being hotter. Room well presented and comfortable but found hand basin on the small size and set too low for anyone six foot or over. Plenty of car parking space but surface finish not the best and would benefit from a tarmac surface with parking bays clearly marked. Would we visit again - most definitely!

Excellent stay incredible Sunday Lunch and breakfast we also had complimentary use of spa I also had a treatment with Ffion which was wonderful thank you Unfortunately a few small negatives for the room a large amount of dust from the extractor fan which was like confetti when the fan was activated. Not sure when it was last cleaned The sink in the bathroom was too small and dangerous with a glass shelf directly above it. Poor view from the room which was overlooked from other rooms

Took the ferry from Fishguard and wanted a pleasant place to stay the night before. This was a great pick! The only disappointing thing was my massage, otherwise it was all great. Solid food, lovely view, friendly staff, great. The room is basic, and the double bed was two singles pushed together, so you're still effectively in a twin as the gap is very noticeable.

Breakfast was also very nice this morning with a very good choice. The staff were extremely pleasant in all areas of the hotel. But a special mention for John on reception, who couldn’t do enough for all visitors. Also Cici was the waitress was informative and very funny a great asset to the restaurant.

Greeted by very attentive & professional reception staff. Executive room was large with plenty of space. Very clean, with a large screen TV & comfortable king size bed. Food in the restaurant was excellent as were the staff. Bar area is comfortable with drinks at reasonable prices for a hotel. I would recommend this hotel. The ratings only give it 3stars?? but it is far superior than many 4 star+ hotels I've stayed in.

We thoroughly enjoyed the spa. Our room didn't have a view but it was very comfortable and quiet even though there was a wedding. The breakfast was not great unfortunately as nothing was hot and the coffee machine produced undrinkable cappuccino, I asked a young guy if one could be made from the proper coffee machine behind the bar but he said that there was no one to do it.
