What guests say
9.1 / 10 · Wonderful on Booking.com, from 220 guest reviews
The Cliffside Inn earns consistently strong praise for its unbeatable position on the Cliff Walk, its included breakfast, and its warm, boutique atmosphere with charming décor and hospitable staff. The main recurring drawback is the absence of a lift — multiple guests flagged the multi-floor climb as a real challenge for less mobile travellers or those with heavy luggage — and a few guests in the cottage annex noted noise and climate-control issues. Overall sentiment is very positive, with guests overwhelmingly describing it as a gem worth returning to.
