The Clifton

The hotel has an excellent location overlooking the sea with extremely pleasant and helpful staff. Our room, number 21, was, as advertised, "compact" but we appreciated the ground floor access. Breakfast offered a varied choice, I especially enjoyed the fruit platter, and also the kippers, as a change from the usual full English breakfast, though would have preferred my toast to be crisp. Food at the hotel was served piping hot on hot plates. The evening meals were imaginative and well presented, the most enjoyable meals we had in the nearby area and were very good value for money.

Comfort and friendly staff

We had a very comfortable stay. The room was a little small but very clean and with a good size and very well presented bathroom. The staff were very welcoming, friendly and efficient. There was a good choice for breakfast: the fruit platter in particular was very welcome but it was all well presented. The location was great - with lovely views over the sea, an easy walk to the beach and to the town centre, and to the delightful chine.
