Galway to Kilkenny Private Premium Car Services

What a fantastic hotel. Amazing professional staff who were also extremely helpful and friendly. Gorgeous rooms, great spa and pool and what a view. Food was fabulous and myself and my husband can't wait to return.

We had an absolutely superb experience 2 weeks ago with the 7 course tasting menu. It was wonderful. Although we had dined here a number of times previously we were slightly apprehensive as Roisín O'Connor has only recently stepped into the Head Chefs role and the Irish Independent's food critic had given the House Restaurant fine dining a poor review. We needn't have worried! Each course was delicious, beautifully presented and served. The experience was as good if not better than any time we dined in the past. Well done Roisín and team. PS - The response from Patrick Shields to the grossly unfair review from the Indo critic was spot on!

Before I begin my review I have to admit I left a negative review some years back after our first visit, I'm pleased to say the Cliff house has really upped their game since then and our most recent visits have been wonderful. We traveled with our twin daughters aged 14 years and booked into one of their beautiful Beach suites. This is our third visit to the Cliff House and I must say on this visit we found every member of staff we came into contact with to be super friendly and helpful, even more so than in previous visits so kudos to their hotel manager. The location is simply breath taking, hopefully during your visit you will enjoy the lovely weather we experienced. The room view is amazing, a super comfy bed, bathroom well stocked with products and a wonderful double shower bathroom overlooking the sea. Their food offering is pretty decent for hotel food. We ate in their fine dining House Restaurant which offers only a tasting menu. We thought the food was good but not amazing, certainly not as good as their previous chef’s tasting menu. There are sea based activities available which can be booked through the hotel to keep moody teenagers happy. I used the spa facilities and must say the massage quality was superb, very well trained masseuses. One thing that some hotels do badly is breakfast. It's the last meal a guest will have before departure therefore, it should be a good one and I'm pleased to say Cliff House do offer a quality breakfast, great choice and quality ingredients- 5 stars to the Cliff. I'd recommend this hotel for a romantic break or if traveling with older kids.

Excellent welcome. Fabulously comfortable room overlooking the sea. Good dinner in bar and breakfast was good too. When there was something not right the staff responded positively and swiftly. Enjoyed a swim in the pool - sadly not there long enough to enjoy the facilities more.
