Cliff House Hotel

Cliff House Hotel sets a new standard for those whose love of travel is matched by a passion for fine food. Elegant- modern and intimate- stays revolve around cosy lunches- innovative dining and exquisite scenery. Vast windows fill the hotel with light- and frame green and blue views of the Irish coastline. The panoramas continue in every bedroom and suite- where spacious beds and freestanding baths set a laidback luxury vibe. A spiral staircase unites the levels of the hotel- which perches on the side of a cliff overlooking Ardmore beach. Local art adorns the walls- and Donegal tweed adds an element of softness amid clean lines and slate walls. Hints of maritime style appear in the Seaside Bar and Terrace- where roaring fires keep the cold at bay in winter- while al fresco dining feels more Mediterranean than Atlantic in the summer months. No matter the weather- swimming is available year round in the indoor infinity pool- where guests are treated to more awe inspiring seascapes. From lounging by the pool to relaxing in the spa- serenity is never far away. House signatures include an indulgent outdoor seaweed bath- or a treat for the feet using the anti inflammatory properties of Irish peat. If you prefer your diversions slightly more bracing- you are in the right place. A clifftop walk along the coast will rejuvenate and inspire- and the hotel also arranges sea kayaking- stand up paddle boarding- nature walks and more. Further afield- Waterford is full of historic sights- picturesque towns and quaint fishing villages. Follow a day exploring with a glass of wine in the House Lounge- the perfect spot to while away a calm evening. Cliff House Hotel is a Small Luxury Hotels of the World property.
