Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Seacliffe Hotel commonly impresses with its spotless rooms and delicious breakfast, especially when served on hot plates. Many guests enjoy the amazing sea views, sometimes even spotting dolphins from their bay windows, with binoculars thoughtfully provided in some rooms. While the location offers a nice stroll into town and great views of the Abbey, some guests have noted that it's a bit of a distance from the harbour, bars and restaurants.

mixed feelings about my stay

punctual breakfastunclean bathroomobstructed view
the breakfast service met expectations and was punctual.
The room rate felt disproportionate to the amenities. the bathroom was not properly cleaned on arrival, i found hairs in the shower. also, the promised sea view was partially obstructed by a neighboring building. This discrepancy was disappointing.

Really good Stay with Wonderful Staff

friendly stafflovely breakfastsuperb sea viewmissed room
The staff members were friendly. The breakfast was lovely with various choices available. My room provided everything I needed. it had a superb sea view. I enjoyed my time here very much.
Housekeeping missed my room on the second day, inconvenient. The dirty pots and milk jug remained. bins were not emptied. There was no restock of hospitality trays or top-up of toilet rolls. I hope this will be corrected.

The continental breakfast was really poor! The cooked breakfast was greasy. I couldn't get good picture quality. The WiFi/aerial needs attention. The bathroom needs modernizing. The lady who runs the place seems very unwelcoming.
