“The Cliff House Hotel certainly lives up to its reputation for stunning views of Ardmore Bay. From what I gather, the Michelin-starred House Restaurant is a true highlight, though the casual bar also has excellent food at a more approachable price. With its luxury spa and proximity to the beach and town, it is ideal for travellers looking for a relaxed seaside getaway.”
