ザ クリフデン ホテル

Great location, I will be back 👍

The sash window in our bathroom has been partially replaced by something that didn't fit the hole and left a large gap so both bathroom and bedroom were freezing!!! And as it was May the heating had been turned off. Breakfast was disappointing....the staff seemed reluctant to replenish the buffet...we had to ask several times for basic items to be supplied. Reception staff were very dismissive of our concerns! Definitely wouldn't stay here again.

Lovely gardens. Friendly helpful staff but no-one was able to say where alternative parking could be although we we very lucky to have got a parking spot within the hotel. We would like to have refrozen our ice packs so that we could buy food for a picnic lunch and keep it all cool but only discovered that we could do this by chance and when it was too late. Clean and tidy room but one clean towel had an old brown stain on it. Bathroom needs updating in the Club bedroom and get rid of the shower over the bath and just have a walk in shower! Breakfast was average. The lift was out of order for the duration of our stay..3 days. We had a room on the second floor but luckily could manage the stairs. The view from our room was beautiful! We would stay there again for a short break.

Great location we’ve stayed here a few times, lovely sized rooms, clean and comfy bed. Good car parking and buffet breakfast in the morning, if you want fried or poached eggs they will do them on request. We had a little well behaved dog with us, no problems at all but I think £20 is a bit excessive for the night as the prices were hiked up anyway as it was August. They do have a lovely swimming pool to use as well but we didn’t get chance to use it on this occasion. Will definitely be retuning.

The staff were all lovely. The bedroom we had definitely needs updating. Old style furniture and mis matching. The building and grounds are lovely with a gate entrance at the back to get to the sea. However it is looking a little tired. The breakfast was good although we had to ask for more to be brought out as some had run out. Something that should have noticed.

Beautiful gardens, good for dogs. Lovely swimming pool.

Very lovely hotel, great location, all staff were excellent, friendly and done a great job. Unfortunately for us, and as I have reduced mobility, the lift was not operating, being on the second floor was a bit tricky, but we managed also we had a partial sea view, so I didn't won't to change, the staff would have helped if we had asked. The grounds were fabulous and had pretty much direct access to the beach. The swimming pool was lovely, however a bit shallow for adults to have a good swim, but very safe for children. Overall a really great weekend away, thanks.

The room was very very tired and the bathroom left a lot to be desired. The extractor was covered in dirt, dust and cobwebs. Rust and mould clearly visible. Bed was ok, bed was ok relatively comfortable. Organisation and management seems very slack inasmuch items on the menu, which didn’t change daily at all, were constantly not available and simple things like asking for a packet of crisps from the bar, they had run out. Breakfasts were terrible. You constantly had to ask for items that had run out and hadn’t been topped up in all areas, including cups which you often had to ask for. Positive things about the hotel is their swimming pool which was lovely and the fact that they are very dog friendly. Overall I would say the hotel needs a very big overhaul.

Lovely pool before a great breakfast

Meget venligt personale og hjælpsom personale. Kedelig morgenmad af kedelig kvalitet.

We loved our stay at the Cliffden. It’s perfectly located for train travellers and it’s a short walk through the beautiful and extensive grounds to the sea front and the town centre. The friendly staff were exceptionally helpful and the freshly renovated swimming pool was the jewel in their crown.

Rent og pent, men slitt. Frokosten var veldig enkel. Beliggenheten var nydelig oppe på en høyde. Hagen var ikke vedlikeholdt, men stor og fin. Fin atmosfære på verandaen, med gjester som var godt voksne.

A nice hotel set in 7 acres of garden with access directly onto the sea front. All staff were very friendly and helpful although at busy times at breakfast time they could do with more people to help out. The pool was a great asset in the hot weather and fans in the bedroom helped with the heat and was a nice touch. The only minor complaint I might have is the traffic noise from the busy road just behind the hotel. I had a bedroom facing this road ( the back of the hotel) and the traffic started early in the morning and carried onto late into the evening. It was quite loud as I had the windows open due to the heat.

The only downside to this hotel is the fact that it at the top of a hill from Teignmouth. A big climb if you are travelling by train. Other than that he hotel itself was well maintained. The rooms comfy. Widescreen Tv and free wi fi. The cooked breakfasts were good and if there was anything they didn't have, you could always ask for it. Overall, a very good short holiday. Would i go again - definitely, but oh that hill.

A very pleasant 5 nights spent in this lovely hotel in excellent surroundings. The large garden has a gate with keypad for guests to use to access the town / beach area which makes a much more pleasant 15 minute walk to town than by road. OK it's uphill on the way back but in such lovely surroundings who cares! There are bus stops outside the entrance with direct buses to Exeter via Dawlish, and Newton Abbot via Torquay (no. 2 and 11 respectively, noting that the 11 doesn't pass the hotel on the way back from Torquay). The station is about 10 minutes walk away but we used a taxi, noting that there didn't appear to be a rank at the station but a short walk way near Wetherspoons. No Uber! There's a bar and terrace, also a restaurant we didn't use, apart from the included buffet breakfast. The latter was adequate with all the usual fare and you could ask for vegan sausages and poached or fried eggs to order. We didn't use the pool which is quite shallow and I did spot a room with a pool table. It is a dog friendly hotel which may deter some but not us. Because of the design some of the corridors do have slight slopes which can catch you unawares. If using the seating in the garden be aware they are not always clean due to the plentiful bird life! Staff were very friendly and courteous throughout. Rooms are cleaned "as required" if you put the hangar on the door. Check in is fairly late by hotel standards (16:00) but you can leave bags with reception. Thoroughly recommended!

The hotel was in a great location. We were a group of 7 Gentlemen Golfers and we stayed in the Hotel for 4 nights. The staff were brilliant, the breakfast was hearty and filling. We enjoyed "chilling" in the indoor swimming pool. Although we did not have a dog with us, it may be helpful to know that the hotel is dog friendly. The gardens of the hotel were exceptional, and you walked through them for easy access to the beach and Town. I would recommend a stay at the Cliffden hotel.

We don't normally send 'bad' reviews but contact the hotel directly if we have an issue so this is unusual for us. We booked 2 nights at the Cliffden Hotel but the room we were given was very small, which normally wouldn't be a problem, but was unbearably hot and we could barely open the window on the hottest day of the year. We knew immediately we couldn't stay there but we're told they were full so couldn't offer us an alternative room. We spoke to one of their management team and left after 10 minutes

Room tidy if a bit dated, lots of floorboard noise within room and especially above. Very good staff. Great breakfast with excellent choices, the hotel grounds are superb , very well kept and great to stroll and sit in. Very good swimming pool and facilities.

Staff were friendly and helpful, rooms were very clean, a good hearty breakfast

The website states that certain dishes on the menu are available 24/7, they’re not. I was refused any type of evening meal at 7pm as the kitchen was too busy with a coach party to provide me with a dish of pasta to take to my room. This is not good customer service and that information regarding the menu should be removed, it is very misleading. On the plus side the gardens, pool and location are excellent.
