#### The photography really does not get close to doing this property justice.

The photography really does not get close to doing this property justice. The views from Cliff House are magical. The house itself is perfectly set up for 4-5 five people. We went with teenage kids and there was enough room for everybody to have their own space and enjoy their time. A great house with phenomenal views in a brilliant location.

Spectacular property on top of the cliff with gorgeous coastal views. Very well equipped we didn't leave the property for the time we were there so didn't explore the wider area. A luxurious treat and recommended.

They say that photos can be deceptive - very often photos of houses look better than the actual place. Cliffhouse defies that logic and no photos can do justice to the beauty of the place. Breathtaking, jaw dropping, incredibly beautiful - what can I say about the awesomeness of the views and the beauty of the place. The house itself is modern, very comfortable, very neat and well-equipped. The kitchen and bathrooms -top class. Enough place for kids to run around- would go back again.
