Top West Cliff Hotel Reviews

The Riviera Guest House

8/10 Good

"Very clean room,good breakfast very good parking with permit and friendly staff."

Esklet Guest House

8/10 Good

"The parking is limited for the guest house but it's like this for most of them, if you do get a spot the guest house do give you a free parking permit, it was full on our visit so we had to park in the leisure center up the road cost £13 for 24 hours, the room was was clean as was the bathroom with power shower, tea and a kettle provided, an hairdryer, WiFi was a little unpredictable, and we had no natural light or view as it was overlooking another guest house that was so close it blocked out most of the light, but as we were there just for an overnighter it wasn't a problem, the location is good, about a 10 minute walk down to the town center, there is a petrol station and the top of the road too.. "

The Beaches Guest House

10/10 Excellent

"Room was comfortable but a little cramped for two people . Tea /coffee making was available but didn’t use , shower was very good with plenty of hot water. Clean and soft towels.Breakfast was excellent and Tamsin the host was very friendly. We’ve been before and will definitely go again. Just a 10 minute stroll to the front with shops and bars . "
