Cliff House Hotel in Ardmore

Cliff House Hotel Ardmore is a 5-star luxury seaside hotel in a small coastal village in County Waterford, Ireland. It is dramatically built into a cliff overlooking Ardmore Bay, with all rooms facing the sea. The hotel is known for its strong focus on ocean views, modern design, and a peaceful escape atmosphere. Key features include a Michelin-starred restaurant, a full spa with an infinity pool overlooking the water, sauna, steam room, and outdoor hot tubs. Guests also have access to coastal walks, a small beach, and outdoor activities like swimming and hiking. It is best known for quiet luxury, relaxation, and nature-focused stays rather than city life, making it popular

The room was perfect, and the pool and massage area were very nice. The staff provided excellent service and were very attentive. However, the food left a lot to be desired — it was quite bland and lacked flavor. It seems like there is more focus on adding exotic elements to the dishes rather than ensuring they actually taste good. Overall, I don’t feel that the food quality matches the price.

Incredible experience from start to finish. Two days of pure indulgence. Setting is stunning, staff are so lovely and the food is delicious. Can't wait to return

Amazing hotel, amazing location, amazing service

Fantastic hotel. We had a room with a balcony. It was winter and we had a view of the waves crashing over the rocks beneath. The room itself was beautiful. Staff were all friendly and helpful. We had a meal in the bar/restaurant. My steak was the best steak I have eaten in a long time. However my wife's chicken wasn't great. Despite that we really enjoyed our stay. It's expensive but worth it.

Stayed for a our Mini Moon in Sept 2025. Beautiful location. The staff on every turn were very attentive detail. The views from restaurant and room were amazing and to have 2 baths on our balcony was something amazing. Spa facilities were top class. Could it be argued that some of the decor / carpets could do with an update? Maybe. But still a very well presented hotel and the food in both restaurants very enjoyable. House restaurant was something different for us in terms of the menu but still a great experience.

Peaceful haven. Gr8 for walks. Very helpful staff.
