“Fine food, bay views, characterful layout & intriguing decor -it's a 5”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 January 2012

Tenby is an architectural gem of a town, with a medieval street plan, some fine Georgian and Regency properties overlooking the Bristol Channel & largely-intact town walls. We've been twice in six months. We so enjoyed our stay at the Cliffe Norton in August that we had no hesitation in booking again for Christmas, The food is all that anyone could wish - high quality ingredients combined to produce tasty & varied menus, presented for maximum eye-appeal on the plate & in portion sizes that never left you feeling under-provided for. Martin is a chef proprietor & his pride in his kitchen is evident from the highly-enjoyable results. He and Christine run a genuinely friendly hotel with a relaxed atmosphere and their own cheerful dedication seems to be repaid with loyalty and commitment amongst their hard-working staff. A word about the premises too. The Cliffe Norton combines three originally separate properties with slightly differing floor levels, which lends the layout real character. There is an attractive 'grand staircase' in what had clearly been a high-status house and the decor here in particular makes the most of it - definitely added value in my book. The level changes are clearly manageable even by relatively elderly people, to judge from the large number of older guests during the Christmas period. Good all round then & clearly we're not the only guests who willingly come back for another stay. Like I said, we'll give it five.

Room Tip: You'll get good sea and town views from most rooms at the front of the hotel - one slight except...

“Cliffe Norton Hotel. Would recommend this to all groups or individuals”

It is the practice of the Hucknall 50plus Club of Nottinghamshire to travell to different parts of the country twice a year with some 80plus members. It is our policy never to visit the same venue within three years. However having visited the Cliffe Norton in March 2010 and at the request of the members, we returned to the Hotel on the 19th November for a 4day stay with some 84 members of the club. We were not disapointed as the welcome by Martin (who is also the chef) , Christine and their staff was very warming. The cases quickley disappeared to the respective rooms whilst we had coffee and toasted tea cakes. The food was excellent and all individual requests to the staff were carried out with a smile. In the evening the entertainmment was suitable for all our ages and from the first song our group were enjoying the dancing (my only adverse comment is the space for dancing is small, however we coped with this problem very well). As a group we will visit the Cliffe Norton again in the furture and would recommend it for its fantastic food well prepared and served. The friendliness of all the staff from the owners Martin andChristine to Mary reception and Jill at the bar

I have stayed at the Cliffe Norton for 4 years in a row for a long weekend and I will continue to visit every year.
The hosts Christine and Martin are very friendly and very accomdating. Our room was clean, comfortable and tastefully decorated. The view of the beach and sea though was breath taking - fanastic view.
The food is awesome. I cannot rate it high enough - tasty, lots of options and cooked to perfection both evening meal and breakfast. The staff are friendly and very attentive in the restuarnate.
The hotel is situated around a 5-8 minute walk from the town centre - excellent location.
Brilliant value for money and I will continue to return year after year.....

Room Tip: A room in the front of the hotel for lovely sea views!

“Cliffe Norton Tenby”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 November 2011

Lovely hotel. Rooms clean and comfortable. Food excellent. Staff most friendly and accommodating. Super position overlooking North Beach. Entertainment very good,

I went on a coach with a Line Dancing group, we had to take our time travelling as the hotel could not take us till 3pm, but when we did get there we were greeted with teacakes and tea or coffee. Have been on quite a few of these trips and this was the first time to be greeted like this and it was very welcome.

Room Tip: You could request a sea view, I did but did not get one, but it didn't put me off.

Just arrived home after a four day stay. This family run hotel is real value for money.
The accommendation,food ,entertainment and attention shown to guests is first class. The hotel is ideally situated on the seafront with beautiful views of the coast, and five minutes walk to the town centre.We're already thinking of a return visit, if it's just for the delicious food they serve up.Well done and thank you to all the staff.

Room Tip: Choose a sea view if rooms are available
