Cliff House Hotel

A gourmet hideaway with coastal charm in Ireland’s south-east corner

Blending Irish warmth with contemporary cool, Cliff House Hotel offers a boutique getaway on Ireland’s eastern shores. Nestled on the south side of Ardmore bay, terraces give way to craggy rocks and an ever-changing sea. Small but perfectly formed, this destination hotel defines itself through world-class gastronomy, the rich heritage of the region, and the stunning scenery it overlooks. 

A towering wall of multi-hued slate greets arrivals, but expansive panoramas are never far away. Simply head seaward and the hotel unveils its treasure: restaurants, rooms, spa and suites all boast their own sea views. Floor-to-ceiling windows drench rooms with light, while super-king-sized beds, free-standing baths and oversized rainfall showers add to a sense of space. Terrace suites are ideal for breathing in sea air in summertime, with feature fireplaces for cosy winter stays. Beyond the bedroom, make time for an hour or two lounging in the Bar Restaurant and Terrace, where sea-green tweed and terracotta tones create a warm welcome. Irish comfort food is the name of the game – the chowder is a must-try, while ribeye steaks melt in the mouth. Appetite sated, your attentions can turn inward. In the heart of the hotel lies The Well by the Sea spa, a spectacular space for pampering soul, body and mind.

Rejuvenation taken care of, it’s time to embrace the great outdoors.

Ardmore village is also on the doorstep, a charming gateway to a golden beach, extensive walking trails, and famous medieval landmarks.

Enjoy your stay!

Cliff House Inspiration

Flavours to surprise and delight…

Infused with French and Thai flavours, House Restaurant puts a distinctive mark on Irish gastronomy. Make no mistake, Irish produce appears throughout, with fresh, local seafood a key feature. But the beauty behind the House’s approach is how homegrown fare is masterfully blended with global influence. The five and seven-course tasting menus take guests on a culinary tour de force, while firmly championing the best of the region.

Food And Drinks

From relaxed lunches to Michelin-starred cuisine, food and drink is central to the Cliff House Hotel experience. At the Bar Restaurant and Terrace, a traditional menu sees Irish favourites served up in easy-going surroundings. While Michelin-Starred House Restaurant plays host to award-winning Irish fine dining, where Tasting Menus combine regional produce with innovative global flair.

House Restaurant

Served Meals: Dinner A Michelin-starred restaurant with a distinct global flair- offering Ardmore and Ireland incredible local produce with global techniques.

Seafront Bar and Terrace

Served Meals: Lunch, Dinner Our Seafront Bar and Terrace offers a menu that is both sophisticated and easygoing as a tribute to the very best of Irish cuisine.

Spa

Taking its name from nearby St Declan’s Well, a sacred spring revered for its healing waters, The Well by the Sea spa is worthy of its own pilgrimage. Take a splash in the indoor infinity pool or outdoor jacuzzi – both come with spectacular sea views. Retreat to a private room for a soothing massage, facial, or full-body treatment. Then for one-of-a-kind indulgence, try the signature ‘Peat for the Feet’ experience. Bespoke botanicals add the final touch, with an in-house range made from 100% organic, local ingredients.
