Located along a private road, a short distance from the A38, the Cliff Head hotel is close to gorgeous sandy beaches and coves.
Offering the guest comfort, peace and tranquility, the hotel is still close to all the attractions of the Cornish Riviera.
Built as a prestigious hotel by a local tradesman in 1934, the Cliff Head Hotel has been under private ownership for many years. Perfectly located on a private road in Carlyon Bay, directly opposite the Carlyon Bay Hotel. Overlooking beautiful sandy beaches and coves, close to many scenic clifftop walks offering gorgeous panoramic views of the amazing Cornish coastline, the hotel is right in the middle of the Cornish Riviera, which makes it an ideal base from which guests can go out and explore the numerous and wonderful sights that Cornwall has to offer. Whether it be old castles, historic houses, beautiful gardens which, thanks to the Cornish climate all year round are home to many varieties of tropical plant-life, or the many fishing villages close by, guests won't be short of things to see and do to make their stay a memorable experience they'll want to relive many times.
Guests can relax in the wonderful, pleasant, elegant but informal surroundings of the hotel's newly refurbished restaurant. Offering a delightful, diverse choice of food, the hotel's menus change constantly so you will have a wide range of choice during your stay. The table d'hôte menu changes daily, while the à la carte menu changes with the seasons. Chefs work tirelessly to produce fantastic dishes with ingredients sourced from local producers and suppliers. Complement your meals with a glass of wine from the extensive wine list available.
The Cocktail Bar and lounge in the hotel offer the perfect atmosphere for guests to enjoy their evening, whether starting here and going on to explore the nightlife in the area or just to spend a relaxing evening after taking in the sites on offer during the day. Bar meals and snacks are also available.
