A 5-Star Hotel in Ireland for Seaside Luxury.
From sun-drenched terraces and private balconies, it is possible to see Ardmore’s golden sands, lobster pots and dolphins that play out on the water. All our luxury hotel rooms and suites are sea-facing while many are interconnected to provide family-friendly configurations.
From this dramatic coastal location in Ireland’s gourmet heartland, it is possible to enjoy some of the country’s best restaurants—including our own Michelin-starred House Restaurant. As well as House, we also offer the more casual Oceanfront Restaurant & bar and summer terrace dining.
Rooted in Heritage.
Our intimate destination spa, The Well by the Sea, is a key attraction. We are close to a number of Ireland’s championship golf courses and encourage outdoor adventures to support your wellness goals, your Five-Star Cliff House Hotel experience always supported by accurate, old-world service that’s warm and true to the Irish spirit.
Our design is Irish modern: white walls, cupa stone columns, sedum moss-covered roofs and limestone terracing. We have Ireland’s largest collection of campaign furniture in addition to specially commissioned artisanal works, from hand-loomed wall pieces by Muriel Beckett to Celtic motifs on bespoke carpets
A coastal Christmas to remember…

Each moment is steeped in winter enchantment, with the sea as your ever-changing backdrop.
From MICHELIN-starred dining in House Restaurant to steamy outdoor soaks as twilight paints the ocean deep blue, the hotel becomes a place of celebration and renewal. Whether it’s a romantic escape or a joyful gathering, Cliff House offers the perfect setting to mark the season in unforgettable style.
