An Afternoon Overlooking the Atlantic

Afternoon Tea is a tradition dating back to the 1840s, when the Duchess of Bedford, began enjoying a light afternoon meal of tea, sandwiches and cakes to bridge the long gap between lunch and dinner. What began as a private ritual soon became one of the most enduring pleasures of hospitality.

At Cliff House Hotel, we give the tradition our own coastal character, pairing beautifully prepared sweet and savoury treats with warm service and uninterrupted views across Ardmore Bay. It is an invitation to enjoy the simple pleasure of an afternoon by the sea. Generally hosted in the classic luxury of HOUSE Restaurant, and always overlooking the sea.

Dine & Reside

Why let the afternoon end there? Turn your Afternoon Tea into a relaxing coastal escape with an overnight stay at Cliff House Hotel. Settle into your room overlooking Ardmore Bay, take time to enjoy the spa and pool, perhaps explore the village and cliff walks, and wake the following morning to breakfast by the sea.

It’s the perfect way to make a little more of your Sunday at Cliff House.
