Special Occasion Stays
Special Occasion Stays at Cliff House Hotel
Some occasions deserve more than dinner or a gift. They deserve time away together, a beautiful setting and an experience that becomes part of the memory itself.
Perched above the sea in Ardmore, County Waterford, Cliff House Hotel offers a spectacular setting for celebrating life’s important moments. From milestone birthdays and anniversaries to engagements, romantic escapes and simply having something worth celebrating, a stay by the epic Atlantic gives you the space and time to mark the occasion properly.
Celebrate Overlooking the Sea
There is something inherently special about arriving in Ardmore and seeing the Atlantic stretch out before you.
Built into the cliffside overlooking Ardmore Bay, Cliff House Hotel brings the sea into almost every part of your stay. Wake to an ocean view, take a walk along the Waterford coastline, retreat to Well by the Sea or simply settle in and enjoy having nowhere else you need to be.
Our thoughtfully designed rooms and suites provide an intimate setting for a special occasion, with most featuring private balconies or terraces and all rooms overlooking the water.
For an anniversary, birthday or romantic escape, choose one of our spacious suites and make the stay itself part of the celebration.
Experiences & Offers
A Dinner Worth Celebrating
A special occasion deserves a memorable table.
At Michelin-starred HOUSE Restaurant, Head Chef Reinis Vidins and his team create menus inspired by the landscape and exceptional produce of Ireland's southeast.
Seasonality, provenance and a respect for ingredients are at the heart of the experience, complemented by carefully considered wines and warm, attentive service.
Dinner at HOUSE can become the centrepiece of your celebration – before retiring upstairs rather than making the journey home.
Make Time for Wellbeing
For celebrations that call for a slower pace, spend time at Well by the Sea, our intimate spa overlooking the Atlantic.
Choose a treatment, enjoy the indoor infinity pool or simply allow yourself the rare luxury of switching off.
Combine a spa experience with a beautiful room, dinner and a morning overlooking Ardmore Bay for a special occasion centred around time together rather than things.
Special Occasion Stays for Every Milestone
Anniversaries
Return to somewhere meaningful or discover somewhere new together. A night by the sea, dinner at HOUSE and an unhurried morning make Cliff House an intimate setting for celebrating another year together.
Milestone Birthdays
Whether it is a 30th, 40th, 50th, 60th or another birthday worth marking, turn one evening of celebration into a luxury coastal escape.
Engagements & Romantic Occasions
Few backdrops are more romantic than the Waterford coastline. From proposals and engagements to spontaneous escapes for two, Cliff House offers privacy, exceptional food and uninterrupted time together.
Babymoons
Before life changes in the most wonderful way, escape to Ardmore for some time together, with beautiful surroundings, restful accommodation and the opportunity to slow down.
Just Because
You don't always need a milestone. Sometimes deciding to spend time together is reason enough.
Add Something Extra
Small details can make an occasion particularly memorable.
If you are arranging a surprise or celebrating something important during your stay, let our team know before you arrive. We would be delighted to discuss ways to make your visit feel even more special.
