Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
East Cliff Cottage Hotel is often praised for its spacious rooms, some with quirky shapes on the top floor, and thoughtful touches like fresh milk in the fridge. The cooked breakfast is a highlight for many, and the location provides an easy walk to both the town and the beach. While some guests have observed that the property could benefit from some renovation to the dining area and general upkeep, many appreciate the good bed linen and decent-sized towels provided in the bathrooms, along with the convenience of free parking and proximity to the Pier.
