My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The room, overlooking the sea, had a nicely tiled bathroom, but the outdated decor and furniture were a downside. The staff were friendly and helpful, though the hotel could use some refurbishments. The location, while quiet with beach access, needed updating. The dining options were decent but lacked variety. Overall, a decent stay with room for improvement.

The room I had was on the first floor with a sea view and a spacious bathroom with a large shower enclosure. However, the decor felt outdated with wood chip wallpaper and flat-pack furniture. The room lacked some essential upgrades like a new mattress, updated wallpaper, better TV position, curtains, and table.

I had a great time at the hotel, with clean and comfortable rooms and incredibly friendly staff. The only downside was the dated look of the location and the lack of interior decorations. However, the proximity to the beach and great dining options nearby made up for it.

The hotel offers a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms, while clean and equipped with essentials like a TV and tea & coffee making facilities, show signs of wear and tear that need attention. The service was friendly overall, despite a minor inconvenience with transportation arrangements. The location is both convenient, being just off the A10 near Niort, yet marred by some disturbances like smoking near guest rooms. The dining options, though limited and with late breakfast times, may not suit early risers. The facilities provided a mixed experience, with some areas needing improvement.

I found the Best Western Cliff Head Hotel to be a mixed experience. The room, though small and slightly claustrophobic under a sloping roof, had no daylight. However, the view of the rear garden was pleasant. The service was friendly, but the hotel seemed to be slightly past its prime and not living up to the Best Western standards. The location, though quiet with easy beach access, was marred by a less appealing neighboring hotel. The dining options were limited, with extras like eggs and ham incurring additional charges. Despite these drawbacks, the hotel offered a quiet atmosphere on the edge of a private estate, near a beautiful beach in Charlestown.

The hotel offers excellent rooms with twin beds and a well-appointed bathroom overlooking the front of the hotel. While it may seem a bit pricey for the hotel's rating, the views are worth it, especially from the roof with a Velux window providing a peek at the sea when you stand on tiptoe. The service is top-notch, especially thanks to Jody and the entire staff at The Cliff Head Hotel who are incredibly friendly and attentive. The location is lovely with a nicely furnished indoor bar and outdoor patio, providing a modern and secure ambiance. The facilities are satisfactory, with some mixed feedback on certain elements. Overall, the hotel provides a comfortable stay with some room for improvement in certain areas.

The hotel has a superb location with easy access to a large beach and is close to the Eden Project. The rooms, especially the 'luxurious' ones, were okay, but the noise from mounted TVs can be bothersome. The service was exceptional, from the accommodating staff to the efficient waitress team. The dining experience, while yielding a yummy view over the bay, could be earlier for early risers. The dated decor in the lobby did not meet modern standards.
