Hotel Spotlight: Ireland’s Cliff House Hotel

2012-02-12 by Phil Butler

Seaweed baths on the chill Celtic Sea

Doing our research as per usual, we ran across a fabulous hotel in Ireland, a dream getaway discovery we just had to share with you. The Cliff House Hotel, a five star revelation from out of the past, offers not only breathtaking sea views – but a taste of charm not many places hint of. Cascading gardens, terraces, and the salt air here mix inextricably with Irish hospitality.

Reading news from Hotel Management dot net this morning, I could not help but reflect on the way things used to be. A story by David Eisen there tells of an iconic Ireland hotel’s uncertain fate. John Wayne, Maureen O’Hara, John Ford, the legends of Ashford come back to memory as Ireland is beset with more bad news.
