Hotel Information
Built as a prestigious hotel by a local tradesman in 1934, the Cliff Head Hotel has been under private ownership for many years. Perfectly located on a private road in Carlyon Bay, directly opposite the Carlyon Bay Hotel. Overlooking beautiful sandy beaches and coves, close to many scenic clifftop walks offering gorgeous panoramic views of the amazing Cornish coastline, the hotel is right in the middle of the Cornish Riviera, which makes it an ideal base from which guests can go out and explore the numerous and wonderful sights that Cornwall has to offer. Whether it be old castles, historic houses, beautiful gardens which, thanks to the Cornish climate all year round are home to many varieties of tropical plant-life, or the many fishing villages close by, guests won't be short of things to see and do to make their stay a memorable experience they'll want to relive many times.
Guests can relax in the wonderful, pleasant, elegant but informal surroundings of the hotel's newly refurbished restaurant. Offering a delightful, diverse choice of food, the hotel's menus change constantly so you will have a wide range of choice during your stay.
