This was our third time coming back to stay at North Cliff and it never disappoints! The rooms are all lovely and spectacular views, especially the morning sunrise! The beds are very comfortable and the room is very clean and spacious. Rebecca and Steve are great hosts! We bring our dogs with us and they get their own dog beds & bowls. The breakfast is perfect and nothing is too much trouble. Will be back again next year. Thank you!
