We had a pleasant overnight stay at the Raincliffe Hotel. The room was lovely & clean. Tea, Coffee, Hot Chocolate & Biscuits were a lovely treat to have. The room was extremely hot due to the heat wave we were having but the owner was so kind to allow us an additional fan to try to be as comfortable as possible despite the heat. Shower was spotless & decent. So were the beds. Breakfast was superb! Again the staff on hand were really lovely & bent over backwards to give us a lovely stay. I will definitely consider this hotel again for future stays as it was conveniently only a short walk to the sea front & Prominade.
