    Location, Staff, hotel very clean and beautiful gardens. Having the availability of early evening hot snacks was a really good idea and reasonably priced. Parking available onsite which was brilliant. Great breakfast on offer

    Staying at the Clifton was the highlight of our whole trip to the Isle of Wight. I only wish we could have stayed more than one night! The garden was lovely, our room was spotlessly clean, breakfast was great, staff were wonderful, and everything...
