What our customers say

Feefo logo of 10 years of Proven Trusted Service
The reason for giving a low score was because of the type of holiday we were expecting as opposed to what we got. Pine Cliffs is a lovely hotel in a great location and the staff were lovely. However it was not really conducive to a detox holiday. Whilst the spa side was very good and again the staff lovely,also the nutritionist was great However her recommended meal plans were not translated to the kitchens. The restaurant allocated was like a children's playground. We changed plan and were able to choose healthy options at the other restaurants on site. When booking I knew that it was family friendly but not to the extent that it really was.Particularly since it wasn't even the school holidays. So in summary a good hotel but not for a Wellbeing escape.
