A great place to stay

Bed & breakfast or just room if needed. Options to purchase breakfast if required. The owners have thought of everything from ironing boards to usb charging ports. Even a tabletop fridge in the room. Location is outstanding. Central location without the noise. Will definitely return.

Nothing to dislike. Claire and Steve were the perfect hosts. Breakfast hot all the right spots. Claire and Steve were always on hand to give advice and recommendations on where to go for sightseeing or eating. They have not been in the property for too long and yes something's do need a bit of attention, but you can see what they doing. Rome was not built in a day. I would not hesitate to stay at the Clifton again. The room was nice and bright and clean. If I had to mark them and the property I would give 9.5/10
