With a private bathroom fitted with a shower and free toiletries, rooms at the motel also boast a sea view. The rooms in “The Cliffs” Humpridge View Motels are equipped with a flat-screen TV and a hairdryer. Beautiful place to stay in sunny bluecliffs. Easy check in system with clear instructions. Our room was very clean and warm, and we had a perfect view of the sea, coast, and humpridge from our window. Strong wifi connection everywhere on the property. The dinner prepared by Larisa was delicious, and our conversations with she and Ton made us feel like we were eating a beautiful dinner prepared by friends. Thanks Larisa and Ton.
