Welcome to Clifton House

Originally a home.
Still feels like one.

Clifton House was originally a home, which was converted into rooms for guests to stay in. In keeping a homely feel, the house has been furnished to a high standard, with thoughtful fittings to help you feel right at home, from home.

The name Clifton derives from our family’s roots in Pakistan, where our great-grandfather lived in an area called Clifton, running a bakery, offering food to the needy and helping others.
