Construction has started on Cliffemount, a sustainable luxury hotel, pub, and restaurant overlooking Runswick Bay in North Yorkshire. The £multi-million development replaces the former Cliffemount Hotel, which was demolished in October 2024, and is scheduled to open in summer 2027.
Cliffemount aims to become the UK’s first hotel with Passivhaus accreditation, meeting strict energy efficiency and sustainability standards. If successful, the attached pub and restaurant will receive individual certifications, setting a new benchmark for the hospitality sector.
Silverstone Building Consultancy manages the project, and Stainforth Construction is leading the build. Initial work includes ground regrading, piling, and foundation preparation before vertical construction begins. The development has received local support, though construction is expected to cause temporary disruptions.
