The original Cliff House Hotel was established around 1932. In 2008 it was almost completely rebuilt under the management of the Dutch general-manager Adriaan Bartels, who left a few years later. The restaurant was created during this rebuilding.[9]
Head chef of The House who was first to earn the Michelin star was the Dutchman Martijn Kajuiter.[10][11]. Kajuiter left the role in 2020.[12] The current Chef is Ian Doyle.[13]. Doyle has successfully maintained the Michelin star status of House for 2021. [14]
