Absolutely stunning location, it’s an old building that needs considerable work doing to bring it back to its former glory & they need to employ a groundsman to keep the gardens up together as I feel this would improve the whole experience. Would I stay again…? 100% the view looking down over my Lynmouth is worth every penny & the staff were all such lovely people.

Stayed before and so know the deal. Paid slightly more for a better room, which was lovely. Clean, spacious and comfortable with great views. Shower only warm which was disappointing. No bar, no breakfast but not bothered by lack of either. Friendly and effecient staff. Overall, value for money accommodation in heart of Lynton.

For the price this place is excellent. You are paying the price of a hostel but you have your own room, a decent bathroom and tea making facilities. The hotel has seen better days, and if you want something swanky pay another £100 per night. Staff were helpful, room was clean, and location is spot on.

Hotel was fine but restaurant and bar were unexpectedly closed and the garden was overgrown and unusable. Early morning Street noise was loud and woke us up. Staff especially Rachel went above and beyond to welcome and assist us. Excellent location within the town and surrounding area.

Great value stay in Lynton

Offering excellent value for money this hotel right in the middle of Lynton and perfect for a weekend away. Its Victorian features hark back to it's time as a premium hotel and today it is adequate for a stay in the beautiful part of the country. The bed was comfortable and room and bathroom clean.

Lovely hot bath ideal after walking coastal path. In the centre of the town with all amenities, plus coast path and cliff railway. Very good value. Basic but clean and comfortable with everything you need in the room. Excellent service from Rachel at Reception who was friendly and helpful and recommended a brilliant place to eat.

Liked: Cleanliness
Very old, charming building that has seen better days and could do with some updating and new decoration. However was clean and was very close to local shops and places to eat. Also have to say the Receptionist, Rachel was fabulous and was very helpful and had great local knowledge which helped when planning our stay. There is a small car park for the hotel for which you pay £6 per day and this needs to be booked directly with the hotel as spaces are limited. Would certainly go back for another visit.
