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.

Great location but needs some TLC

Great location on the hills above Lynmouth, but definitely in need of some TLC. Friendly check-in, but were advised that the kitchen was closed so no breakfast was available. There was a great view from the first floor room, which was in need of redecoration and generally brightening up, with scuffs on the walls and peeling paint in the bathroom (which was bigger than usual and with a decent shower) There were a few parking spaces available behind the hotel (£5 per day)

The location of the hotel was perfect for walking to the Valley of the Rocks and the coastal path. We had a room only but that suited us and the service was friendly and helpful.

The hotel staff are helpful and welcoming. It is well positioned in the centre of Lynton within walking distance of shops, bars and restaurants and beautiful walks. The hotel has a faded glory and is quirky and interesting. We enjoyed our stay and the rooms were warm with comfortable beds.

Excellent quiet location with stunning views across the gardens and sea. On site parking advisable as it's cheaper than the car parks. Lovely and warm throughout with temperature controlled radiators in bedroom. Plenty of storage room and space. Perfect location for beautiful walks and cafes/shops/Cliff Railway. Staff were welcoming and available 24/7. Some of the paintwork could do with refreshing but this did not effect our stay.

Valley of the Rocks

Staff were friendly & helpful, but the room was horrible. Carpet had numerous stains or marks, the bed should have been thrown out as one side sloped away to the edge & it was difficult to stay in the bed. Restaurant was not operating, perhaps due to time of year? Most hotels we have stayed in do offer a breakfast of some sort, nothing at all here. Good location in centre of town.

It's not only the property that standout. It is also the staffs that work there that made it perfect. Even if the hotel is 5 stars but the staff are not caring and accommodating, the property wont make it to the top. Ahmed and Abdul are few of the staffs that are very remarkable . They handled every situation very well. I would definitely recommend the property due to its cleanliness, being near to tourist spots and staff's courteousness
