Very good value for a brief overnight stay for one person. Good location. Very friendly and helpful staff. Only issue was perhaps due to my very early checkout (6am) no hot water available for my shower.

Thought my booking included breakfast but was asked to pay extra. Drinks bar (tea, coffe and milk sachets) in room not automatically replenished as rooms not serviced until customer departed. Building beautiful. Breakfast adequate.

The most stunning location possible in big traditional hotel. My room was very cheap and quite small, though I peeped into some other rooms and they would definitely be worth paying a bit more. Lynton is 500 feet above Lynmouth at sea level. The cliff railway and multiple footpaths mean you can visit both. Good range of quality tourist shops, tea shops and restaurants. One bus which takes an hour+ from Barnstaple. Excellent holiday destination.

great hotel for a base for walking the south west cost path( which is right on the doorstep) Cheap and cheerful, with lots of good restaurants literally on the doorstep. Good outdoor shops also on doorstep. Great to have a room with a bath to help the weary legs!

Fantastic location. Very faded grandeur with fairly basic accommodation but this is reflected in the price so is good value for the price.

Had problems booking in to hotel, I paid al monies but it didn’t register with the hotel that I had booked, there were no rooms available so according to them there was no booking, so I had to prove that I booked with my bank statement, after about 2 hours of trying to sort out they eventually got me a room, the excuse was that they had lost the link with yourselves.

Carolyn

Firstly to say that the reception staff were helpful and friendly. The bed was very comfortable. The corridors and room were grim. No bedside lights, peeling window frames, cheap unmatched curtains, bathroom with unpleasant odour. The hotel was very depressing and dismal. There was no bar or restaurant and bacon was not allowed to be served owing to the owner’s religious beliefs. I did not have breakfast as I wanted to leave as quickly as possible. I checked out early so stayed for one instead of two nights.
