Central old hotel
Great location minutes away from cafés, pubs and eateries. Funicular virtually next door. Lovely old hotel, clean and full of character though indeed of a little tlc. We were made very welcome and our rooms were upgraded at no extra cost with amazing views across the valley. Very dog friendly and would definitely stay there again. Thank you.

Anniversary Stay
Staff very welcoming and friendly. Hotel quite dated and needed redecorating/modernising. A shame they don’t do food or drinks as the dining area is beautiful with lovely views outside. Bed not very comfortable, memory foam mattress toppers would be a good idea! Loved the view from our room though and nicely situated. We’ve been to Lynmouth and walked the route to Watersmeet a few times now but it’s still just as pretty! And we’d never been to Valley of rocks before, stunning views and well worth a visit. Overall, a nice 2 night break away!

Worst hotel I’ve ever stayed at
Not sure it should even be called a hotel, it’s more how I’d imagine a squat would be like.

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.

We stayed for two nights in the superior room with sea view. Simply amazing! Staff was friendly and the location is very convenient. We really enjoyed our stay in Lynton in a hotel full of charm like the Valley of Rocks!

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)

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.

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.

Great location
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.
