Good location, pleasant stay
Just a one night stay at the weekend. We arrived later than planned but had a parking space reserved (pre booked) which was good. There are only a few spaces on site so pre-booking is essential, otherwise there's a public car park a short walk away.
The receptionist was very helpful and given our late arrival, advised that if we were looking for somewhere to eat to go soon because the local restaurants would be closing very soon.
The hotel is an old building that has obviously been adapted over the years to comply with changing regulations and expectations. Hence we found it a maze of corridors and fire doors, but well signposted.
Our room was spacious and with a sea view. It was comfortable but quite basic. The shower was only mildly warm but was ok for a one night stay.
The location of the hotel was good, with various attractions within a short walk, including the cliff railway if you don't fancy the steep walk down to the harbour area.
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.
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

Old fashioned, quaint hotel, fantastic views, run down, don’t do any food or drink. Check out at 10am not helpful when you have to go out for breakfast! Great receptionist, she was very attentive. free jazz night but no bar.
We loved our stay, our room had a stunning view, we were lucky to see the most beautiful sunrise and sunset colours over the hills and sea from our window. The bed was comfortable and the room was a good size. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel is pet friendly and welcoming for dogs which was a huge plus for us. The location is good as you can walk to Lynmouth or the Valley of rocks, and it’s close to restaurants and shops. There was just a bit of an odd smell coming from the shower in the bathroom, but nothing too terrible. We would definitely stay there again!
Absolutely fabulous stay at this hotel. Super dog friendly, amazing sea views from our room and really friendly helpful staff. Would definitely recommend. We already knew there wasn't a restaurant service, but lovely places to eat really close by. The room we had was huge with a big tv and great shower. The bed was big and super comfy. If i had to be picky, the carpet could do with an update as although clean and no smells was a bit stained, and it was too hot for me in the room (56). I would love to stay there again (so would my dog and partner 😀)
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.
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.

Huge comfy bed with clean sheets, lots of pillows and lovely warm room with sea view, just needs a bit of love with the decor!
The hotel fails to advertise the fact that this hotel is run in line with Islamic tenets so no alcohol or pork allowed or available on the premises. I had to seek out dining and breakfast elsewhere.
This once glorious building needs a refurb.
Very helpful young lady at reception.
