I love the Valley of Rocks! It's quirky, friendly, unique. PLEASE don't come here expecting posh hotel luxury. You'll be disappointed. No bar, no breakfast. On the evening I arrived there was no hot water (it was kind of fixed - warm water, anyway - the following day); the lift wasn't working; a broken sash cord in my bedroom window meant it didn't open. It's clearly, as a hotel, hanging on by its fingernails. So why do I like it?? Because it's one-of-a-kind - vast, faded Victorian grandeur, with fantastic views of the sea from its large and increasingly overgrown gardens. (Make sure to ask for a room with a garden / sea view.) And where else can you get a hotel in such a gorgeous spot for less than £50 a night... I fear that it's only a matter of time before it gets gutted and converted into million pound apartments for rich a-holes. Don't let that happen! Come and stay at the Valley of Rocks!

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.

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 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.
