The food in the restaurant and at breakfast was excellent. Friendly service. The rooms were a good size & ours even had a small sea view.
No real shower just an attachment to the bath. We were aware of this prior to travel. It did make showering slightly difficult.

Location friendly staff & lovely bedrooms. Food was excellent as was breakfast.
The bar & landings can be a little dark & really needs a refresher. Been like this since we first came over 10 years ago. The lovely decor in the bedrooms highlights it & also that outside is fresh & bright.

The staff were lovely, and kindly upgraded us to a cute little cozy room with window seats overlooking the sea. The room was warm, had a kettle with drinks tray, TV, free Internet, and the bed was very comfortable. The bathroom was beautifully renovated with a superb shower and ethically approach to housekeeping.
The entrance door to the rooms was hard to close and guests were slamming it loudly to close it. The paintwork in the room wants touching up. There was no socket on the table so we had to boil the kettle on the floor.

Acoustic insulation was poor. We could hear people in next room very clearly.

Lovely breakfast, friendly staff, quaint hotel, comfy bed, lovely clean sheets and towels, super view, amazing location.
Cramped dining room, expensive small mediocre desserts, no proper shower in bedroom or extractor fan, thin walls between bedrooms, bedroom was very small.

The room was spotless, it was cosy, had everything we needed, we didn't have breakfast as we left early because I wasn't well, which we both were bitterly disappointed, Lynmouth is a beautiful place
Everything was exceptional
10.0 / 10.0
The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful! The cottage was absolutely beautiful and you can not beat the location. The food was also outstanding. I would recommend this property over anywhere else in Lynmouth.
It’s not necessarily a criticism but there was a slight odour of wet dog in the cottage, particularly on the sofa. I appreciate this is unavoidable though when dogs are allowed in the property.

We received a friendly welcome. We had dinner in the pub. The food was tasty and cooked to perfection mmm . The room had a comfortable double bed with an ensuite bathroom. There was tea and coffee making equipment in the room. There was a view of the estuary and sea although the bedroom window was at floor level. The morning breakfast was included in the price. There was a choice of breakfast continental and cooked. The staff were friendly and welcoming at all times.
It might have been difficult to park in the summer season.

excellent hotel/pub to stay on the seafront - ample on street parking plus two car parks not far away (one with car chargers) Wxcellent froom in the restaurant and a great breakfast
nothing - but the stairs up to the rooms are narrow and a little steep - the staff did take our bags up for us - excellent!

View from the room was wonderful - right over the harbour. Our room was extremely comfortable and despite being over the bar, we heard very little noise. DInner and breakfast were really excellent and so much better than anticipated.

Staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. The food was outstanding. The view over the harbour was really lovely. The building itself was quirky - just mind your head!
There wasn't really anything to complain about.

Location
The room was very small and was poorly maintained and decorated. Not at all like the photographs. The breakfast we very poor and the dining room looked shabby and unclean. Food was unexceptional.
7.0 / 10.0
It was a good location and the staff were very accommodating.
We upgraded to a sea view room which, while so much better than the other rooms, meant you could see the water through a very low small window. It also didn't help that the building front is covered in scaffolding. Our double bed was small and other than the bathroom everything was in serious need of refurbishment.

It’s a lovely old pub with several cottages attached right next to the harbour. Stayed there before so bought a night for my daughter and boyfriend as a birthday treat
Paid extra for a sea view room. Questioned hotel about this and was told this room would not be affected and probably no scaffolding by the time of the booking. Sadly the scaffolding was obstructing the sea view quite a lot .

The shower was so good and powerful
One member of staff looked liked he didn’t want to be there and totally ignored us throughout our meal. He had long hair and looked like he was in the wrong job if I’m honest.
The room was nice and an amazing view number 15. But all the wall paper was coming off at the bottom of the wall all the way along and looked liked it need addressing.

Very clean room. Lovely view. Friendly, helpful staff. Good food portions.
Rather expensive for quite a small room, and a small bed. Quite noisy at night. Dining room chairs looked like they needed a clean.

Great Location and a real feel of old English charm
The cleanliness of our bathroom was poor, mould on ceiling and shower door not working properly! Just bad Housekeeping. The Restaurant was not an award winning menu. The food was mediocre and our waiter, looked like he needed a good wash.

The location
The room was old and tired. The breakfast ran out. There was no wine list or beer one evening. It felt like it was stuck in the 80’s.
