We stayed for 2 nights. The Captain's House was adequate for our needs. The owners were very pleasant and made us welcome. The breakfast included was cereal, yoghurt and toast - cooked breakfast was extra. Our room was small with a shower and toilet across the corridor shared with other guests if there are any, there was no one else on our floor. The room was quite small. I have slept in more comfortable beds; the pillows could do with being replaced. Parking limited.

5.0 / 10.0

Hotel very quirky and quaint. It was like Stepping back in time, intentionally that way. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will certainly stay there again. Owner and his wife couldn't have been any nicer and always ready to help and very knowledgeable about the surrounding areas.

6.0 / 10.0

Beautiful location, old fashioned and kooky b&b. Some things need updating e.g carpet in the bathroom and a damp smell. The included breakfast is described as ‘continental’ but consists of toast and cereal with a £10 cooked breakfast option. Hosts are very friendly and chatty and have great recommendations of activities and places to eat as well as offering a £5 per person cream tea. Overall enjoyed our stay and would come again maybe to a different room as we stayed in the accessible ground floor room.

1.0 / 10.0

On arrival STRAIGHT AWAY we were asked to PAY for hot breakfast for an additional £10pp, if we WANTED anything Hot - which we thought we already had in the B&B booking. HE SAID the continental was included! * His continental was "TOAST and cereal " thats it*! with a very very small orange juice and tea/coffee. This man lives in coocoo land! ( We were expecting crossiants/cheese ham pastries etc etc.. Not a chance.) He is very odd and very ecentric! The room we had was unfortunately an attic room ( we wearnt told this on booking and it wasnt mentioned or we wouldnt have booked it.). The room was tiny and the so called en-suite.. well... you can stand in it and your shoulders will touch each side of the walls and had to back into the toilet area as cant turn around. The Shower was very small and you couldnt stand in the bathroom to be able to dry yourself, litrally had to go into the bedroom via the very loud SQUEEKY DOOR to be able to do that. It Said toiletries included - NONE THERE AT ALL.( we always take our own anyway). There were NO Glasses to be able to have our own drink(s), had to ask following day. Reluctant to give them. The house and Room decor and the bedding is way out of date.. talking cream lamp shades with tassles on and old fashioned bedding and carpets and curtains. Said there was FREE Parking advertised on booking - NONE ! HAD TO PARK 600 Yrds away and Pay ! DONT STAY HERE ! ITS AWFUL. 22/08/2025- 25-3-2025. AND DONT HAVE A CREAM TEA! Small shop bought.

Breakfast was solid. My gripe is that I booked a room with a private bathroom, but when I was shown the room I was told that the shower and the toilet were on the other side of the landing. No private bathroom even though I’d paid for one.

Lovely aspect, spotless room, would have preferred en suite bathroom, even though private bathroom on same landing. I stayed at top of prooerty in single room, personally found stairs a bit of a trial . Very quiet, can't comment on food as room only. Nice to have tea making facilities in room. Bed comfortable and warm. Beautiful gardens outside, well appointed for stroll to beach and village.

Avoid. Found out, common knowledge in the town that 'he' has a terrible reputation; been up for sale for years-no wonder. Arrogant and insulting. Room full of faults.

Excellent position to explore Watersmeet and Valley of the Rocks. Incredibile and breathtaking views never seen in my life! The hotel has his peculiar Victorian style, which we absolutely loved! Super clean and tidy, everything in the hotel was looked after and very well maintained. Just perfect! I can't wait to come back here again

We really loved our stay , the hosts were very welcoming and breakfast was lovely. We enjoy staying somewhere with character and it definitely has that !and it was super clean .lynmouth is beautiful and there is plenty to do in the area we reckon the circular walk to Watersmeet and Countisbury and also the riding sun pub if you want a fancy meal We would definitely stay again Thankyou 🙂

Very old property. Pleasant owners, however furnishings ancient, only x2 . Bath towels, x2 of us,not changed during our x3 night stay, hotel staff “forgot “ to service out room on one day. Mismatched old bedding and towels,felt like they belonged in my grandparents era! The pillows were 2ins thick and solid! Low ceilings,couldn’t be helped. Breakfast was good. Don’t think I’d recommend Sorry

The Captain’s House is set in a picturesque location. We stayed in the room which was accessed from the pretty garden via a spiral staircase. We were made to feel welcome from the time we arrived to the time we departed. The host was fully of local knowledge and pointed us to the places to visit. The breakfast was fair and the room dated but this is what we expected and this added to the unique charm. The only downside was the parking was not onsite but was along the lane next to the river and B&B, so once you had a spot to park, you couldn’t move your car, as spaces were sparse during the day. Also Lynmouth was busy and all bars and restaurants were fully booked, so had to take chance by eating early outside. There are great walks from the B&B to the Valley of the Rocks and following the river up the valley to Watersmeet, Rockford. Would we stay again, yes is the answer.

4.0 / 10.0

Family run business for over 30 years , lovely historic building right along the river lyn , Clifford the owner very helpful and knowledgeable about the history of the building and devon in general, we both had a lovely stay.

2.0 / 10.0

The guy who runs the hotel is fine - just treat is little foibles with a pinch of salt. He’s old school, and is actually quite helpful regarding trip advice etc. The hotel itself is a stereotype of terrible British coastal bed and breakfasts. Damp smelling, fairly dirty, tiny rooms, outdated decor, no toiletries (and little toilet paper), horrible carpets, lumpy beds, leaky pipes etc. The ‘continental’ breakfast is cardboard toast and a limited range of cereals (i.e. a British breakfast from the 1970s); the full English breakfast is ok, but the sausages and egg aren’t great. North Devon isn’t a cheap place to stay of course, but at £140 per night this hotel is still not good value for money. Were it £70 per night it would be ok.

6.0 / 10.0

The B&B is in a lovely position next to the river. We had a brilliant view from our room. The decor and furnishings are very eclectic and some bizarre. The property could do with a declutter. Initially there was a mix-up with our booking and we were shown to the wrong room, so not a good start. Breakfast was served too late - we were walking SWCP and needed an early start.

The room was small and needs updating. The en suite also needs updating The general areas were lovely. The breakfast was very disappointing. Cheap sausages, coffee, orange juice. It was inconsistent i had bacon and 2 egg's my husband had 1 egg no bacon. We had ordered a full English. The place was clean. Not worth £120 for 1 night
