The location is perfect and as my husband is partially disabled, the car parking is really important.
We love the views, and sounds of the river and sea.

The view from our bedroom window overlooking the Lynn River to the bustling streets of Lynmouth with behind the hanging woods on the hills above was enchanting. The staff were very friendly and the full English breakfast excellent, highly recommended.

Long weekend break, Lynemouth.
Excellent break, on our first stay. Manager very attentive and service oriented. Top location and would recommend for a short stay. Food very reasonably priced with a good menu.
Some of the reviews moan about the restaurant being closed on a Monday/Tuesday, but full dining facilities available at their sister hotel, The Rising Sun a mere 100yds away, so not a problem.
Good beer garden by the sea.

Nice place with convenient access straight over the bridge to the quayside. Miserable weather on the day we arrived but walked right into the Lynmouth Maritime regatta. Fun all day long. Staff in the hotel were all friendly and helpful. Lovely breakfast. Would stay again.

Disappointed
Unfortunately we started our stay by being informed that the hotel was only open for accommodation. We were then told all food would be available at a hotel across the road which was a concern as my wife suffers from parkinsons and her mobility is not good at periods throghout the day. If we had been informed of this prior to our stay we might have changed our plans. Added to this the cost of the eveving meal was above expectations.

A night in Lynmouth
Poor experience for breakfast had to walk to the Rising Sun pub and then wait 20 minutes to order food and then 20 min before it arrived which wasn’t that exciting.
