Pretty place. Lynmouth has only a few restaurants which if you're staying for a few nights isn't great. I think Lynton is a better option for overnighters, lots of food choice but you must book well in advance. The Oak Room and the Thai are brilliant.

Lynmouth is a picturesque little town, with plenty of short and longer walks without having to travel. The immediate "beach" picturesque, but not the ideal place if you are looking for lying down and sun bathing - it is very rocky. Neighboring Lynton can be approach using a steep footpath or a mountain train. There was a very long que for the train, so we did not use it.

A lovely town, linked to the town above Lynton by a cliff railway, which is fabulous. It runs continuously, is quick, with stunning views. Alternatively, you can walk, which is fairly demanding on the legs but worth it! A visit to Lynton will offer places to eat, a lovely church, stunning views, a craft centre, shops for browsing . Lynmouth has a fabulous pitch and putt course, or there is tennis. For younger children there is a play park. There are tea rooms aplenty and an award winning fish and chip restaurant. The river running through the centre is wonderful and there are a number of walks. It is ideal for couples or families. There are a number of gift shops or fudge but nowhere to buy a newspaper or toothpaste. For these you have to travel up to Lynton, so it pays to be organised. Lynmouth has the river, hills as a backdrop and the sea. It is small but packs a mighty punch. From Lynmouth there is plenty to go and visit. A particularly nice place for young families is Watermouth Castle. If you are lucky enough to have good weather then the days will fly by. Lynmouth can get cool in the evenings, so a cardigan or sweatshirt are needed.

This was a lovely village, lots of great shops, galleries and eating places to suit all, walking and buses available to other areas. 3 nights was enough for us but for walkers/hikers I am sure you could spend more time. Excellent Thai restaurant at the Cottage Inn. Rick house hotel is excellent too. Lynton is near and can be accessed either by walking or tram car, great experience. Lovely little tea shop/cafe on the corner of the village by the church in Lynton serving proper home made cakes, recommend the rock buns. Very steep and hilly area if not staying in Lynmouth and looking to explore. Taxi service excellent. All round excellent break. Lots of places welcome dogs too.

So pleased we discovered this place after watching a tv programme. Such a beautiful part of the U.K and very picturesque. We used the cliff railway to get to Lynton then we walked to Valley of the Rocks which was great to see. We also walked the Watersmeet walk which was stunning but unfortunately Watersmeet house was closed. This didn’t spoil the experience and we continued on the very steep climb to Countisbury where we stopped for a well earned lunch and drink at the lovely Blue Ball inn before continuing on down the south west coastal path back to Lynmouth. We ate at the Ancient Mariner pub and had a lovely evening meal. Staff were very friendly. Stunning views and a beautiful place.

A great place to stay for a relaxing and calm few days. Take the cliff railway to Lynton (£3 per person each way) and have a mooch around the craft and art shops. A short drive west from Lynmouth is the old narrow gauge railway society at Woody Bay station. Excellent home made catering - highly recommended.
