    Chilling Out in style in Lynton and Lynmouth.

    What's not to like! The only very slight niggle is no sandy beach but Lynmouth is still lovely and if you really crave sand, you can head out for an afternoon to Minehead. I took the bus with fantastic views along the way.

    I loved the room, very comfortable bed and plenty of tea and biscuits. Breakfast doesn't disappoint. My favourite was poached egg, avocado and chorizo on sourdough toast, delicious! The hosts Stuart and James are friendly and helpful with lots of local knowledge. The location is wonderful, especially Valley of the Rocks if you enjoy a ramble with fantastic views. Some lovely restaurants particularly Number 10 for pasta and pizza and The Oak Room, serving great tapas. And of course, you gotta take the Cliff Railway down to Lynmouth.

    Nothing. Some people might find the small steep parking space hard to navigate. There is street parking.

    Stayed for two nights and everything was great. Very welcoming. Great location for walking the valley of the rocks. The breakfast was super, a great selection to choose from. Check out the little cinema and the Old Bank restaurant, all less than 5 minutes walk away.

    A very clean, comfy and tastefully decorated B&B, conveniently located for walking into Lynton and reaching Lynmouth.

    The shower and bathroom was just a little small, but still very well designed and very clean and well presented. Whilst the bathroom was a little small, the shower was fantastic!

    We loved the property, it was extremely well designed with beautiful views over the hills. The balcony was a real plus and added to the room.

    We were late to book, so may be we were stuck in a room 2 flights up, Small window. Tiny but clean and functional shower room. I wish we had a bit more choices for breakfast, especially for vege. Limited on site parking, but we managed without much inconvenience.

    Nice clean cosy room. Staff was very friendly and helped to plan our trip.

    Did not care for the teenagers making a racket in the wee hours of the morning Friday night but that was no fault of the B&B. The shower was rather small as well but the bathroom otherwise was great with a good size heated towel rack, amenities, and a convenient night light in the mirror.

    Loved the location, the room, the breakfast, and the staff. We also adored having a room with a balcony where we could have our coffee overlooking the town every morning. So comfortable!

    James and Stuart are great hosts, an immaculately clean and well run b&b, their years of experience really shines through. With their local knowledge ensuring a lovely stay. Proximity to Watersmeet ( fabulous river walk) and Valley of the Rocks

    We were happy with every aspect of our stay.

    Great location in Lynton, very close to the cliff railway so excellent for both Lynton and Lynmouth. The owners were very welcoming, friendly and helpful, recommending places to eat (and advising to book in advance) and when we asked for the best walking routes to the Valley of the Rocks and Watersmeet, they talked us through it and gave a map. The room was clean and comfortable and the breakfast was excellent, freshly cooked to order, high quality ingredients with great choices.
