Bit disappointed. bedroom was of a good size and clean. no reception service or restaurant - which was advised prior to the trip, but trying to contact the Rising Sun who took over those services was really bad. never answered the phone and didn't answer my text message. Parking was not great due to a large van taking one space but blocking at least two other bays (only approx. 6 parking bays) - unfortunate i know, but after a long journey - wasn't appreciated. the obviously the "inconvenience" of having to go to the rising sun for the keys/checkin just not too impressed sorry - do realise there were issues behind the scene and was prepared to accept but we went there 38yrs ago on our honeymoon and we were going back to re-live that wonderful time so felt on that basis a little let down. sorry

We came during winter and had the place all to ourselves. The hotel facilities were closed and we had to check in and have breakfast at the hotel across the road. However it was totally worth it. The room was beautifully decorated with views from every window. Heating was fantastic, firm mattress, brand new renovated bathroom, and the best cookies. The town is across a small bridge and was so picturesque.

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.

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.

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.

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.
