A very impressive B & B

This would have to be the cleanest and tidest B &B in the UK. We were greeted by the hosts and were offered tea and coffee with a nice cake. We was really impressed with the property and would strongly recommend it to any traveller. Being Australian it was big bonus seeing Vegimite on the condiment table. Thank you for a lovely stay and the suggestions you gave us for dinner and sightseeing.

Great place to stay to discover Lynton / Exmoor

John was very helpful and gave some great tips on where to go in the area, and where to eat. The guest house is located in a very special spot, on the edge of the town of Lynton, really close to the Valley of Rocks. The room was very clean and comfortable.
