Perfectly positioned on the edge of the harbour. Our room was a standard, very small especially as we had our golden retriever with us. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Breakfast is very good, with a great selection.

We had such a lovely stay. Great location and very quaint. The only negative, the bathroom would have benefitted from a shower versus bath.

This is a really nice old fashioned pub style accomodation but has a really good chef and therefore very good food. Slightly above the average price but well worth it. However there are other local options for dining. The room overlooked the bay and you could see surfers in the distance along with the small harbour. The famous Lynton to Lynmouth railway is just round the corner and well worth a trip for the spectacular views. Will definitely go back at some point.
