Lovely location. Captains house very pretty & clean but very basic
Breakfast was solid.
My gripe is that I booked a room with a private bathroom, but when I was shown the room I was told that the shower and the toilet were on the other side of the landing. No private bathroom even though I’d paid for one.
Lovely aspect, spotless room, would have preferred en suite bathroom, even though private bathroom on same landing. I stayed at top of prooerty in single room, personally found stairs a bit of a trial . Very quiet, can't comment on food as room only. Nice to have tea making facilities in room. Bed comfortable and warm.
Beautiful gardens outside, well appointed for stroll to beach and village.
Avoid. Found out, common knowledge in the town that 'he' has a terrible reputation; been up for sale for years-no wonder. Arrogant and insulting. Room full of faults.
Excellent position to explore Watersmeet and Valley of the Rocks. Incredibile and breathtaking views never seen in my life!
The hotel has his peculiar Victorian style, which we absolutely loved! Super clean and tidy, everything in the hotel was looked after and very well maintained. Just perfect! I can't wait to come back here again
We really loved our stay , the hosts were very welcoming and breakfast was lovely. We enjoy staying somewhere with character and it definitely has that !and it was super clean .lynmouth is beautiful and there is plenty to do in the area we reckon the circular walk to Watersmeet and Countisbury and also the riding sun pub if you want a fancy meal
We would definitely stay again Thankyou 🙂

Lovely B&B
Lovely small room overlooking the river. The sound of the river flowing was relaxing and therapeutic.
The host was charming as well as his wife and son. I was upgraded which was another bonus.
