Past it's prime, avoid breakfast
The hotel is definitely past its prime and much of what was once a beautiful hotel has been covered up or blocked off. The views are truly wonderful, and the rooms are ok. However, I can't remember when I had a worse breakfast, at any price. The eggs were actually grey in bits, smelled and were inedible.

We’ve been to Lynton & Lynmouth so many times and it’s one of our favourite places. We just wanted a last minute reasonable price weekend which this hotel delivered on. The room and hotel generally was tired but comfortable. If you love the area and are prepared to compromise on quality of accommodation this might suit as it did us.

It was a spectacular building magnificently over looking Lynmouth- loved it. The team were friendly and approachable. When the building is fully refurbished it will be totally devine. Would benefit from more up market entertainment so applicable to every age range. I will definitely be back to see progress made in the hotel. Thank you everyone.

Excellent stay
We had a great stay in Vally of Rocks hotel. Our room was very clean, a reception manager was extremely helpful and friendly. We had a superior double room which was a very simple large room with a sea view. We felt that it was an excellent value for money. We only needed a one night stay (it was a last minute idea to visit Lynton and Lynmouth). It’s also very interesting to learn about the hotel’s history and the exterior of the hotel is very grand and beautiful. Thank you for a lovely stay.

For a hotel that seemed to be almost empty, we were given a road facing room on the ground floor instead of being flexible and alloting one the sea facing rooms. That would have been a great gesture on their part

Lovely quaint hotel was in the middle of a transfer of ownership. Was a tiny shower and all the windows were sealed shut. Overall a good price for a couple of days in a small village to see the local sights.

The location of this hotel cannot be faulted with its amazing views. The hotel is a lovely building but could do with some TLC. Was surprised by the dinner timings only being 6-6:30 which is a bit early for adults on a break. This was compounded half way through our break when we went to order a drink to have with dinner and were told they were in new ownership and were no longer licensed to service alcohol! We ended up eating out after that. The Crown pub in Lynton is excellent and I would recommend using booking B&B at the hotel and eating out for dinner.
