Interesting experience for one night

Excellent position, real character

A very old, quirky, unique building but requires a general refurbishment of the common areas

Room 2. Was excellent and clean Carpets in hallway could do with updating.

Lots of flies in restaurant. A fly catcher of some sort might help,?

Lovely Stay in Lynmouth

9.0

Very friendly and helpful staff. Comfortable, quiet room, with a view of the bay.

We ordered packed lunches, but using ham hock, instead of ham, in a ham sandwich was a bit too messy and fatty.
