10/10 Excellent

"Everything was good and especially the Breakfast"

Watersmeet Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great location, beautiful scenery, lots of free parking spaces. Staff in the restaurant were very polite, helpful and attentive. Food was excellent but a little pricey for dinner. Breakfast was included in the hotel stay which was served hot with a great variety to choose from. The restaurant overlooks the beautiful sea. We visited in early November for a business trip, wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy the peaceful surroundings."

The Bath Hotel Lynmouth

10/10 Excellent

"My wife and I took a short 2 day break at The Bath Hotel and found the staff very friendly, the suite (Observatory) was clean and super cosy, with views overlooking the harbour. After exploring the stunning scenery of the area we relaxed in the Hotel bar ( Ancient Mariner ) with a few pints and excellent food all in front of a log burner. Can’t recommend this Hotel enough and we will definitely be back soon. P.s breakfast was excellent, 5*"
