Ottima posizione vista mare e ideale per esplorare i dintorni
Pros:

Buona colazione all'inglese, in una grande sala vintage, come i vasti spazi comuni dell'intero albergo. Posizione dominante sulla costa di Lynmouth, raggiungibile sia in funicolare sia a piedi su un ripido sentiero. A breve distanza il centro storico di Lynton con numerosi ristoranti. A 100 m dall'albergo passa il South West Coast Path che abbiamo percorso per raggiungere la bellissima Valley of the Rocks. Camera grande con bellissima vista sul mare e bagno spazioso con doccia. Ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo.

Cons:

Si potrebbe posticipare il check out

Top locatie en potentieel prachtig hotel.
Pros:

Locatie is geweldig, wij hebben uitzicht op zee genomen.
Ontvangst was prima, maar bij vertrek niemand gezien en sleutel in bakje op balie
Prijs kwaliteit kan er mee door als het is om puur te overnachten
Het pand is uit vroeger tijden met grote trappen, maar helaas veel achterstallig onderhoud aan buitenkant.

Cons:

Onze douche werd water niet warm?
Kamers zijn met houten vloeren uit vroeger tijden en daardoor vrij gehorig
Het is jammer dat het hotel niet vol in bedrijf is, met ontbijt mogelijkheden en bar

Would definitely not stay here again
Pros:

Can't think of anything yet.

Cons:

There are no meals whatsoever at this hotel. No hot water. Electric sockets not working. If you wanted something to eat at the hotel, they would sell you a Pot Noodle. The room was very cold at night. They charge you £6.00 a night to park in their car park. Hotel entrance has broken tiles on steps, which are a big trip hazard.

JOG 2 LE on vintage tractors Team
Pros:

We are doing charity fundraising driving tractors from JOHN O GROATS TO lands end. Every morning I book forward accomodation and with 8 people 2 dogs, 5 vehicles same day, you can't be too choosey. The reviews were mixed and I honestly thought it would not be great.

But wow! take it from someone who's hotelled the length of the UK this week, this hotel is value for money.
