Un endroit charmant !
Pros:

L’emplacement et l’aspect cosy de la chambre étaient très agréables.

Cons:

Nous avions sélectionné et payé pour la demie pension, ce qui implicitait le dîner dans l’établissement... Nous avions annoncé notre horaire d’arrivée... Surprise, aucune ne nous était réservée et nous avons dû attendre un bon bout de temps pour en avoir une.... La logique aurait voulu qu’on nous demande en amont l’heure souhaitée de notre dîner afin de nous réserver une table... Conclusion: si l’organisation de l’établissement n’évolue pas, pensez à réserver votre table même si vous avez choisi la demie pension.
Attention pas d’ascenseur dans l’établissement avec des escaliers assez étroits

LOVELY HOTEL & LOCATION, SHAME ABOUT A MEMBER OF STAFF WHO RUINED IT.
Pros:

Absolutely loved the location and the interior of our room was perfect. The rooms were exceptional. The bar in the hotel was full of vibes and lively, which added to the evening. The exterior of the hotel was good too.

Cons:

I would have scored this higher but on arrival I was greeted by a very rude, unwelcoming and grumpy woman in the bar. We arrived at around 12.15 pm, never been here before. At reception there was a sign saying if there was no staff member to go to the bar for help and support. I walked into the bar and as I was talking about checking in, this very angry and frustrated member of staff, said "you can't check in til 3 pm, some are still sleeping", she didn't let me finish my sentence, assumed everything and learned nothing. Then others arrived and she literally said to all of us "Guys you can't get in until 3 pm, come on", it was like she was talking to school children. I firmly said to her if you would let me finish, I wasn't asking to get in to my room. She waffled on and was rude, there were no kind words, have you had a good journey, nice to meet you, are you here on holiday, zero. She was just frustrated we were there and offered us nothing but a very rude mouth. The rest of the stay I never saw her again, thank goodness and the rest of the staff were great.

Pros:

Schön gelegen im Zentrum von Lynton. Der Hausflur ist etwas muffig, aber das Zimmer ganz hübsch. Das essen im Restaurant hat uns nicht so sehr geschmeckt, aber dafür war das Frühstück das Beste unserer ganzen Reise. Auch der Pub im Haus ist gemütlich und hat gute Musik, man bekommt auch zu späterer Stunde noch etwas zu trinken.

Cons:

Qualität der Speisen im Restaurant.

It felt like a little bit of luxury for quite a reasonable price (we had it reduced as last minute)
Pros:

We had a lovely suite with shower room and separate bathroom with a freestanding bath which was lovely along with bath robes and fluffy towels. The rooms were decorated very well. We had free gin and tonic in the room as well as the biscuits/tea/coffee. It all felt quite luxurious.

Cons:

I am unsure about the coffee machine as I am a tea drinker and I don't really know how to work them so instructions would be good. I managed but it was a bit faffy. My husband is 6ft 3" and he kept banging a head on the door into the room. A sign or foam rubber would be good - he really hurt his head and he was sober! We had a nice meal in the restaurant even though a few things had sold out which was disappointing. Overall though the place is very nice! I think for the winter you may need thicker rugs on the floor and blinds to keep the room warm.

Good stay in central location
Pros:

Lovely comfy room with a big telly in a central location easy to walk to different national trust sites and several walking paths nearby. A plethora of cafes nearby. Room beautiful and very clean.

Cons:

Being a pub there is some talking till midnight outside the windows but we can accept that it is what it is. After that it was silent . Car park is tiny we were prepared to park in the public car park if we had to.

Mooie plek
Pros:

De plek en de pub

Cons:

Pas bij het ontbijt begreep ik dat ik daar nog extra voor moest betalen. Bij een prijsvaststelling 153 € wel onverwacht. Geen parkeergelegenheid geregeld

地點、房間都不錯,但可能員工不足,服務能力有限,有人留言「早餐很棒」,不知道是什麼很棒?早餐內容相當貧乏,還好只訂了一天。
Pros:

大浴缸!

Cons:

浴室馬桶故障、有噪音;夜間的地燈整夜自動開啟,也是噪音不斷,反應後第三天才有零件修理馬桶的問題。

Una corona a metà
Pros:

La posizione in centro al paese, la cura dell'arredamento della camera e il grande bagno.

Cons:

Le dimensioni della camera, decisamente minuscola; la generale noncuranza dello staff, sia al nostro arrivo quando non hanno avvisato che c'era un parcheggio riservato ai clienti, invitandoci ad andare a quello a pagamento, sia nel non comunicare correttamente i costi della colazione.

Zentral gelegenes, aber ruhiges Hotel in Lynton mit urgemütlichen Zimmern
Pros:

Wir waren bereits vor zwei Jahren schon einmal hier gewesen und hatten uns damals sehr wohl gefühlt. Doch das Personal war nun jünger und leider nicht mehr ganz so zugewandt - aber natürlich trotzdem freundlich. Unser 3-Bett-Zimmer war sehr geräumig und die Betten wirklich bequem. Alles war sauber, neben dem üblichen Wasserkocher für Tee und Instantkaffee gab es sogar eine kleine Kapselmaschine. Auch hier alles sehr ordentlich und sauber.
Das Frühstück war vor zwei Jahren eine Wucht gewesen und wir hatten uns darum sehr darauf gefreut. Leider konnten wir es dann doch nicht nochmals genießen bzw. bewerten, ob es immer noch so gut ist ...

Cons:

Aufgrund eines Planungsfehlers mussten wir noch vor dem Frühstück abreisen. Es war nicht möglich, dass man uns ein paar belegte Sandwiches vorbereitet hätte. Dafür hatten wir zwar grundsätzlich Verständnis, doch der einfache Hinweis, wir könnten uns zumindest in der Früh einen Tee auf dem Zimmer zubereiten, zeugte nicht von großem Entgegenkommen oder Zugewandtheit. Das war schade.
Die Parkplätze direkt am Hotel sind begrenzt und der Raum etwas beengt, wir hatten aber keine Probleme, einen Parkplatz zu bekommen.
