Andrew Giles on TripAdvisorThe best smoked salmon and scrambled eggs I have ever had
We had a lovely stay at The Rising Sun. The staff were wonderful and the food was great. The breakfast was particularly good. The best smoked salmon and scrambled eggs I have ever had. Our room overlooked the harbour with wonderful views of the coast and the town. The room was very comfortable. The hotel is 5 minutes' walk from the funicular which takes you up to Lynton.
Lyn on TripAdvisorFrom a lovely welcome to our departure, we couldn't fault a thing
What a wonderful stay we have had at The Rising Sun. From a lovely welcome to our departure, we couldn't fault a thing. The staff were all so pleasant and helpful. Our room had everything we could need for a comfortable stay. The food was excellent, with locally sourced ingredients all beautifully cooked, from delicious breakfasts to exceptional evening dinners. Very well done, we loved it!
Viv on TripAdvisorA great spot overlooking the harbour
A lovely hotel with a great spot overlooking the harbour. The room we had was up a steepish hill, but this wasn't a problem for us. The view was amazing from the room, and the king size bed was extremely comfy. Breakfast was plentiful and you didn't feel at all rushed. All in all, a great stay and felt very relaxed.
Emma on TripAdvisorAbsolutely perfect, and the real punch comes from the kitchen
Absolutely perfect! As everything I will write about the Rising Sun will be the same verdict, I could finish my review there. Everything from the moment we arrived until we left was amazing. A friendly welcome, a beautiful room with fabulous views over the little harbour and coastline, a 'shockingly' comfortable bed and clean modern shower room. The bar had a great selection of delicious beers, and a really good choice of quality wines. But the real punch comes from the kitchen! As a rule, we never eat in the restaurant of the hotel we're staying in. We stayed at The Rising Sun for 3 nights and ate in The Rising Sun for 3 nights! The food was phenomenal! The seafood chowder brimmed with fresh fish, as was the Fish Pie. The mushroom and tarragon pate was a work of genius! The locally sourced lamb rump was trying to jump off the plate, it was so fresh, but possibly my favourite, the stuffed pork tenderloin with accompanying pork and black pudding sausage roll! Sounds 'working class', British cooking at its best!
