Absolutely fantastic experience
Absolutely fantastic experience. Excellent food, super friendly staff who couldn't be nicer or more professional, great choice of ales and wine. And did I mention the food. Just "Wow!" difficult to fault. Doggie friendly in the bar as well. Will most definitely be returning. Highly recommended.

All the staff were happy, helpful, and friendly. Nothing was too much trouble. Our room had a fantastic view over Lynmouth and sea. Everything was spotlessly clean. Food was delicious, both breakfast and dinner. Friendly, lively atmosphere. We only intended to stay for 2 nights but ended up staying 5.
Kate on ExpediaThe 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 TripAdvisorExcellent from beginning to end
Excellent from beginning to end. Staff were so very helpful, and nothing seemed to be too much trouble. The location was just what anyone could wish for, and the sea views were spectacular especially from the Cottage (which we had). We will certainly return.
Steve on Booking.comWe've always dreamed of staying here and it didn't disappoint
We normally camp but this year we chose the Rising Sun for our Easter Break. Perfectly located with wonderful sea views from our room. This chocolate box inn is superbly cosy yet with more than a hint of piracy. In fact, climbing the stairs to our room and navigating the tilting hallway put me in mind of old galleons. Our room was nicely furnished with a good en-suite shower room and a cute window seat. The room was small but clean. It must be hard to clean all the nooks and crannies of such an ancient building but think they nailed it. Definitely due for some redecoration though as many scuffs and dents on the walls. The carpet on stairs and landing needs taking away and left as wood in my opinion. We had a fabulous meal there on our first night and the breakfasts were great too. We've always dreamed of staying here and it didn't disappoint.
