The 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 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!
Hugh on TripAdvisorLovely hotel and restaurant!
This is the second time we have stopped at the Rising Sun within a year and both stays have been perfect! The staff are very helpful and provide a superb service. We would highly recommend staying here and having a meal in the outstanding restaurant! We have stayed in two different rooms and both have been lovely with beautiful sea views. We will be returning very soon!
Joshua on TripAdvisorDecorated with taste in a classic style that embraces the age of the Inn
Lovely room overlooking the harbour, accessed from a flight of twisty stairs and a delightfully wonky corridor with original panelling and low, not for me, beams. Our room was decorated with taste in a classic style to embrace the age of the Inn without feeling like your Aunty Edna's house. Great to perch on the window seat and look out to sea with the thatch overhead. Fab breakfast, nicely presented by chefs who understand allergies; mine was strictly gluten-free. Don't be alarmed by the traditional pubby feel when you arrive; this isn't the experience you have as a guest, and despite being one floor up and directly over the front door and outdoor seating, there was no late-night noise to keep us awake at all. Lovely, friendly staff. We would definitely stay here again.
