A very warm welcome and perfect harbour views
Lovely stay. We received a very warm welcome. The room was beautiful and very modern and stylish. Views from the room out to sea and overlooking the harbour were perfect. Evening meal was delicious and at breakfast there was a large choice of hot and cold foods.
Donna on booking-directly.comDecorated 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.
Rachael 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 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.comThe best ploughman’s I’ve ever had!
We were staying at Lynton and got the delightful cliff railway down to Lynmouth, we stopped here for a quick drink but on looking at the menu, we decided to stay for lunch. The best ploughman’s I’ve ever had, everything was homemade. Hubby had crab sandwiches, thick, chunky bread and utterly delicious. We highly recommend eating here, the food is amazing. The setting of the pub is in a beautiful location, right beside the sea, very traditional inside, just my favourite type of pub.
