We spent two nights on a special deal to include dinner at this 14th century tavern/hotel/restaurant. Very old with winding staircases and loads of character. Our room was freshly refurbished and completely modern with a lovely shower room. Down side was the noise from the door being opened and shut just outside our harbour view room and cigarette smoke from... More

Me and my parents had a lovely dinner here recommended by the owners of 'Castlehill guesthouse'. The food here was lovely if a bit pricey, we had oysters, mackerel escabeche and whitebait to start, then the crab, sardines and mussels for main. It was all delicious, there really is nothing better then eating fresh fish by the sea!

Not the cheapest option in Lynmouth, but it's a buzz staying in something that dates to the 14th Century! Rooms are very comfortable and perfectly nice, with great outlooks to the bay and the village. The restaurant is great, too. Menu and food quality are outstanding for both dinners and breakfasts. Highly recommended!

Stayed here a few times and the hotel and restaurant are just lovely and I would highly recommend it to anyone. Hotel is charming, very old with nooks and crannies all over the place, the restaurant food is gorgeous. Stunning location.

We went for a week of walking in Exmoor and stayed here. We tried to book a twin room for the week but because of availability were told we (my friend and I - not partners) would have to share a double bed on day 2. However, the friendly manageress upgraded us to a double room each for the same... More

We have just spent a great 3 nights at the Rising Sun. This Hotel is quite unique. If you are after huge rooms etc this place is not for you,but if you love a cosy historic and atmospheric place this is for you. Room 11 had a great view over the harbour to the dramatic cliffs. The room was clean... More

Following a very disappointing stay elsewhere the previous night, The Rising Sun was always going to be an improvement. However, it really did provide just what we were after. Good, clean rooms, well appointed and quiet. We all slept well. Staff are very good, friendly and accomodating. They are not at all geared up for children but do make that... More

The Good: The room we stayed in had just been refurbished and was lovely. We had a gorgeous view, and a door just outside our room taking us outside, which was handy, we ate in the restaurant on our secnd night (we stayed for 2) and the meal was really delightful, in a lovely setting and although expensive, I didnt...

I booked a 2 night stay at the Rising sun over the 13th and 14th Feb with my Fiance and our 6 month old baby girl. I had booked a table for Valentines night too. When I booked, I was in Lynmouth and made the booking in person. I spoke with Michelle on the Hotel reception and made the arrangements... More
