This guest house is in a superb location and benefits from excellent service. The owners are helpful and friendly - nothing is too much trouble. the babbling of the river (and no other noise) aided sleep and was a real treat to wake up to. Great breakfast too!

Our parents booked the Lorna Doon for our mini-moon. We were booked into the four poster bed room. The room was really nice and the owners had even left a congratulations card for us which was a relly nice touch! We were well looked after from the minute we turned up to the minute we checked out. Good breakfasts and... More

Stayed here with my Wife and Mother for a long weekend recently. The Guesthouse is perfectly situated in a quiet location but just a couple of minutes walk to the heart of Lynmouth. We had a warm welcome on our arrival and throughout our stay Sharon had an infectious enthusiasm about her work and the immaculate Lorna Doone House. The... More

We had a fantastic Easter weekend staying at Sharon and Neil's lovely guest house, it's a really friendly atmosphere in a beautiful location, the hosts were wonderful, Sharon attentive and full of advice about the local area which included recommending a visit to the local cinema at Lynton, which is tiny but a lovely little place to visit,(although Judy's still...

An all-too-short stay booked at short notice in a favourite part of the world (previously stayed in a nearby cottage for walking holidays as a family). Travelling on my own on this occasion, I was delighted to have a comfortable double room at a competitive single rate which ticked all the boxes for me in terms of practicality and setting.... More

Arrival felt like we were visiting old friends. Sharon is so charming and disarming that you are instantly put at your ease. The room and the whole guest house are charming, spotlessly clean and our 7 year old just wanted to ignore Devon and stay there! When the 7 year old wasnt well - both Sharon and Neil couldnt have...

We read the reviews and so made the decision to stay at the Lorna Doone House. We arrived on a fairly grey afternoon but we're immediately welcomed and offered hot drinks. The room was lovely, warm and spotlessly clean and overlooked the river. We did not have a meal at the hotel as we only stayed the one night as... More

Sharon is this place - or vice versa, not sure which. We arrived in teeming rain and had barely pulled up when she appeared to help us unload our baggage into the house. She then bombed backwards and forwards getting us fresh milk for our drinks tray and sorting out the heating in our room which initially declined to work... More

There are not enough superlatives to describe our stay at Lorna Doone House. Sharon and Neil made us feel very special. The room we had was spotless, cosy, warm and comfortable with a river view. The en-suite was lovely - warm and roomy with soft towels. The food was amazing with a very substantial breakfast to set us up for... More
