This was my third time staying at Seawood. I live in New Jersey so come quite a long way, but it is worth it - even the weather was beautiful. Russ and Kerinda are truly great hosts, and each time I have happily seen all the improvements they make yearly - Seawood is now a perfect boutique hotel and a... More

I have mixed feelings about this hotel, starting from when we arrived and no one was there except other guests, who greeted us. It is in a good location, right next to the cable car to Lynmouth. There was no wi-fi in the room (Ruddy Ball) or mobile reception in the hotel, but a day without that is OK. Also... More

Thank you for your interesting review. Things we can address: 1. If guests are unhappy about anything, eg soap, flannels, toilet rolls or room. Please tell us, we are unable to guess. We would have been able to address all of these. Soap - we use liquid soap and bath/shower gel as part of our green policy because waste is... More

Great hotel and would certainly go back. The owners, Russ and Kerinda were excellent hosts and i think you would have to go a long way to beat the cooking, both at dinner and breakfast. The room was clean, big and to a very good standard. One of the most comfortable mattresses i have slept on. The view was amazing!... More

We had a wonderful three days at Seawood. Russ and Kerinda were kind and attentive hosts. Our room was lovely, high-end and the view was spectacular. The atmosphere through the hotel is comfortable and relaxed with a pleasant sitting area and a cosy bar. The breakfast menu was extensive and the food was wonderful. We only had dinner at the...

The Seawood Hotel is an excellent choice. Very comfortable rooms. This time we stayed in the Countisbury suite. Previously we have stayed in Ragged Jack. Well decorated, very bright and clean. Lovely bathrooms. Russ and Karinda are very freindly and always want to make your stay as pleasant as possible. Beautiful views out to sea from most if not all... More

Stayed here for 4 nights in May. The hotel is in a beautiful location in the cliffs at Lynton with wonderful views over Lynmouth and beyond. The welcome from Russ and Kerinda was very encouraging and nothing disappointed - the room, the decor, the food (breakfast and dinner), ambience were all excellent. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely... More

I have to stay in a lot of hotels for my work, but this was unlike any I've ever stayed in. It was a perfect choice for a wedding anniversary and well deserving of the ratings it's achieved. Russ and Kerinda couldn't do more to make us feel welcome and comfortable. It's a delight to find hotel managers who clearly... More

Everything about this hotel is first class - the food, the owners, the rooms, the views.... and the North Devon coast scenery is just stunning. If you stay here I would definitely recommend eating at the hotel - you won't be disappointed.
