Superb in every way. Warm and welcoming staff who couldn’t have been more helpful and kind. Cosy but spacious bedroom with very comfortable bed. Fantastic home cooked food and plenty of it! A roaring log fire and honesty bar for drinks and snacks. The views are spectacular and although in a quiet location, within easy reach of the shops.

The hotel is in a great position, less than five minutes walk from Lynton centre, has fantastic sea views and also looks down over Lynmouth. It is also right beside the funicular railway and even has its own entrance by the top. Our room wasn't the biggest but it was comfortable and being twin aspect had great views. There is an honesty bar and interesting public areas. There was even an EV charging point in the hotel car park. All in all a very pleasant stay.

Lovely hotel that has been through a tasteful refurbishment in recent times. Lovely comfortable room, large fluffy towels and the best cooked to order Full English breakfast I’ve had in a hotel. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Bar prices are reasonable and it has a great little terrace with fabulous views overlooking Lynmouth bay. The cliff railway passes the side of the hotel and can be accessed by a series of steep steps that give the lungs a good work out. But worth it for the ride down to beautiful Lynmouth Lynton has a lot of steep hills … short but mighty ! you need a certain amount of stamina to climb them and flat shoes.

Stayed in the quad room with sea view. Wonderful, characterful property with very friendly, helpful proprietors. Beautiful breakfast room and comfortable lounge. The honesty bar is a great idea and we used it. From the photos we did think our room looked out to sea but was actually at the back/side of the house which was a bit disappointing..but we could still see the sea at a stretch. Overall a lovely stay. Electric car charger was excellent. Only slight negative would be the enormous wooden bed that literally filled the room. No room for anything else such as luggage and we would bang our shins on it trying to get to the other little bedroom. Would stay again but go for one of the front rooms. Thank for a lovely stay.

Nice Hotel with great views, run by a fabulously charming and helpful couple. Getting to the carpark is via a narrow lane on a steep incline, so not too good if you don't like reversing your car in tight environs of if you have a big old van of SUV, but the views are worth it. Breakfast gets 12 out of 10. The walls/ceiling are not that well sound-proofed (in our room at least) so you may want to request a quiet room if you don't want to be disturbed by next doors TV set. Hosts are utterly lovely, and they are super keen that everyone has a great stay. Lovely to see.

The North Cliff Hotel was one of those charming old traditional Hotels, that as a Hotel had been in operation for 100years. The Managers were lovely and helpful. Our room was up 3 floors, but they assisted with bags. Our room was small, but had great views. Great English brekky included, and we did have a simple dinner there the before. Honesty tab for wine, beers, drinks and snacks in the dining room. Check in is not until 3.30pm, and dinner orders must be in by 4pm. The railway to Lynmouth is right next to the Hotel. Worth catching back up if you have walked down. Lyton town is also charming with lots of good pubs for drinks dinner etc.

What a fabulous hotel. The couple who run it and own it Rebecca and Steve are the perfect hosts (apart from Steve’s Dad jokes). The food is always freshly cooked to order. Hot when it arrives and very tasty. The whole experience is amazing. From the beauty of the decor to the amazing layout, bar, dining and lounge area. Rebecca and Steve work extremely hard to make the stay as enjoyable as possible. We will be going back in the near future. Don’t miss out by looking elsewhere.

The parking situation is very tight, we were on the third floor with no lift, tiny room with very small window for the ocean view we paid for, bathroom even smaller. One must enter a suppper order br 4 pm of day of dinner, which means any later arrivals are very limited in what they will make for you. There are other places around to eat, but after a long drive, we didn't want to get back in the car. Room is very old. Staff was nice was nice.

Wonderful stay at The North Cliff Hotel! Great location for easy access into the town and the Tarka trail for the Valley of Rocks and beyond on the coastal path. Our room had the most incredible views across the bay from two sides. The beds were very comfortable and the shower was powerful. We had to leave early for the ferry to Lundy so we didn’t get to stay for breakfast but the staff were very accommodating allowing us an early check in after a long overnight flight and drive. There was plenty of tea, coffee and biscuits and overall it was a wonderful stay!

Very memorable stay. Hotel offers breathtaking views of Lymouth beach and harbour, is right next to the Lymouth Cliff railway and just a short walk from Valley of Rocks. Breakfast was great, in particular the coffee. Quad room actually.comprises 2 rooms - one with a double bed and ensuite toilet and another with 2 singles. The rooms are comfy and well decorated. My only regret is staying only 1 night at this lovely hotel.

We really love this area in Lynton. This hotel is about my favourite in the area. I think it’s fine. It hasn’t changed much(at all?) in last 5 years. It’s definitely being run a bit understaffed (limited coverage on front desk and hours for food service). If you are organised it’s not an issue but it’s noticeable. Id rate this as a 3.5 star level hotel in a marvellous location. As long as you are out and about a lot (we are) it doesn’t matter too much. On the one hand it feels a bit pricey but I keep going back so hey maybe it’s not!

Very friendly and warm welcome received. Offered a free upgrade too. Evening meal was OK, could have been better, but they made a big effort to accommodate my food allergy so grateful for that. Great location, views over the sea/Lynmouth. Right over the cliff railway too. Breakfast was excellent, good choice of hot cold options. I look forward to staying here again in the future.

We had to leave early for the ferry to Lundy so we didn’t get to stay for breakfast but the staff were very accommodating allowing us an early check in after a long overnight flight and drive. There was plenty of tea, coffee and biscuits and overall it was a wonderful stay!

Superb in every way. Warm and welcoming staff who couldn’t have been more helpful and kind. Cosy but spacious bedroom with very comfortable bed. Fantastic home cooked food and plenty of it! A roaring log fire and honesty bar for drinks and snacks. The views are spectacular and although in a quiet location, within easy reach of the shops.

The hotel is in a great position, less than five minutes walk from Lynton centre, has fantastic sea views and also looks down over Lynmouth. It is also right beside the funicular railway and even has its own entrance by the top. Our room wasn't the biggest but it was comfortable and being twin aspect had great views. There is an honesty bar and interesting public areas. There was even an EV charging point in the hotel car park. All in all a very pleasant stay.

Very memorable stay. Hotel offers breathtaking views of Lymouth beach and harbour, is right next to the Lymouth Cliff railway and just a short walk from Valley of Rocks. Breakfast was great, in particular the coffee. Quad room actually.comprises 2 rooms - one with a double bed and ensuite toilet and another with 2 singles. The rooms are comfy and well decorated. My only regret is staying only 1 night at this lovely hotel.

Lovely hotel that has been through a tasteful refurbishment in recent times. Lovely comfortable room, large fluffy towels and the best cooked to order Full English breakfast I’ve had in a hotel. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Bar prices are reasonable and it has a great little terrace with fabulous views overlooking Lynmouth bay. The cliff railway passes the side of the hotel and can be accessed by a series of steep steps that give the lungs a good work out. But worth it for the ride down to beautiful Lynmouth Lynton has a lot of steep hills … short but mighty ! you need a certain amount of stamina to climb them and flat shoes.

Dining
Breakfast is consistently praised for quality, variety and cooked to order dishes. Evening meals are generally tasty but constrained by early preordering or limited hours, and a few guests found them only OK.

The location was stunning. The owners were warm, friendly and very helpful. The evening menu was extensive and what we chose was delicious. There was a low carb, low GI meal available which was both welcome and extremely tasty. Breakfast was a feast and set us up for the day. Highly recommend this hotel.

What a fabulous hotel. The couple who run it and own it Rebecca and Steve are the perfect hosts (apart from Steve’s Dad jokes). The food is always freshly cooked to order. Hot when it arrives and very tasty. The whole experience is amazing. From the beauty of the decor to the amazing layout, bar, dining and lounge area. Rebecca and Steve work extremely hard to make the stay as enjoyable as possible. We will be going back in the near future. Don’t miss out by looking elsewhere.

The parking situation is very tight, we were on the third floor with no lift, tiny room with very small window for the ocean view we paid for, bathroom even smaller. One must enter a suppper order br 4 pm of day of dinner, which means any later arrivals are very limited in what they will make for you. There are other places around to eat, but after a long drive, we didn't want to get back in the car. Room is very old. Staff was nice was nice.

Very friendly and warm welcome received. Offered a free upgrade too. Evening meal was OK, could have been better, but they made a big effort to accommodate my food allergy so grateful for that. Great location, views over the sea/Lynmouth. Right over the cliff railway too. Breakfast was excellent, good choice of hot cold options. I look forward to staying here again in the future.

Happy: helpful staff, great breakfast, Clean and cozy room, comfortable bed, good shower, picturesque window view, 24-hour self service bar, 5 minutes walk to town centre. Unhappy: room too warm during daytime in summer, and we didn't know that dinner must be booked before 4pm, so missed it. Overall a great place to stay, would love to go again and try the dinner.

We had an excellent stay. All areas were well maintained but retained their traditional charm. The breakfasts were amazing and the staff were all very helpful. The location was ideal for us as not only could we enjoy the wonderful views from the hotel, but it was right on the path to the Valley of the Rocks, close to the amenities of Lynton and to very near the Cliff Railway down to Lynmouth.

Difficult for me to leave a review for the Hotel as I was only their for one night as I was taken ill. Would like to say the family who run this Hotel were exceptional in taking care of not just myself but my wife and children also. Can't thank them enough. My intention is to visit this hotel again once I have regained my health not only for the stay but to thank this family personally. Allan.
