What guests think
Rising Sun Hotel is a quirky, historic inn in a scenic harbour-side spot, praised for friendly, welcoming staff, comfortable and clean rooms with sea views, and tasty pub dining, though some rooms feel small and prices can be high.
Breakfast receives mixed notes, with occasional limited choices, vegetarian or vegan options not clearly shown, and inconsistent quality on some mornings. The characterful building brings charm alongside trade-offs like compact layouts, narrow beds or baths without showers, and some areas feeling tired. The harbour location is convenient for walks, shops and the cliff railway, with nearby parking that can be busy and a short walk. Expect a charming, well-located old inn with warm service and good food, plus a few quirks.

This is a really nice old fashioned pub style accomodation but has a really good chef and therefore very good food. Slightly above the average price but well worth it. However there are other local options for dining. The room overlooked the bay and you could see surfers in the distance along with the small harbour. The famous Lynton to Lynmouth railway is just round the corner and well worth a trip for the spectacular views. Will definitely go back at some point.

We have always loved the Rising Sun but it’s under new ownership and is clearly under staffed these days: only one stressed waiter at dinner and one stressed waitress at breakfast. The breakfast menu has no mention of a vegetarian or vegan option and only if you ask do you discover there are veggie sausages available. You can no longer buy local beers at the bar either which for me is a great shame.

Beautifully situated within easy walking distance of shops/walks/harbour and beach. Room 16 was small, which is expected in an old building, but was characterful with great sea view. The thick walls made it very cool on a scorching day. Only downside was bath could do with a shower curtain and car park gets very busy and is 5 min walk. Enjoyed the food in the restaurant both at breakfast and dinner. Would stay again.

Lovely quirky place. Super bar and dining room. Loved the view, the uneven floor in our room, the quaint stairs, the helpful staff. The shower was wonderful. The only negative is that the bed was too narrow. I think it was a basic double and we're used to having king or superking when we stay in a hotel. Not massively important, and it didn't spoil our stay, but would have liked a vegan full English breakfast option. Hope to stay again in the future.

We booked a two night stay at the Rising Sun. Our room was lovely, very clean, the bed was extremely comfortable & bath was incredible, well worth a soak. The food was very nice, although quite expensive if I am honest, I would expect to pay prices like that in a restaurant, not a pub. The staff were very friendly, although appeared under pressure at times.

The property was listed as old and quirky property. This is fine but what struck me firstly was the smell of dirty carpets, (Similar to what I have experienced before at cheap Blackpool style B&B's). The décor looked tired and was not clean. There were AA award plaques on the walls which I suspect must have been from many years ago. Overall this the place has had a tired and in need of renovation feel (plus the smell of course). This was supposed to be 14th century building which is fine, but this does not excuse the condition of the place. Some interior doors were plywood! and unpainted. The food was ridiculously expensive and was in no way value for money. (The steak I had came with dried out chips and not much more, for neraly £30.00! Really!), oh and plus of course £5.00 service charge. When we arrived we were given a room with a bath which was about three or four foot high and could not be easily accessed. In fact I would go as far as to say that this was dangerous especially when wet. When I put this to the staff they said they were awating some steps. What are they thinking of putting such a bath in there in the first place?The selection of beers in the bar was appalling without of the usual backup of common lagers and beers that people can drink instead of the local brewery stuff. Breakfast was usually OK, with the exception of our last day when it was completely hard, dried out and inedible. The rooms were clean and did not smell. The staff were courteous.

This is a really nice old fashioned pub style accomodation but has a really good chef and therefore very good food. Slightly above the average price but well worth it. However there are other local options for dining. The room overlooked the bay and you could see surfers in the distance along with the small harbour. The famous Lynton to Lynmouth railway is just round the corner and well worth a trip for the spectacular views. Will definitely go back at some point.

The accommodation was good. Excellent shower and view. Just wouldn’t eat an evening meal there again. Ran out of so many things, it was embarrassing for the young waitress.

We booked a two night stay at the Rising Sun. Our room was lovely, very clean, the bed was extremely comfortable & bath was incredible, well worth a soak. The food was very nice, although quite expensive if I am honest, I would expect to pay prices like that in a restaurant, not a pub. The staff were very friendly, although appeared under pressure at times.

Our evening meal was very average, pasta dish poor and breakfast very limited. Staff very friendly, helpful and polite. The bed in our room was very small, although the room could accommodate a larger bed.

Accommodation and evening meal excellent! Marked down due to the fact the Chef was ‘off’ for breakfast service and had to go to a nearby hotel for a sub standard breakfast and cold coffee!

We had a lovely stay. Room was very comfortable. The food was lovely although the evening meal Menu was a little limited. Breakfast was lovely . Good choice of food , we had the full English and my only comment would be , could the sausages be browned, they tasted amazing but looked a little anaemic. Overall. Everything was lovely and we would be happy to stay again.

This is a really nice old fashioned pub style accomodation but has a really good chef and therefore very good food. Slightly above the average price but well worth it. However there are other local options for dining. The room overlooked the bay and you could see surfers in the distance along with the small harbour. The famous Lynton to Lynmouth railway is just round the corner and well worth a trip for the spectacular views. Will definitely go back at some point.

A comfortable room with a sea view & very clean. Friendly & helpful staff. Excellent breakfasts. Lovely old bar with a good selection of ales. Close to funicular railway & plenty of parking nearby.

Decent sized room overlooking the boats bobbing about. Great shower and looks like a brand new bathroom. The chipped paint within the room lets it down a bit but nevertheless, we enjoyed our stay.

A modern bathroom in a 14th century hotel was definitely not expected. WiFi worked in the room. The staff were friendly and efficient. Breakfast provided a good selection and the cooked items were really good. Sunday lunch was close to home made with plenty of different vegetables. Will definitely return!
