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

Sharon was fantastic. We arrived on Friday, rain was tipping down. She got us a hot cuppa even before we'd unpacked our bags. Good to feel that we had made it safely! We had great, warm rooms, central location and immediately felt free to choose our own agenda. Breakfasts were magnificent, plenty to eat and (as I love black pudding)... More

Can you imagine sleping next to the soothing sound of bubbling river. The location of this charming guest house is picture perfect. Spectacular views of Lynmouth, fantastic sound effects. Spotless rooms, great meals ( gluten free for me as I am a Celiac) A friendly cosy place I would like to return to , Sheer magic More

As soon as we arrived we were given a very warm welcome by Sharon who showed us to our room. The guest house was very spacious, bright and well-equipped. The ensuite bathroom was also very big and we had everything we needed. The room had a river view which was beautiful, but as we were there during the 'Indian Summer'... More

Recently back from Lorna Doone House. Our third happy visit so we know how consistently good it is. The setting next to the East Lyn river is superb with easy access to lovely woodland, riverside and coastal walks. The house is attractive, and the facilities are excellent with thoughtfully equipped and well maintained rooms. However, what really distinguishes this hotel... More

After an arduous journey it was lovely to arrive at Lorna Doone House. A wonderful, friendly welcome and tray of tea. Talented chef meant that we stayed in each night and had lovely three course meals each evening. Our bedroom and bathroom (it was so lovely to have a bath as well as shower) was large, airy and light and... More

This was our 3rd Visit. We took my sister and her husband Roger on this occasion. I had told Sharron that it was Rogers Birthday on our second day and to our surprise there was a Birthday Card for him on our breakfast table (What a nice touch).
