This is small B and B run very well by enthusiastic hosts. Eager to help you enjoy your stay with advice on walks around the are. The rooms were well maintained and very clean. Nice touch to leave large bottles of toiletries and emergency pack for female visitors. The breakfast was perfectly cooked by John and served by Sally. The... More

We had a smallish room with various nice touches, such as hand cream, biscuits and cakes. Good free wifi. Reasonably priced. Hosts friendly (but we gather they are trying to sell the business). Slight irritation that breakfast has to be ordered the night before, together with a time slot.

Thank you Sue and David for your kind comments, pity you could not have stayed longer. You could have had a larger room but I think price was a consideration. It is not unusual with B&Bs and Guesthouses to request breakfast orders the evening before hand as it prevents wastage and allows timely food preparation. Glad you liked the cakes... More

We stayed here as a suprise from for our anniversary in August and had a very enjoyable time. The guest house is well situated in Lynton only a short walk to the cliff railway into Lynmouth and in the other direction to valley of the rocks. The owners were very friendly and helpful without being overbearing. The breakfasts were lovely... More

We enjoyed our stay at the Denes Guest House very much. The atmosphere was very friendly, and Sally and John were the best possible hosts. Very helpful. The room was immaculate and your every need had been accounted for. When we go back to Lynton, we will definately book here again. Made our holiday great.

We stayed here for two nights, perfect place to start your trips into Exmoore. The owners were very friendly and helpful, especially when we planed our walking activities. By the way, the nature around this place is just wonderful! Thanks again. This B&B is our recommendation without a second thought!

This B&B is clean enough with the traditional decor you would expect from a basic B&B. Clean rooms, TV, towels (very small hand towels and nothing else) having bought our own linen this was not a problem although at 70 pounds a night it would be nice to have every thing you need. We were both quite pleased with our... More

Both owners and guests are not always perfect and do make mistakes. No one accused you of stealing but we were aware of missing towels that should have been in the room. If the facilities were not as you thought they ought to be you only had to ask, and the error would have been immediately adressed, apology given and... More

We booked the entire b&b over the new year and stayed for a total of 3 nights. The rooms were very clean on entry and cleaned/tidied daily. No problems with the owners. They were friendly and made us very nice sandwiches every day for a reasonable fee. This was good because it was one less thing to worry about in... More

I am surprised at some of the negative reviews about The Denes. I trust TA but it isn't monitored and reviews are not necessarily true. As the owner stated she has no record of some of the unhappy guests and those reviews are at odds with other people's and my experiences. Stayed here in January on a very quick visit... More

My girlfriend noticed this site and came across the Denes, where we stayed a few years back. After reading the other reviews I felt compelled to add my two bits. I have a feeling that the owners dislike young people, as there was an older couple staying as well who they were (somewhat) polite to. With us we may as... More

It is difficult for us to respond to these comments as the alleged stay was over two and a half years ago. However we do not believe these people stayed with us in June 2006 for the following reasons: 1) we have not found a couple from Wales that stayed more than one night in June 2006, 2) nobody in...
