We did enjoy our stay at this hotel, and as we were there for just one night, it worked well for us.
Good points:
Quaint hotel
Fantastic position in the middle of things
Fabulous views
Friendly restaurant staff
Clean throughout
Spacious restaurant
Lovely quaint front facing room...with sloping floors!
Beautifully tasty evening meal in the restaurant - Fish pie is gorgeous as is the Lamb shank

Bad points:
The 'bar' area is grotty...more like a working men's club atmosphere and the cream teas were disappointing - the plain scones (not offered fruit scones) tasted shop bought and microwaved
Irritating shower that would go quickly from very hot to cold for no reason
The dining room smelled very musty

Firstly let's get perspective, this is a review of a 2 star hotel, if you expect Ritz luxury or Michelin gourmet - read no further. If your looking for a welcoming stay in a spotlessly clean room complimented by attentive staff read on! The hotel is positioned centrally in the small seaside town of Lynmouth. We visited as a party of 9 celebrating a special birthday. Parking spaces are limited but we had no problem during our 2 night stay. Our room was adequately furnished, a little old fashioned, but spotlessly clean. He hotel has a comfortable lounge area, nice dining room and adjoining pub. Evening meals in the dining room were very good, plenty of choice of in the main wholesome traditional food. Breakfast was as you would expect fruit, cereal and juices followed by English or fish cooked breakfasts. Dining room staff were fantastic, and made our weekend on the evening of the birthday celebration. This isn't the smartest hotel, but what it lacks in glitz it compensates with warmth, we would definitely return.

We did not stay at the Bath Hotel whilst in Lynmouth, but dined there a couple of times during our week long holiday.

There is a nice sitting out area with a nice view (shame it is on the side of the road), and on both occasions we were more than satisfied with the menu choice. They cater for vegetarians and have a varied selection of traditional pub grub on offer i.e. baked potatoes, ploughmans, for example. The food was served in large portions and was always piping hot and I would have no hesitation in recommending dining here during the day or evening.

The "welcome" beggered belief - we had to wait about 10 minutes only to be greeted by someone who was thoroughly miserable and uninterested. The room had the basic facilities but everything was dated including an old CR TV. Great nearby pubs and a beautiful location helped mitigate our disappointment. We were surprised to find the shops closing early in the evening and opening late in the morning during the high season. Breakfast was basic and included an anaemic sausage and bacon. Guess what we would not choose to stay here again!
