“romantic birthday getaway”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 November 2011
4
people found this review helpful

We had a lovely couple of nights at Shelley's for our romantic birthday getaway. The hotel is in a perfect location in the village centre overlookiing the bay. Our room was tastefully decorated with breathtaking sea views, and was more than clean and the cooked to order breakfasts were just excellent. Hosts Jane & Richard were amiable and always available to give you a lot of advise and information for what you can see and where to eat. We chose to eat at the Harbourside Restaurant one evening and visited Lynton Cinema the other. Shelley's is very reasonably priced and good value, thoroughly recommended for a short getaway break.

“what an enjoyable experience!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 November 2011
2
people found this review helpful

Jane & Richard couldn't do enough for us, from the moment we walked through the door, to the time we were going home, what an enjoyable experience!
Shelley's was very comfortable, spotlessly clean, with good quality furnishings.
Location was perfect, being a couple of minutes level walk to the small harbour and seafront.
The reviews for breakfasts are well deserved - freshly cooked to order a particularly favourite of ours was the scrambled egg and smoked salmon!
Their recommendations of places to eat were excellent as well, Le Bistro, Rising Sun and Rock House.
We would recommend Shelley's to anyone wishing a relaxing stay in beautiful surroundings.

Room Tip: We stayed in a room with it's own private conservatory and balcony - superb sea views

“relaxing”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 November 2011

people found this review helpful

The seaviews were fantastic over Lynmouth Bay, the room was really lovely.
We stayed here recently in a conservatory room with a balcony, it was warm for the time of year and very sunny. The room itself was large and nicely furnished, the bed was a kingsize double and incredibly comfortable.
The hotel is lovely and delightfully decorated in keeping with the period the hotel was built.
Jane & Richard were perfect hosts and very knowledgable.
Breakfast was very good - there was a fantastic choice to suit all tastes.
Shelley's is to be recommended and represents very good value for money indeed.

Room Tip: fantastic sea views

“Deserves the execellent reviews”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 November 2011

people found this review helpful

We've been taking short breaks on Exmoor for many years now but never have we stayed in such a lovely place as Shelley's in Lynmouth.
Our bedroom was spotlessly clean, spacious, comfortable with sea views to die for.
Hosts Jane & Richard were very friendly and helpful, nothing was to much trouble; breakfast was superb, all freshly prepared with a good choice of cereals, yoghurts and cooked options including of course the full english!
We came away feeling relaxed and like we had made new friends.
Overall a very pleasant and relaxed stay, we will definately will be returning.

Room Tip: Conservatory Balcony Room although almost all the rooms have superb sea views

“Absolutely delightful”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 November 2011

people found this review helpful

Late booking - a 3 night stay in October at Shelley's booked direct from their website.
Our room was spotlessly clean, fresh and bright with beautiful sea views.
Ideal location central to everything.
Splendid breakfasts.
Jane & Richard are welcoming hosts.
More than we could have hoped we would not hesitate to recommend this hotel.
Absolutely delightful and good value.
