“Lovely B&B with very accommodating hosts”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 August 2010

We recently visited Lynton and Lynmouth with our two young children, it was a rather last minute decision to stay there and we found it difficult to find somewhere with a family room available. We knocked on the door of River Lyn View and they were very very helpful and offered us a double room with the option of putting in a couple of air beds in for our youngsters. What a great idea! The owners were very friendly and accommodating and the room was very clean. The attention to detail and all the added touches made for a very comfortable stay. We had a lovely view over the river Lyn and it took only a couple of minutes to wonder down into the main part of the town. Would highly recommend, and especially to any families with young children as it made our stay more affordable and we were able to extend our visit. Lynmouth is beautiful! Delicious breakfast and thank you Carol for our crab bait!

“Owners couldn't have been more helpful ...”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 July 2009

I stayed at River Lyn View for one night, while on a walking holiday with my sister. We arrived feeling quite exhausted after walking from Porlock, and were made very welcome by the owners. Our room was very comfortable, and quiet.
There was a wide range of options for breakfast, all cooked fresh to order, and the service was great. When we left, the owner very kindly drove us to the start of the Coast Path, to save us waiting half an hour for the railway to open.
I would recommend River Lyn View to anyone looking for a quiet and friendly B&B, just a few minutes stroll from the centre of Lynmouth.

“Considerate hosts”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 June 2008

Excellent B&B. What stood out was the small considerate touches the proprietors had added to increase comfort. For examples, teapots in the rooms (not just cups), fresh milk, biscuits for the dog. Very good value for money. Highly recommended.

“Well kept room and excellent breakfast”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 August 2007

I stayed there with a friend for one night in July and in spite of the dreadful weather the atmosphere of the place and the warm welcome of the owners made us feel comfortable. Perhaps their gorgeous full English breakfast has something to do with this too !
On top a large plate with fresh and tin tomatoes, mushrooms, egg, bacon, worcester saussage and baked beans all of which were nicely cooked and good quality, you could help yourself to a large variety of cereals, orange and grapefruit juices, yoghurts, toasts and jams... I'm sure anyone could eat his fill !
£26 pppn for a twin room (07/2007)

“Fantastic Value For Money”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 May 2007

We have just come back from Lynmouth in Devon. The weather was awful but the B&B was fantastic and brilliant value for money. The room was lovely and comfortable with pretty views of the river. The shower room was immaculate and looked new. The breakfast was enormous and excellent and kept us full till the afternoon. The whole place was so clean but cosy. The owners were really friendly and helpful without being obtrusive and nothing was too much trouble. We had a motorbike and were made quite welcome as were walkers and people with well behaved dogs. A dryer was available for drying wet clothes. We were able to park outside but people with cars had to use the local carpark nearby but a permit was available quite cheaply from the B&B.
Lynton and adjoining Lynmouth both worth a visit and we would thoroughly recommend this B&B.

  • Liked — Clean and Friendly
  • Disliked — Patterned carpets!
