“Beautiful Longmeade House”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 December 2011
2
people found this review helpful

We toured the South of Britan this summer for three weeks and of all the B&Bs we stayed at Caroline and Alan´s definitely was the most memorable! It´s ideally situated both to explore the beautiful county of Devon. You can start directly off the house for hikes on the coastal path or a stroll to the twin town of Lynton and Lynmouth. But most of all we immediately felt at home at Longmead House due to the lovely hosts, what with Alan helping us to find a parking spot even before we had the chance to ring the bell and Caroline treating us to a cup of tea in their lovely garden to recover from the journey. Even though our room was not very big it was nicely decorated and equipped with everything you could thing of to make travelling more comfortable: from anti-allergen bedding to coasters for the bedside tables.. Every day we were served a wonderful English breakfast too, that even catered for our vegetarian wishes perfectly. You couldn´t wish for more considerate hosts and we´ll make sure to spend some more days at their place next time we visit England!

“Home from Home”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 November 2011

We have been to Lynton for 2 weekend breaks in 2011 and have only just remembered to place a review. We have stayed in some very expensive and plush hotels over the years and none come close to the homely feel you get at Longmead House. Alan and Caroline are excellent hosts and make you very welcome on arrival. They are also excellent at recommending where to eat and dine. The rooms are very cosy and clean. Breakfast is superb. A perfect location to explore Lynton, Lynmouth and surrounding area. Unbelievable value for money and we look forward to returning in 2012!

“welcoming and friendly”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 November 2011
1
person found this review helpful

The owners were very welcoming and friendly and as suggested by other reviewers the B&B is in a great location for local walks. We stayed in a room on the second floor and we were very impressed by the cleanliness, the quality of the bedding, the little touches in the room and the attention to detail. Everything on the tea tray was replenished throughout our stay, including the bottles of water and even the biscuits were great quality.

As bed and breakfasts go, this is one of the best we have stayed in and it inspired me to buy some egyptian cotton bedding and good quality pillows myself!

Room Tip: The stairs to the second floor are very steep

“stress free short break”

Home from home, stress free break. Caroline & Alan's hospitality is second to none. Ideal location for walking or just chilling out. Lynton & Lynmouth is an excellent place to wander around and relax. Alan's cooking is excellent with varied menu. Excellent value. Will return again. I have no hesitation in recommending this to friends and others.

Room Tip: Tell Caroline what you require and she will try to accommodate you. If not she will recommend other...
