“An Oasis of Tranquility and Comfort . . . . . Thankyou Helen. . . . we will be back.”
A visit to Lynton and Lynmouth is a must if you want to see beautiful scenery and be free from the everyday stress of todays living.
But `The Icing on the Cake ` has to be the stay at `The Croft ` B & B in Lynton, a house full of charactor furnished in keeping with the home.
We were welcomed by Helen who turned out to be a wonderful host who makes sure you want for nothing and after being shown around we found our room very comfortable with a generous hospitality tray into the bargain. With my wife having serious back problems it was a relief later to find the bed very comfortable for her.
After we had placed our luggage in our room Helen invited us to relax in the lounge and brought in a large pot of tea ( or Coffee ) if preferred complete with what seemed to be homemade biscuits and although busy preparing for further visitors she found time to sit with us and make us feel at home.
I had not been well for the previous couple of days and the following morning although ordering a full breakfast I was unable to face it, our host was very understanding about this and really cares for the comfort of her guests.
The next day I enjoyed a breakfast that sets you up for the day, But just a word of warning `Do` Leave enough room after for a slice of toast and some of Helen`s mothers marmalade.
Helen is a mine of information about places to go and somewhere to eat, one being a local pub she recommended the meal of which we still talk about.
Although it is not possible to park directly outside due to the nature of the area, there is plenty of free parking in the road opposite and in the High Street. In the standard car park there is a small charge during the day but free after six. Unlike my home town I had no fear of parking anywhere, such is the atmosphere of the area.
Helen made you feel part of her home and when we left we felt we had made a new friend.
During our stay she had a very special visitor taking his summer holidays before a very busy time in December,
In the event of you going and you ask, but there is no guarantee she will tell, but he was very satisfied whilst there.
