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.

We started our weekend break in Devon in the countryside hoping for a quiet weekend when this was shattered we packed up and headed for Lynton, not knowing what to expect, it was just a place on our map. We Went to Tourist Board and ended up with Helen at Croft House.
We could not have picked a better place, Helen , the owner is wonderful, full of fantastic advice plenty of places to visit and tips on where to eat etc. Our room was light, spotless and everything we wanted, especially quiet!
The breakfast would keep you going all day, plenty of choice! Helen was always on hand with a smile and anything you needed she would ensure you had..if possible!

Would be happy to return to this beautiful and quaint part of Devon and wouldn't hesitate to return to Croft house and recommend to other travellers.

Helen you were great !

The minute you arrive at the Croft House Helen greets you and offers you a cup of tea or drink and makes you feel immediately "at home". The hotel is full of beautiful pictures and things to look at. The Garden is small but beautiful. Soothing music plays in the background and it's easy to relax and leave the stresses of life at the door.

Our room was beautiful with comfortable beds. It was spotlessly clean with small touches that make all the difference. Nothing is too much trouble for Helen who does all she can to ensure you have a great stay. Helen takes time to help you plan your activities and will write out routes to ensure you can explore the stunning area without getting lost.

Our cooked breakfast was lovely with endless pots of tea and toast, lovely homemade jams and all made with local fresh produce. Everything is relaxed at Croft House. You can saunter around the beautiful old town, enjoy the stunning Valley of the Rocks. Everyone in Lynton is so friendly and welcoming. There are plenty of places to eat and drink and so much to see.

If you want a proper break and to relax and enjoy quaint old England, Croft House is THE place to go in North Devon. Truly Special.

Visited Lynton for a couple of days with a friend. Chose to stay at Croft House again, after having stayed stayed here a few years ago. It is a small, cosy B+B in the heart of the village, within easy walking distance from shops, cafes and the most stunning coastline this country has to offer. Old, quirky ex -sea captain's house.Perfect place to get away from it all. Helen made us feel very welcome. Tea and buiscuits on arrival in the lounge. Room (Richmond Green) was lovely and clean with the most comfortable beds. Flat screen TV and DVD player. We slept so well we nearly overslept our arranged breakfast time at 9 am. Very good value for money. Will definitely come back again.
