The owners were really nice people, obliging and friendly and were very happy to let us into our room a couple of hours before the official time. We will be going back again at some time in the future.

A delightful walking break.
A lovely base for a walking break. Fab coastline to explore alongside river walks too. The hosts were delightful, as was the new puppy! A first class breakfast ensured a great start to each day.

Our stay at Lorna Doone House was was absolutely delightful. Our friendly hosts, Russell & Nicky Perry made us very welcome and comfortable. Breakfasts were excellent with an excellent choice from the menu! The guest house is very well located in a delightful spot beside the East Lyn river just a few minutes' walk from the centre of Lynmouth. We we would recommend it highly to others

A pleasant stay in North Devon
We had a very enjoyable stay. The room was good sized and clean. The breakfast was very good although we would have preferred more choice outside the cooked breakfast options. Our hosts wee welcoming and polite. It would have been useful to have more details on th eweb-site about the evening meal offer, eg timings,cost and sample menu.

Overall a nice place
Overall it was a pleasant stay. The only issues we had were: not happy about leaving our car keys in our room in case the car had to be moved. Due to not enough adequate parking spaces. We hired the room to expect it to be private, we opted for no freshen up due to our privacy and yet they still came into our room to leave the breakfast menu. Breakfast was incorrect even though we opted for choices. We’re told to leave the black pudding on the side if we didn’t like it. As caterers the customer is always right. To have the waitress/wife serving food bare footed was inappropriate too.

An excellent B&B with fantastic views.
This by far has been the best B&B I have ever stayed in. I cannot fault it in anyway. The room was of a very high standard and so clean. The couple that run it are friendly and offer you a warm welcome.

All good things...
Russell & Nicky have welcomed us before. You know how it is in the guest book "We will be sure to return!" and then never do. Well we did & were not disappointed. Everything manifested as well as it could, from the weather, to the food, to the company, to the location to the... You go there & fill in the gaps for yourselves. Great place to stay - "We will be sure to return!" No. Seriously, we will!

Lovely place to stay
We only stayed for one night but received a very warm welcome from our hosts, Nicky and Russell. The breakfast was very good and the four poster room we had was spotlessly clean and nicely furnished and decorated. We would definitely choose to stay there again.

Lovely accommodation in a picturesque setting
Exceptionally clean property, free parking on site is a godsend, and location was 10/10. 2 things I would note would be: the breakfast is at 8:30am so we found we lost valuable sunlight waiting for breakfast to start instead of beginning our hikes at first light, so we didn't bother on the second day. Would be nice to have an early breakfast option (for example a pre-prepared sandwich or access to cereal, fruit and milk) for those of us who like an early start. Having said that the breakfast was good on the morning we had it, and they did cater to us with dairy free milk and veggie sausages. Secondly, you can really hear the river during the night. For me this was actually a positive, as I like a bit of white noise, but I imagine for some people it may not be as relaxing. I'm sure you could ask for a room at the back though. We would definitely stay here again if in the area, but make other breakfast arrangements.

We have stayed here a few times now and it’s always great. The owners are so friendly and helpful and nothing is too much trouble. Breakfast was good and the rooms are clean. Great location for exploring Exmoor. We bought our 2 dogs and they are very dog friendly which we loved as that’s hard to find. Very reasonable rates too.

Delightful stay
Beautiful location and a delightful stay. Well appointed rooms and substantial and well presented and cooked breakfast. Spotlessly clean with a fresh and newly decorated feeling throughout. Hosts were very friendly and helpful and we look forward to visiting again soon and hopefully for longer than the two nights on this occasion.

Great B&B
Great B&B, friendly owners, good breakfast, clean, good shower, really nice view and sound of the river. Given the age of the building and nice original features, whilst not uber-luxury, Lorna Doone House is very good value for money. Useful that they have parking although we chose not to use it (you can buy 4 and 7 day passes for North Devon car parks).

Best in the area by far
I absolutely loved it. The Bedroom with the en suit was faultless. It was very large & spotless. I parked my car on the drive with another 5 cars & if anyone needed to get out you can just leave your keys in the room & Russel “the b&b owner” will shift it for you. Both Nicky & Russel were very helpful & friendly. The location was absolutely dreamy. I loved seeing the river as soon as I wake up & could hear it while falling asleep. So relaxing. My family stayed in 2 other B&B’s and they were nowhere near as nice as ours at Lorna Doone House. Plus most places don’t have parking & you have to pay and keep moving the car. It was great that I had nothing to worry about. I’d definitely stay here again & nowhere else if I return to the area. I’m so grateful. Thank you both for making our experience so lovely.
