Rock House Hotel Guest House
Rock House Hotel Guest House descritpion
Standing alone at the entrance to Lynmouth’s stunning harbor, this picturesque 18th-century building houses accommodations with superb views of the sea, the river or the Lyn Valley.
With a unique waterside location, the Rock House is situated in Lynmouth, one of North Devon's most picturesque villages. Lynmouth lies at the mouth of the Lyn River, with Exmoor and the town of Lynton towering above. The village is surrounded by the stunning scenery and the natural beauty of the Exmoor National Park. In Victorian times, Lynton and Lynmouth were fondly known as Little Switzerland.
The Rock House makes a great base from which to explore the region’s great walks; along the rugged North Devon coastal path; through woodlands alongside the Lyn River or across the rolling moorlands of Lorna Doone country.
Free private parking is possible on site.
Every room has a private bathroom and central heating. Each room has a TV, a hairdryer, an alarm clock and tea/coffee making facilities. All of the rooms are attractive and furnished to a high standard. Some rooms have four-poster beds.
All rooms have superb views of the sea, the river or the Lyn Valley.
The candlelit harbor-side restaurant has wonderful views of the sea and offers intimate dining, complemented by a selection of fine wines.
The fully licensed bar overlooks the hotel’s picturesque garden, where lunches or cream teas can be enjoyed in fine weather.

Reviews for Rock House Hotel Guest House
Review 1：The terrible drunkeness of the owner! He was drunk on reception! said we could come round to the reception and get our own keys when we want them on our return from going out, felt rather uneasy at the thought of our own door key being that exposed to other guests. He was so drunk in the evening he fell on the floor and the barman and my partner had to get him home. Awful!
Review 2：We loved the location, the hotel was really lovely and comfortable. Our room was really nice, four poster very comfy bed with views towards the sea, stunning!
Review 3：The parking bays are a little too cramped for turning radius but we managed.
Review 4：I love the location and its setting. Wonderfully unique in more ways than one. Nice and friendly people managing it and very accommodating (we went down for breakfast a little later after the hour was up). I would love to be back here again in Room 4. Great place to be.
Review 5：Nothing really, breakfast room was a bit cramped on the first day but, as it was literally on the water with amazing views, it really didn't mayter
Review 6：Great location, really friendly staff and great food
Review 7：All the staff were very polite and helpful, without being 'over the top'. I ate breakfast and dinner on both days and couldn't fault the choice, food or service. Dinner and the room rate were very good value. Superb location - right on the beach and not even a couple of minutes' walk from the centre of Lynmouth, affording easy access to the National Park. It would be perfectly possible to enjoy a full week here without moving your car once.
Review 8：Not very clean & basic breakfast which was appalling. Staff often unavailable and slightly rude on one occasion regarding checkout. Wrong room due to 'overbooking'. Tight & limited parking.
Review 9：Good location.
Review 10：As we were on the ground floor near the bar/toilet are ,was a bit noisy later in the evening !Bit of a lottery for car parking space if we were last ones back .
Review 11：Excellent evening meal ,although menu same each night.
Review 12：on arrival we were given a warm welcome by the young man on reception, as we were early our room was not ready, he got us a drink from the bar, letting us know when the room was ready and showed us to it. The room was spotless and comfortable , breakfast was freshly cooked to order and we found all the staff to be very friendly and helpful
Review 13：Only stayed the one night, wish we booked longer

Review 15：Food not served for long enough
Review 16：We were made to feel very welcome. The whole stay was perfect and comfortable with great food and hospitality second to none
Review 17：Parking on Site quite tight a bit more space would be good. Some areas looked a bit tired and would benefit from some redecorations.A larger selection on the evening menu would be nice if staying more than three nights.

Review 20：Hotel is probably in the best spot in Lynmouth with absolutely stunning views of harbour and sea from bedroom windows
Review 21：Everything! They have got it so right! Can't think of a single thing that was a negative experience. Some of the well known branded hotels could learn a lot from them...
