We stayed for two nights in the superior room with sea view. Simply amazing! Staff was friendly and the location is very convenient. We really enjoyed our stay in Lynton in a hotel full of charm like the Valley of Rocks!

Great location but needs some TLC

Great location on the hills above Lynmouth, but definitely in need of some TLC. Friendly check-in, but were advised that the kitchen was closed so no breakfast was available. There was a great view from the first floor room, which was in need of redecoration and generally brightening up, with scuffs on the walls and peeling paint in the bathroom (which was bigger than usual and with a decent shower) There were a few parking spaces available behind the hotel (£5 per day)

Great value stay in Lynton

Offering excellent value for money this hotel right in the middle of Lynton and perfect for a weekend away. Its Victorian features hark back to it's time as a premium hotel and today it is adequate for a stay in the beautiful part of the country. The bed was comfortable and room and bathroom clean.

Worst hotel I’ve ever stayed at

Not sure it should even be called a hotel, it’s more how I’d imagine a squat would be like.

Beautiful location

The Valley is a lovely building and the furnishings are very nice . The staff are very friendly and accommodating . We have stayed before and will be staying again. It is excellent value for money.

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely hot bath ideal after walking coastal path. In the centre of the town with all amenities, plus coast path and cliff railway. Very good value. Basic but clean and comfortable with everything you need in the room. Excellent service from Rachel at Reception who was friendly and helpful and recommended a brilliant place to eat.

Great location

The location of the hotel was perfect for walking to the Valley of the Rocks and the coastal path. We had a room only but that suited us and the service was friendly and helpful.

Hostel not Hotel

This does not qualify as a hotel. It is a hostel. All you get is a room. There is no food no bar no service. The lift doesn't work and according to reviews it hasn't been working for at least a month but we were not advised of this in advance. Room was pleasant and bed comfy but it was extremely expensive for just a room. Website advertised breakfast, snacks, a bar and a lift none of which were available. Greatly misleading.

The hotel staff are helpful and welcoming. It is well positioned in the centre of Lynton within walking distance of shops, bars and restaurants and beautiful walks. The hotel has a faded glory and is quirky and interesting. We enjoyed our stay and the rooms were warm with comfortable beds.

Huge comfy bed with clean sheets, lots of pillows and lovely warm room with sea view, just needs a bit of love with the decor!
Debbie, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

I love the Valley of Rocks! It's quirky, friendly, unique. PLEASE don't come here expecting posh hotel luxury. You'll be disappointed. No bar, no breakfast. On the evening I arrived there was no hot water (it was kind of fixed - warm water, anyway - the following day); the lift wasn't working; a broken sash cord in my bedroom window meant it didn't open. It's clearly, as a hotel, hanging on by its fingernails. So why do I like it?? Because it's one-of-a-kind - vast, faded Victorian grandeur, with fantastic views of the sea from its large and increasingly overgrown gardens. (Make sure to ask for a room with a garden / sea view.) And where else can you get a hotel in such a gorgeous spot for less than £50 a night... I fear that it's only a matter of time before it gets gutted and converted into million pound apartments for rich a-holes. Don't let that happen! Come and stay at the Valley of Rocks!

Business accommodation sing room April 5th 2025

Car parking, limited and no space for me! Restricted parking close by. On booking in there was no bar facilities or dining! They do give you clise by resteraunts list. Bed comfortable, basic facilities in the room, good working shower and toilet, clean but in need of decorating and carpets in my single room.
Robert, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Good position but very basic.

Very surprised how basic it was. A real struggle to get luggage from car park (paid extra) into hotel. No back door, had to walk down main road dodging traffic. Rooms not tidied or cleaned during stay, bins not emptied. Nice sea view from room though and a very good position for walking. Just very basic.

Valley of the Rocks

Staff were friendly & helpful, but the room was horrible. Carpet had numerous stains or marks, the bed should have been thrown out as one side sloped away to the edge & it was difficult to stay in the bed. Restaurant was not operating, perhaps due to time of year? Most hotels we have stayed in do offer a breakfast of some sort, nothing at all here. Good location in centre of town.
