“Very friendly and well located hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 November 2011

person found this review helpful

We stayed here as a suprise from for our anniversary in August and had a very enjoyable time. The guest house is well situated in Lynton only a short walk to the cliff railway into Lynmouth and in the other direction to valley of the rocks. The owners were very friendly and helpful without being overbearing. The breakfasts were lovely and various options were available and they helped my partner make bookings for dinner with great recommendations before we got there. The rooms were clean and comfortable with everything you needed. It's well worth a trip to saunton and porlock if you down that way as well as the beautiful lynton and lynmouth.

“What a smashing place.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 June 2011

We enjoyed our stay at the Denes Guest House very much. The atmosphere was very friendly, and Sally and John were the best possible hosts. Very helpful. The room was immaculate and your every need had been accounted for. When we go back to Lynton, we will definately book here again. Made our holiday great.

“Everything perfect”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 November 2010

We stayed here for two nights, perfect place to start your trips into Exmoore. The owners were very friendly and helpful, especially when we planed our walking activities. By the way, the nature around this place is just wonderful! Thanks again. This B&B is our recommendation without a second thought!

“Landlady accused us of stealing”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 August 2010
1
person found this review helpful

This B&B is clean enough with the traditional decor you would expect from a basic B&B. Clean rooms, TV, towels (very small hand towels and nothing else) having bought our own linen this was not a problem although at 70 pounds a night it would be nice to have every thing you need. We were both quite pleased with our stay up until leaving in the morning. We literally walked out the door put our bags in the car and pulled out the car park when the landlady chased us down the road shouting, once we had stopped and she had caught up she proceeded to lean into the car screeching at us that we had stolen her towels and demands them back now. The fact is, we were never given towels and being accused of stealing when me or my partner have never stolen anything in our lives has left a nasty taste in our mouths as you can imagine. Im sure there are plenty of other B&Bs in this area with more welcoming staff.

Both owners and guests are not always perfect and do make mistakes. No one accused you of stealing but we were aware of missing towels that should have been in the room.

If the facilities were not as you thought they ought to be you only had to ask, and the error would have been immediately adressed, apology given and no embarrasment on either side.

When we stay in other establishments and find things not quite as we expected then we always ask.

Its always better to sort these matters out at the time. It would appear from your other scores that your visit was otherwise highly satisfactory.

“Nice bed and breakfast”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 January 2010

We booked the entire b&b over the new year and stayed for a total of 3 nights. The rooms were very clean on entry and cleaned/tidied daily. No problems with the owners. They were friendly and made us very nice sandwiches every day for a reasonable fee. This was good because it was one less thing to worry about in preparation for our long walks. The heating was kept at the usual times and no issues with hot water.
