    perfectly cooked steak
    cheese platter

    It was just a prime choice for a trip in Lynmouth with value for price. The steak was cooked to perfection and was possibly the best I've had. Try the cheese platter if you get the chance.

    Perfect getaway with our pup!

    We had such a fun weekend at a cozy cottage just above the hotel! The place was spotless and comfy. The food at the bar was super tasty, and the staff really nailed it with their service. Only thing, it could get a bit noisy at night, but that wasn't a huge deal. a great spot for a quick break!

    relaxing verandah
    cramped bathroom

    Had an amazing weekend getaway! We loved our room with a lovely sea view and enjoyed relaxing on the verandah while sipping a drink. The only downside was the size of the bathroom, which could be a bit cramped, but that didn't overshadow our fantastic stay. 😊

    friendly service
    delightful breakfast
    beautiful sea view
    inconsistent housekeeping

    We enjoyed our visit to Lynmouth, where our grandchild loved the canoeing. The staff made our stay special with friendly service, and the breakfast was delightful—a must-have during our time there. Watching the sunrise over the sea from our room was magical!

    My wife says that the housekeeping could be better for families. One day, our room wasn’t cleaned as well as it could have been, making it less comfortable for our stay.

    Charming stay with helpful staff and great views

    I had a delightful stay with amazing sea views from my room, and the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, especially Maria who made my mom's birthday special. The breakfast was good, offering a range of options which set us up for our day. it would improve the experience to offer more choices for vegan breakfasts.

    during my last visit to lynmouth, i didn't expect the rising sun to exceed my previous experience. the cozy room with a stunning view of the harbor made our stay unforgettable. the staff were friendly and always went the extra mile to ensure our comfort.

    comfortable bed
    lovely sea view
    dated bathroom
    cramped corridors

    I stayed in a standard double room, and it was pretty cozy. The bed was comfortable, and the room was clean with a lovely sea view. The bathroom was decent, too, although it could use a few updates. Loved the character of the old building, though the narrow corridors were a bit cramped. a great spot to relax after exploring Lynmouth.

    fresh seafood
    friendly staff
    cosy pub
    false sea view
    limited breakfast options

    The dining scene at Rising Sun was a delight, especially the seafood—fresh salmon that sent my taste buds soaring! Plus, the friendly staff brightened up the atmosphere, ensuring a memorable stay. And let’s not forget the cosiness of the pub, perfect for winding down after a day exploring Lynmouth.

    Disappointingly, our room didn’t have the promised sea view—it was just a rooftop and bins instead. The breakfast choices felt limited, lacking some variety that could've made it special. And the prices felt a pinch heavy for what we received.

    The Rising Sun offers a charming atmosphere with friendly staff and a delightful view of the harbour. The food is impressive, though the wooden board for the Ploughman's was a bit impractical. a cozy pub with potential, marred slightly by some service quirks.
