The Rising Sun

This is a lovely, cosy, charming and welcoming pub/hotel in a prime location right in the harbour - with a strong sense of history too which they have thankfully retained while adding modern touches.

The staff were all very helpful and friendly, the vibe was very relaxed and the food was delicious! We had the Sunday roast on our first evening - it was a very generous portion and great quality too. The second evening we really enjoyed the fish & chip supper - so fresh and tasty.

Our room was warm and comfortable with a view of the harbour, which was delightful.

We did a great deal of walking the coast path when we stayed, and it was a joy to then come back to this lovely hotel for a welcome drink and a good meal.

We highly recommend The Rising Sun.

Fabulous seafront location in a very pretty part of Devon. The staff are very welcoming and helpful. Breakfast very good and has a great selection, we ate in the restaurant on both nights of our stay and again very good, the food was beautifully presented and the menu had a good and varied choice. We will definitely return.

Only small gripes, the stairs to the rooms are very steep and narrow - if you had reduced mobility they may cause a problem. We travelled with our 2 dogs and felt the £15 charge per dog per night was a tad excessive.

My partner and I had an amazing weekend stay at the Rising Sun Hotel. Our room was beautiful and cozy and there’s an incredible sense of history in the hotel as you walk through the corridors filled with wooden beams. A perfect location - the hotel is right next to the beach and we could see surfers from our window! The service was great, on our first night we received a warm welcome and were offered dinner, even though we arrived very late at night and the kitchen was closed at this point. I could not recommend the Rising Sun Hotel enough, we hope to be back soon! 😊

Beautiful location, clean comfortable room. Lovely friendly pub, great breakfast. The only thing I would mention is that the evening meal vegetarian options, although delicious were quite expensive for what they were. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here.

A stunningly well located Inn right on the waterfront of a pretty little town in a very scenic part of the Exmoor coastline. It’s a charming, historic building and the rooms all had a lovely view. Very comfortable, well appointed, spotlessly clean and excellent house keeping. Definitely want to return.

Stayed in Shelley’s cottage for a winter break. It’s gorgeous: cosy, thatched cottage at the top of a very short steep hill next to the pub with glorious sea views. Lovely big bedroom and bathroom, spotlessly clean and warm. Pub suppers are great: chef is excellent. Not cheap but lovely. Service v friendly, pub has a good atmosphere given its the quiet season.

Walking on exmoor is wonderful and Lynmouth is a great base.

Cottage also dog friendly: our 2 loved it there!

Very cute and unique hotel. We had an old room with uneven floors but we loved it, it was also very clean. The window view was amazing.

Great breakfast option, except no fresh fruits and fresh juice. Coffee was really bad.

We had drinks in the pub and later dinner. We had a seafood platter for £30 and was overpriced for what you get. However the steak and fish were extremely delicious. It was the best fish fillet I ever had, with potatoes, kale and clams.

Most of the stuff was amazing, super friendly and helpful.
