Luxurious B&B, wonderful owners.
I honestly cannot fault this hotel. Beautiful views, very tastefully decorated, incredible breakfast and all in a very good location. Jason was extremely helpful, always welcoming and very professional. The room we stayed in was beautiful; recently redecorated in a modern way yet had beautiful antique furniture and a bed that could easily fit four adults. It's very evident that a lot of hard work has gone into the building, and I would genuinely love to go back.

Stunning Location - Great Town
The location cannot be beat. The hosts were informative, caring, friendly and very good in the kitchen. The towns of Lynton and Lynmouth were both wonderful. The views were breathtaking from house. It was a memorable stay and we will be back.

Perfect hotel and hosts
What a stunning hotel, everything about it is perfect. Jason & Neal made us feel so welcome with nothing being too much trouble, they should be very proud of what they have at Highcliffe. The rooms are beautiful and the location is breathtaking. The breakfast was a wonderful selection of local produce and was absolutely delicious. The only downside of our stay is that we didn’t stay long enough!!

Lovely hotel with outstanding views!
We stayed for two nights at the Highcliffe and the rooms, food and welcome were first class. This hotel is beautifully kept. The owners have taken great pride in all its aspects. It perches high on the hill beside Lynton and gives great views all round. We will certainly be going back there again.

Stay was perfect. Only downside was approach to Highcliffe. I didn't receive directions by email and sat nav took us down a VERY narrow lane where we got stuck for an hour and a half not able to open car doors. If it hadn't been for a kindly gentleman passing we would have still been sitting there. Car damaged so it wasn't a good start but holiday turned out to be lovely. Future guests need to make sure they receive an email from proprietors so this doesn't happen again. It was s nightmare!

Stunning views overlooking the town below.
Owners Karen and Mike could not do enough for you. We were offered a traditional Devon Tea on arrival which provided a lovely start to the short break. The view out over Lynmouth and Lynton and the coast from our room was stunning. Be aware these views are because of the location high on a steep road overlooking the town.

Exceptional Hotel.
Could not fault this 6 Bedroom Hotel, I think the best we have stayed in (we have stayed in loads! - by our age, 65). Quality products used everywhere, room, bathroom, dining room (cutlery, dishes and food -best breakfast ever and lots of choice). Always plenty of hot water and heating in room - as it should be (although this isn't always the case in other places we have stayed!), Short of nothing, there was even an honesty bar in fact no issues which meant we had a very comfortable stay.

Lovely B&B. 5 min walk to town centre and with magnificent views. Mike was a Iovely host and his dinner recommendations were on the mark. My only disappointment was that I couldn't stay longer.

Fantastic break
A wonderful stay. The house was spotlessly clean - and I'm very fussy! Our room, like the rest of the house was furnished to a high standard and the views were fantastic - we were in summerhouse. Lots of nice little touches. The breakfast was very good although I missed baked beans (very minor detail). I would highly recommend.

Fantastic room with an equally fantastic view
We stayed Friday to Sunday and had a very enjoyable time. The room was well presented, with a large bed and separate modern en-suite. We were made to feel very welcome and Mike was keen to offer tips and advice on where to go and what to see to make the most of our stay. Large choice of food options for breakfast, which were filling and very fresh. We were sent restaurant suggestions by Mike and Karen before our stay, which was really helpful as the couple that we visited were busy on both nights. Also follow their directions rather than google maps. Would recomend eating in the bar of the Rising Sun in Lynmouth.
