Rising Sun Hotel - A 14th-century harbourside inn with sea views, seasonal dining, and proximity to Exmoor National Park

Sitting on Lynmouth's harbourside, Rising Sun Hotel offers views of steep cliffs and Lynmouth Bay, with Exmoor National Park nearby. The 14th-century thatched inn features rooms with ensuite bathrooms, sea views, and original wood-beamed details. Some accommodations, like Shelley's Cottage, include private terraces and sitting rooms. The restaurant serves locally sourced seafood, including Lynmouth Bay lobster and Porlock Bay oysters, alongside a selection of real ales and wines. Guests can access a nearby seaside sauna, open to both visitors and the public. The hotel is 2 km from the Valley of Rocks and within walking distance of the Lynton and Lynmouth Cliff Railway. Breakfast options include grilled kippers and a full English.

Pros

The harbourside location provides direct views of Lynmouth Bay and Exmoor National Park.

The restaurant emphasizes fresh, locally sourced seafood and seasonal specials.

Proximity to outdoor activities, including coastal walks and water sports.

Unique historic features, including original wood beams and 14th-century architecture.

Some rooms offer private terraces or gardens with sea views.

Cons

Limited parking options due to the harbourside location.

No on-site spa or fitness facilities beyond the nearby sauna.

“The inn's historic character and harbourside location are wonderful assets, especially if you secure a room with sea views and a roll-top bath; the restaurant is also a standout, with high-quality seafood. Staff are welcoming, and the overall atmosphere makes for memorable stays. I recommend it without hesitation.”
