    The walk back up from Lynton could be steep if you struggle walking, but the location adds to the charm. It's not a criticism just a note for those who may need to know.

    The location was stunning, Highcliffe House lives up to its name and the views from the rooms are quite spectacular. We travelled as a family, so we had 2 rooms, the larger one was particularly lovely, but each one has its own particular charm. The common areas are lovely, spotlessly clean and always graced with a beautiful scent. There is a lot of attention to detail and loving care has been put into the decor and arrangement. Richard and Robert "R&R" are the most friendly, warm and accommodating hosts, thank you for the warmth and support you showed us!

    A beautiful view ( up a very steep hill ) and an amazing B&B. Robert and Richard were brilliant hosts and made sure we were comfortable and welcome and we had everything we needed. The bed and linens were so comfortable and luxurious. A fantastic breakfast. We particularly liked having fresh milk available at all times in a fridge next to the breakfast room (sometimes it’s just the little things that make a stay perfect 😃) There is parking on site and a garden patio for sitting with a drink watching the sunset. Very romantic.

    Nothing, the stay was faultless. The roads are tight and steep but that’s the magic of Lynton.

    The breakfast was amazing, views from the rooms were spectacular. The guys who run Highcliffe make you feel special, so kind and helpful. On site parking is a bonus.

    We would have liked a little more flexibility over the breakfast timings . occasionally we felt rushed over the breakfast, which was a shame because the food was so wonderful.

    Fabulous views, room and location. The quality of our breakfast food was fantastic. The breakfast parfait was divine.

    My wife and I had the pleasure of staying at High Cliff House in Lynton during our journey through the stunning landscapes of South England. Without a doubt, this was the most beautiful and inviting place we have ever experienced. From the moment we arrived, we were spellbound by the immaculate decor and cleanliness that greeted us. Our room was an absolute delight - spacious, cozy, and impeccably neat. The interior design and breathtaking views from our window left us in awe. We could not have asked for a more delightful setting to unwind and soak in the picturesque surroundings. What truly sets High Cliff House apart is the warmth and kindness of the owners. They were incredibly friendly and attentive, always ready to assist with anything we needed. We instantly felt at home in their presence, and their genuine hospitality made our stay even more memorable. Regrettably, we couldn't extend our visit as much as we would have liked, as we were captivated by the heavenly breakfast. It was a delight for the senses, and we savored every moment of it. Rest assured, we have already vowed to return to High Cliff House for a longer stay. It's a place that has stolen our hearts, and we cannot wait to relive the enchantment and create more cherished memories. Thank you, High Cliff House, for making our stay an extraordinary one! We wholeheartedly recommend this charming haven to anyone seeking an unforgettable escape amidst nature's beauty and genuine hospitality.

    The location of the B&B is basically very good, however, the B&B is located above the village of Lynton, as well as Lynmouth in a steep slope, whereby it can be very tiring to walk back up after a dinner. However, there are cabs.

    l Everything was perfect, starting with the room, which was lovingly decorated and very clean. The hosts were very friendly. The hosts personally took us to the room, explaining everything. It was perfect. The location of the hotel offers spectacular views.

    We simply adored every minute of our stay in this wonderfully appointed property. From our first greeting to our reluctant goodbyes it offered an oasis of calm and a truly restful and restorative break. The hosts, being seasoned travellers themselves, went above and beyond and clearly understand how to make their guests feel at home. The breakfasts were sublime and the welcome afternoon tea set the tone for a memorable stay in the lovely Devon. We hope to return some day.
