    We have just returned from a two-night stay at Sinai House and what a find, the house is run faultlessly by Alison and Victor. They think of everything including sending you instructions of how to get to the House as the approach roads are steep and narrow. Alison is very friendly and welcoming. The breakfast menu is extensive with something for all tastes and dietary requirements. It is produced with fresh local produce and my wife highly recommends the Fruit Loaf made to Alison’s mums’ recipe. We had Room 4 and the views were exceptional, my wife said that it was the best view she had ever had from her, extremely comfortable, bed I did not know whether to be offended but the view was splendid. We were lucky as the weather allowed us to see the Welsh coastline. They also have a nice guest lounge and they run an honesty bar. Thankfully, we took their advice and booked two evening meals locally before we visited. We witnessed potential patrons to restaurants being informed that there was no capacity. Hope to visit again. Thankyou Alison and Victor for making our stay so pleasurable.

    Sinai house is set on The Lynway which is very narrow and can only be accessed by vehicles at the ends. Sinai is at the town end and entrance by car is aq bit tight but do not be put off by this. In no time at all we were used to it. A very minor issue!

    Sinai house is one of the nicest places I've stayed at. Set overlooking the town of Lynmouth with beautiful views of the sea. Breakfast was excellent with a large choice and plentiful. Victor was proud of his cooking and came to make sure everyone was happy afterwards, a nice gesture. Spotlessly clean throughout, Alison & Victor were perfect hosts. There is a bar for refreshments along with tea and coffee in your room. We loved the octopus bowl! There is a charge point here for EV's too which we used for our car for a very reasonable extra cost per Kw

    Access and parking for a big car a bit tricky, but with the location there is nothing that could be done.

    Breakfast menu and the actual food was excellent. Couldn’t fault it. The porage and fish was delicious. We thought the honesty bar was a brilliant idea and well priced. Just hope nobody will abuse it.

    This is truly a wonderful place to stay, with one of the most comfortable beds I've ever slept in in a hotel! The hosts were very friendly and kind, always offering advice or tips or just happy to have a chat. The breakfast was plentiful and they went out of their way to provide delicious vegan options. They also provided tea and cake on our arrival and there were plenty of books and board games available in the lounge to keep us entertained. Note that the hotel has no lift and is up a steep hill (this is not a negative point as such, as it means the place has great views!), which you should be aware of if you have mobility issues.

    There was no such a thing, they gave what was promised

    My room was exactly like in the pictures, lovely and clean. Alison and Victor are really kind and helpful. The view from the room was wonderful, I saw the rocks and the channel. Probably it's a matter of chance, but I met their quiet and kind people, they held each other in respect, no disturbing behaviour, noise..stc. Now I understand why they got so high rates for the breakfast: they offer wide and really good range of meals - suitable for vegetarians, even vegans too, guests can leave them their choices on a form previous evening. I tried about 4 kind of breakfast and everything was great.

    The bathroom was a little small and the shower not very powerful but that is only because we are used to a power shower at home - but overall it was all good and nothing to complain about

    Breakfast had a large selection and plenty to choose from. Great to have a lounge to sit in with other guests and use the honesty bar - well stocked and good prices. Hosts were friendly and welcoming. Our room had lovely views and the bed was so comfortable. Lovely to hear the owls hooting at night

    Difficult access by car (if you are afraid of going up the very steep narrow lane, park below at Bottom Meadow Car Park and go up the stairs through the garden). On Google Maps, the car park is called Castlehill Car Park!

    Best view ever of the sea right from my bed! Room very small, but very thoughtfully equipped with everything you could want. Excellent breakfast selection. Owners very nice and helpful.

    On arrival we were offered tea and cake, we had the most delicious homemade cake on the veranda. Alison and Victor were such genuinely friendly people it created a very friendly atmosphere, instead of silence & hushed conversations at breakfast everyone was chatty and said good morning. Alison thoughtfully sat us at a different table so we could enjoy a different view at breakfast. The food was excellent, all homemade, fantastic range not just the usual full English, the only problem was deciding what to choose! The bed was so comfortable & the pillows perfect (usually they’re too thin for one and 2 together are too big). We will always chose Sinai House for future trips to Lynton.

    After a 9.5 hr journey, and horrendous hold ups, we arrived at 7.30 pm which was within the check in times. The owner was clearly annoyed that we had not arrived between 3-4, (as apparently we had put this on the form when we booked initially). This clearly was a sore point, and we apologised but felt most unwelcome at the cool reception. Tired and hungry, we then had to find somewhere to eat, and finding all local eateries full, it was not the best start to our holiday. Note to self, always book a restaurant in advance. However, first impressions are paramount to us, and on arrival to Sinai, it could and should have been better. Things thankfully did improve after the initial set back.

    Lots of choice for breakfast and cooked to perfection. Spacious room and fabulous view.
