    Fantastic B&B This was our third visit, and we're still delighted! The breakfasts are incredibly tasty, and the owners are very kind and friendly. We will definitely be back here next year - our stay was so good that we can't wait for another one! I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for an excellent weekend getaway.

    Noisy fridge, no place for charging phone close to bed, had to unplug the click to charge my phone.

    Nothing.

    Chris and Lesley were the perfect hosts, friendly and very knowledgeable about the area. The Denes is the perfect location if you want to walk the Valley of the Rocks. The guest house is clean and has everything you need for a getaway. The breakfast was great and the best poached eggs ever. We would definitely go back again if we were in the area.

    In keeping with the town of Lynton. Ideal location to set off for walking. Very clean and in a quiet area. Small fridge in room large enough to accommodate 250ml of fresh milk(provided by by Chris & Lesley) non of the cheap little plastic cartons.

    There wasn't a thing that we didn't like, all excellent.

    The breakfast was superb lots of choice and cooked to perfection. The room was beauftul and even had a little fridge to store the milk for our tea & Coffee that was in the room, along with delicious biscuits. The hosts where very kind with a vast knowledge of the area that they shared with us.

    I cannot think of a single thing. Seriously, it was perfect.

    Where do I even begin? This place is WONDERFUL! The owners, to start with, are so welcoming and kind. The house itself is gorgeous, it feels like you've gone into someone's actual house...and you have! The dining room is gorgeous, the view on the garden is such a delight. The room itself dropped our mouths wide open...we had just come from a tiny dingy London apartment and into this spacious, tastefully decorated and light room. We absolutely oooo'd and aaahhh'd over every detail from the teacups to the bed in the corner for my daughter to the bench in the window with the view on the street. Perfection!! Then we went into the bathroom and about fell over...it was also stunning! So spacious and well stocked. The adorable plants and decorations and even the toilet paper had cute puppy patterns on it (my daughter pointed that part out!) Anyway, as you can tell, we were smitten. Did NOT want to leave. In addition to how beautiful and perfect everything was, the breakfast was outstanding and my gluten allergy was more than accommodated for. We also loved playing games in the dining room in the evening and I haven't even mentioned the cat yet and my review is so long. But Uggie is adorable and kept to herself and was a thrill for my daughter to see every time she came in through her little door in the hallway. The location couldn't be better, a literal stone's throw from Valley of the Rocks and a short 5 minute walk or less to any of the shops down the street in town. Don't miss the Cliff Train when you visit and go down and visit Lynmouth as well. I would absolutely return and hope to some day as this is a treasure of a bed and breakfast.

    Our only adverse comment is that the room was smaller than we anticipated with limited space to sit in comfort.

    Chris and Lesley model hosts. Very welcoming and attentive to our every need. Room was spotlessly clean.The property is nestled towards the end of a very quiet lane and perfectly situated for exploring the N. Devon coast.
