    If we have to mention anything, there was scaffolding outside the window, which slightly marred the view of the garden, but it's unlikely to be a permanent feature.

    Everything in the property was spotlessly clean and our room was peaceful and quiet. We were greeted with a Devon scone, jam and cream on arrival - an unexpected treat! The breakfast was just beautiful. We couldn't fault this place and would definitely come back.

    The only thing that could have been better was the weather, but that is Britain for you and we are used to a bit of rain. Still had a great time.

    Loved the welcome as soon as we entered, and were surprised by the scones and cream in our room. Jane was a wonderful hostess and supplied our every need, making us feel at home from home. We'll come again.

    Lovely and welcoming stay at Sandrock Hotel

    Everything. On arrival, a plaque welcomed us by name. Nice personal touch. We were welcomed and shown to our room by the owner. She asked if we would like dinner in their restaurant and we initially said we'd probably go down into Lynmouth or into Lynton itself to look at eating. But we thought again and did eat in the hotel and we were glad that we did. The food was lovely. The room was spacious and spotlessly clean with a generous tea/coffee hospitality tray. Shower was excellent. Bed very comfortable and we felt totally at home. We walked after tea on the upper coast circular path of the "Valley of Rocks" (there are several path options) and this upper one took us literally to the high cliff edges and then weaving back into central Lynton itself. The views were incredible!! There were actually goats wandering round and they didn't approach us, but we were able if we wished to go very close to them for photos. Such an unexpected thing. That walk took about an hour. and was stunning. The next morning we had a terrific breakfast (lovely selection of fresh fruit / cereals / croissants and an English too). After that a walk into Lynton (15 minutes or less to the heart) and then down to Lynmouth on the famous Funicular. That in itself is a wonderful thing. About 500 feet high (we think) and great fun for all the family. We stayed two nights as part of a tour around Devon & Cornwall and in our opinion, "Sandrock" was lovely. Such friendly people as owners. We couldn't have felt more welcome. Definitely one to return to next time we're in the North Devon region for us. As a closing comment, the "Valley of Rocks" is a huge draw and when you see it, you'll know why. A longer walk (we did) on our final morning taking a different path resulted in over 100 photos of this magnificent natural landmark. You can take hours to walk it if you like or do shorter versions.
