Shelleys Hotel

The owner managers are charming and endlessly helpful to their guests, and all in all it would be difficult to find any fault with Shelleys.
Shelleys has been refurbished to a very high standard, with comfortable beds, lots of hot water in the shower, and expensive soft furnishings, but the atmosphere is relaxed and informal.
There is an very comfortable lounge and an honesty bar, and if all you feel like doing is relaxing with a book and a glass of wine, its there for you.
Overlooking the bay and harbour in Lynmouth, at the foot of the Glen Lyn Gorge, this hotel is ideally situated to take advantage of everything the area has to offer.
The area is riddled with stunning coastal walks and scenic footpaths, and there are breathtaking views at every turn in the road.

Shelley’s is a wonderful small hotel, very comfortable and very smartly decorated with a touch of something special, a lovely looking hotel in the heart of Lynmouth overlooking the bay.
The hotel rooms are delightful, comfortable kingsize beds, sea views and some have delightful private conservatories.
Breakfast was a real treat in itself, a wide choice all freshly cooked to order, no having to pre-order the night before.
The Exmoor coastline is stunning, it stirs the imagination, the contour of the dramatic cliffs, deep wooded valleys with tumbling streams and empty moors all make for a wonderful for a relaxing break.
We would recommend booking Shelley's Exmoor Breaks offer which was very good value for money.
So if you want to treat yourself, like previous reviewers Shelley’s gets my vote, it has to be the best in Lynton & Lynmouth.

We stayed at Shelley's in August for 3 nights as part of our 2 week touring holiday driving around the Devon & Cornwall, it was fabulous. Our hosts Jane & Richard made us feel very welcome, were knowledgeable about the area, and gave us good advice on where to dine.
Shelley's has to be one of the best locations in Lynmouth with it's superb sea views from the breakfast room and nearly all of the bedrooms, the view across Lynmouth Bay from our conservatory balcony room was really lovely.
Shelley's is decorated to a very high standard indeed, spotlessly clean, well presented and very tastefully furnished throughout.
The freshly cooked to order breakfasts are just wonderful with a great choice of quality produce from a really excellent full breakfast to scrambled egg with smoked salmon, kedgeree, kippers, and waffles served with maple syrup.
For a relaxing, peaceful, perfect holiday break, then Lynmouth is the place to go to get away from it all and enjoy the absolutely magnificent coast and countryside of Exmoor National Park.
Overall we all wish we could have stayed longer and we will definitely come back again for a longer stay. After a fortnight on the road around the South West this was by far the best hotel, altogether a wonderful stay!

Altogether a wonderful stay.
Excellent warm welcome, assistance with bags and helpful advice.
Fantastic location with sea & valley views.
Well appointed lounge and dining room, both with lovely views.
Superb breakfast with a large choice of food for personal menu selection each day, so you are able to choose as much or as little as you like.
Many lovely touches, the bedroom well presented and furnished.
Recommend unreservedly.

We had three lovely days at Shelleys, a few years ago we stopped at Shelleys for a couple nights and always promised ourselves that we would return.
Shelley’s is lovely with really great standards in a very informal way but Jane & Richard are always on hand if you need any help.
Large, comfortable beds with good quality furnishings and a few really nice touches and attention to detail that gave a feeling of luxury and breakfast really is as good as previous reviews say, hearty with plenty of choice.
The best rooms are the conservatory balcony rooms, it was a fabulous place to sit and take in the splendid views. The extra we paid was fully justified, the rate was very fair and their Exmoor Breaks offer is excellent value.
Location is as central as you could wish for and Lynmouth makes a great base from which to explore Exmoor National Park, whats more there are lots of places to eat in the evening to suit all pockets.
Shelley's is very highly-recommended and having spent too many long hours in airport lounges we will definitely be returning next year.
