We ate here and although the food wasn't gourmet it was cheap, cheerful and served with a smile. The dining room is bright and comfortable so probably a better place to eat than the bar area which could do with a good clean. If you are struggling to find something simple and pretty traditional pub fare give it a try.

The pub attached to the hotel is tremendous little traditional bar. The staff are incredibly friendly, polite, and happy. The food is first class and the drinks prices very reasonable indeed. We didn't stay in the hotel, but visited the pub four or five times across the week we stayed in Lynton. Absolutely recommemded.

What a gem! We went there for two meals and it was absolutely fabulous. We were served by Caroline, who was great and she made our meal that much more memorable by her banter and quick wit. We thought she was a real treasure

We had a fabulous long weekend here back in early May. Very comfortable spacious room, large en-suite, (4-Poster bed !). The staff were helpful and friendly. Parking onsite is limited, but we did get a space. Just the best location, right in the heart of everything. Lovely pub right downstairs ! Food was great, breakfast was amazing, set us up for the whole day ! Would defiantly recommend staying here !

Food was brilliant and great value. Filling and loads of options for vegetarians which was very welcome! Staff friendly and looked after us well. Nestled away in Lynton, very warm and welcoming. Don't be put off if you've booked a table for food as visitors...when you walk in you'll think you've made a mistake as it's a small bar area mostly filled with locals. The tables and eating area is at the back and it's really nice. A good proper English pub. Highly recommend for food if visiting.

Although we were staying at a nearby hotel on a half-board basis they had very few guests there most nights so they refunded our dinner charge and booked us into the Crown Hotel restaurant. …
