I have visited Lynmouth and stayed in many of the Guest Houses in the town. BONNICOTT is the best of them all. Fantastic hosts where nothing was too much trouble and the most comfortable of rooms with fantastic views. …

We enjoyed a brilliant 3 night stay at Bonnicott. We had dinner at the hotel on our first evening, cooked by Sarah, which was delicious, as were the breakfasts! …

Excellent service. A lovely lady serves breakfast to all tables with perfect timing. And dinner at the restaurant is probably the best restaurant in Lynmouth. One of the best Seafood platter I've ever had, can't be fresher than that. The room has everything you need and have a nice seaview. Highly recommended.

We had a short break at Bonnicott House and it was very pleasant. We had dinner one evening which was really good and value for money. Access is a bit on the steep side but the well tended garden offers excellent views. Lynmouth it's self is a quirky but interesting place to visit.

Despite using Pay and Display at a cost of £10 from 10:00 to 18:00. I think the hotel also offers a £16 4 day permit. A short uphill walk to the hotel. …

Have visited the bonnicott hotel for several years now, we have stayed in various bed and breakfast places in lynmouth but the bonnicott is our go to place. Sarah and Cathryn can't do enough to make your stay feel home from home. Rooms are welcoming and beds are comfortable. There are several pubs in lynmouth where you can eat but have to say evening meals at the bonnicott are second to none with plenty of choice to suit everyone. Just returned home from our stay and can't wait to return next year.

Very friendly and helpful staff, one lovely lady serves all tables, but serves in perfect timing and is very knowledgeable. All meals are delicious, but you need to preorder the meal when you book a table. Breakfast has various choices from full English breakfast to light meal. The room is very clean and the view from the room is great seaview. Deco is old traditional English style. Parking is in front of the hotel, it's not free but you can get 4 days free pass in Lynmouth and Lynton area £15 in cash (as of May 2024). Also you can park for 2 hours on a road for free.
