I take issue with LisaChilltlehampton in a very recent contribution to Trip Advisor and the disparaging remarks about Shelley’s. So you didn’t like the siting of the building! Surely attitude of host, quality of food (albeit it breakfast), service, comfort, access, etc, matter, and is what Trip Advisor is about. My wife and I spent one night in Shelley’s (2... more

Second hotel in Lynmouth in two days and third top three rated B & B 's on Trip Advisor including Cracowdays in Krakow makes you feel like Judith Chalmers! Shelleys, voted No1 on Tripadvisor and rightly so having probed the No2 and sampled the delight of both over two days, so whats the difference: Pro's Shelleys transports you back to... more

I am usually someone who does not sleep well the first night away from home... so this must be a first! Slept like a log both nights! Great hospitality, good food, fantastic situation, close to a large choice of local restaurants for evening meals and a very clean and comfortable room. I had no problem with the shower, but the... more

Shelleys hotel (more B&B) as no other meals were served! This hotel is in the worst possible position in Lynmouth. It is at a cross roads in front of a coach parking area and double decker buses pulling in and out all day. The noise of the day trippers arriving, the constant smell of diesel is off putting and right... more

We made a last minute decision to stay in Lynmouth for a night and started to look around for hotels. We had stayed in Lynmouth in a couple of places before, but decided to give Shelley's a try. It will be our hotel of choice from now on. As soon as we stepped through the door until we left, the... more

We have stayed in several B&B's in Lynmouth over the years but this one is our definate favourite now...top accomodation, top breakfast, top service...I can't fault it. I booked one nights B&B in Shelley's 'twin' room and we were over the moon with it, the room was gorgeous, the bed was so comfortable, she shower was lovely and the breakfast... more

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. Across the road is the start of a walk in the Watersmeet Valley, following the river as it tumbles through mossy glades and sun dappled woods. The area is riddled... more

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... more
