Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

A nice way to while away an hour is to pop into this museum in the Old Village area of Lynton and housed in Lynton's oldest surviving dwelling.
This small local history museum has collections of agricultural & domestic tools, a cottage kitchen with large stone fireplace, bread oven and pots & pans. There is also some information about local maritime and railway history and pictures of the Lynmouth Flood.

Plenty to see in this quaint, eccentric little museum. I spent a good hour or more totally absorbed by the many fascinating exhibits and relics of village life.
I was particularly taken by the folders of ephemera relating to the flood disaster of 1952 and would love to have spent hours poring over them as they revealed such a rich vein of social history.
I enjoyed meeting and talking about Lynton with the friendly volunteer manning the front desk.

What an amazing little museum located in an old cottage and packed with artefacts. Despite the size, (it as quite small) we spent an hour in there, so much to look at including the haunted room! Well worth visiting.

What an excellent find. Well worth the visit, especially the room with "the ghost" all the rooms (although small) contain so much information you just lose yourself in the past. My husband was very interested in the Blacksmith room, as his Grandfather was a Blacksmith. Make sure you visit!!

The Lyn and Exmoor Museum is a quaint museum in the town's oldest surviving domestic dwelling, a whitewashed stone cottage – with its own ghost! There are seven rooms, including a traditional kitchen, and it is crammed with models, photos, farm implements, toys, fossils, maritime and railway memorabilia, information about the Lynmouth Flood and so much more. It is only open from Easter to the end of October on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, but it is well worth a visit.

Nice small museum, stuffed full of all sorts of oddities and curios. It perhaps wouldn't be particularly engaging to families with younger children, but worth going to for a quick visit
