"I would have loved to loved this place. The staff are lovely and attentive despite being busy: it’s just a food that has room to improve. The meat eaters may have better luck am pescatarian so limited to prawns and vegetarian husband… well, I can see he would have enjoyed a more substantial portions and options after a day of walking. And packaged salad leaves or bread rolls… I know we are in the country side… but please..little details like this are : … I suppose it’s “traditional Spanish tapas”.. but lack of vegetarian options even manchego cheese for protein.. anything) in the with considerable vegetarian population) UK is a shame…am sure a little creativity in this aspect would make this place superb. I suppose in Lynton the idea is that there’s enough travellers to fill the tables anyway… but it would be nice."

"I popped in for a pint having spent the day at the Classic Car Show. I asked if I could pay with a £20 note, knowing that some pubs don’t take cash anymore. What I got in reply from presumably the Landlord/manager, was sarcastic comments about how “we’ve never seen a £20 note in the West Country before” (I’m from Ilfracombe, half an hours drive away. With his thick cockney accent, I wonder what part of the West Country he’s from?! He then short changed me and joked about putting the pound in the tips jar. He might have been ‘showing off’ to a couple of locals sat at the bar but having worked in hospitality myself, his attitude stank! There is a reason his pub was empty on what should have been the busiest day of the year for him. Don’t bother, there are far more welcoming pubs down the hill in Lynmouth."

"Can't give info on staying here only on foot and ails plus disabled access great they've got a ramp portable. But there are issues with access to toilet and 2 set's steps plus 1 small step which was very annoying but doable. Access to toilet is one big step down so be prepared. Alis are brilliant food okay but mash is packet powder I'm no expert. Hotel highlights: Romantic"

"The Ancient Mariner is a charming pub/restaurant located right on the harbor in Lynmouth. It features a spacious and inviting entrance, with plenty of seating available both indoors and outdoors, including a lovely deck that overlooks the harbor. The drink selection is diverse, and the food menu looks promising. I visited on a Wednesday morning when it was quite empty, but the bar staff greeted me warmly and promptly took my coffee order. It was served quickly and was delicious. The restaurant is quite large, with various seating options and cozy nooks. The decor is appealing, adorned with plenty of memorabilia to explore. I wish I had stayed for a meal, as the menu looked very enticing."
