We stayed at Shelleys for a long weekend and it was very good. Richard and jane make you feel like a friend and are always ready to chat or help with suggestions for walks etc, the room we had with the sea view was spotlessly clean and the bed was really comfy. Breakfast had lots of choice. Could not fault... More

Just returned from a lovely stay in Lynmouth. Shelley's is centrally located literally just a couple of minutes from the harbour, we had a nice room with great sea views. Hosts Jane & Richard are very friendly and helpful with details of places to visit, sights to see and dining out; we dined both nights at lovely Le Bistro immediately... More

'We have stayed at Shelley’s many times and have always had a thoroughly good time. Jane & Richard are the perfect hosts and we will certainly be returning again in the future.” The location is perfect for views of Lynmouth and it is ideally situated for walking and touring around the Exmoor area.

In a few words.... central location, sea views, friendly hosts, spotlessly clean, delicious breakfasts, good price value for money. - what more could you ask for when you are looking for a few days away. We had a lovely time and would recommend Shelley's to anyone looking to stay in Lynton & Lynmouth.

A very well run and maintained establishment. Most rooms have a wonderful view over Lynmouth Bay, yet the hotel is within easy walking distance of the centre of Lynmouth. There is a good guest room on the ground floor with books about the local area. It is unusual for a hotel not to offer evening meals, but I can understand... More

We first came a couple of years ago and promised ourselves we would return. From the moment we arrived we sensed a warm welcome. You are welcomed as friends, hosts Jane & Richard are helpful and know a lot about the entire area, walks, places to eat, sights to see etc.... The decor of Shelley's is tasteful throughout, the sea... More

The slightly old fashion themed but beautifully detailed decor makes this hotel a winner! We stayed in a large comfortably furnished room - exceptionally clean! We had 8 mirrors!!! The breakfast was really good - very well cooked and everything you could wish for. You could hear other people talking but it was very quiet during the night and we... More

Lovely, polite, welcoming, friendly hosts Great homemade breakfast overlooking village/bay. Room had a lovely warm conservatory with amazing views. Hotel is in a good location, in the middle of Lynmouth, everything within walking distance. Unfortunately the walls and ceilings are very thin and therefore very noisy. Smallest TV we've ever seen. Too soft bed. The shower had great pressure but... More
