Always a worry when you book a new hotel, just on price alone and you wonder what to expect. Well my partner and I stayed 3 nights over the Spring Bank Holiday at this small hotel (only 5 bedrooms I believe) and we could not have been made more welcome by the hosts Paul and Penny. Paul's cooked breakfasts were... More

Just returned from 3 night stay at the Waterloo. Both Penny and Paul were great hosts and very attentive. Breakfast was excellent and we were given lots of helpful advise about where to visit. Local area is beautiful with lots of great walks. We had a wonderful time and would highly recommend.

A great base to tour the local area. Near to a convienient car park and all the amenities in town. Very welcoming hosts who worked hard provide for our every need. The room was neat and warm. A good breakfast and plenty of tips where to visit. We'd recommend walking to watersmeet up a scenic valley, the coast path either... More

We stayed here for the Easter break with a groupon voucher. With the voucher it was very good value. Penny 'the owner' was very friendly and gave us some great tips on where to visit. The surrounding area is stunning and her tips were invaluable especially given we weren't familiar with North Devon.

We spent an extended weekend at Waterloo House, and were nicely welcomed by Penny: a most pleasant hostess who shared her own tips and advice on the area. However, our room was very basic and unreasonably cold. With only a tiny radiator right by the door, the room rarely got above 15 degrees. Luckily we brought our own sleeping bags... More

An interesting review given the fact that the guest was refused a reduction on the invoice because they made a mistake in understanding the terms of their booking. When you book online the cost and terms can be quite different then when booking direct. Unfortunately vindictive lashing out is the resort of the those not willing to accept responsibility for...

Well-located for some of the best walking in the West Country, we stayed at Waterloo House for three days and found it to be an ideal base. Penny's welcoming pot of tea on arrival, served in the attractive lounge, was much appreciated and my delightful four-poster room was very comfortable. An excellent breakfast set us up for the day -... More

My partner and I have just returned from two nights at Waterloo House, having purchased a Groupon voucher for the visit back in October.

We're just back from a short break to Lynton, where we stayed at Waterloo House. Well I must say we couldn't have had a warmer welcome from both Penny and Paul.
