PUB RESTAURANT - BED AND BREAKFAST - STAY - GUEST HOUSE - FISHING - LYNMOUTH HOTEL - PORLOCK

You can sit by the river, enjoy a pint as you watch herons stalk salmon and trout, as well as the odd unfortunate frog. The sound of rushing water over the rocky rapids provides a tranquility to behold. After we have locked up and the guests retired to bed the only sounds you will hear are the peaceful, tinkling waterfalls and the hooting of owls in the woods.

The bed and breakfast pub is ideally situated in stunning countryside where you can take part in many outdoor activities. For equestrians there are stables nearby where you can arrange pony trekking and horse riding trips over the moor. The East Lyn River, famed for its salmon and trout fishing, provides a stunning backdrop for anglers with its dramatic gorges, waterfalls, rapids and pools. Fly fishing is permitted after March 15, however you can use spinners or worm on the river from 15 June till end of season. The biggest salmon caught last year is reputed to be 22 lbs. For walkers there is The Samaritans Way Footpath which connects Bristol and Lynmouth. The path runs along the length of the valley by the river, where you may catch glimpse of deer, kingfisher and otter. The National Trust's Watersmeet House (now a tearoom) is just 1 mile downstream from the pub, and makes for a lovely half-day stroll. We are situated in the middle of the moor but near to Lynton, Malsmead, Dunster, Dulverton, Simonsbath & Exford. We are also close to the seaside towns of Ilfracombe, Wollacombe, Minehead, Porlock and Lynmouth with their restaurants, shops and tea-rooms. Its an interesting drive around the narrow, twisty lanes, up and down the often steep hills whilst dodging the sheep strayed from the moor. The A39 skirts the coast for some 20 miles or so, and sandwiches you between two landcapes .On one side are picturesque views aross the cliffs and The Bristol Channel to South Wales, whilst the other presents a foreboding, bleak and windswept Exmoor.

Parts of the pub date back over 400 years and we have tried to retain the character of a traditional rural pub. To the left is a picture of the lower bar area. Below is our new lounge bar which offers guests the opportunity to relax in peace and quiet. This room is now available for functions such as anniversaries, birthdays and small wedding receptions. We can cater for upto 50 people in this space, which has its own entrance away from the pub.

Here we can also cater for private lunch or dinners or whatever your special occasion.

Whether you are coming to stay with us or booked into the restaurant for lunch or dinner, or simply stopping for a pint there is a warm welcome awaiting.
