Property info

Always book directly on our website for the best prices available The North Cliff Hotel, standing in its own grounds, has some of the finest views of the North Devon coastline. It is in a peaceful position some 500 feet above sea level on the well known North Walk, which also forms part of The South West Coast Path, overlooking Lynmouth Bay with its stunning headland, the beautiful Watersmeet Valley, and is just a 200 metre walk to Lynton. We have free parking, 11 bedrooms and a beautiful self catering penthouse with 2 king size beds, all en-suite and boasting stunning sea views. We can accommodate large walking groups, children are very welcome, as are dogs (extra charges apply). We have a designated drying room, provide free Wi-Fi throughout and offer safe gun storage. Local activities include riding, tennis, mini golf, clay pigeon shooting or enjoy a film in the town cinema. We are ideally situated for exploring the beautiful coastline, Exmoor National Park, and the remarkable Valley of the Rocks is just a mile walk away. The famous Cliff Railway linking Lynton and Lynmouth passes within a few feet of the hotel, it is the world’s highest and steepest completely water powered railway which can be easily accessed via the hotel’s stepped garden and just 10 minutes drive away is Woody Bay Railway Station. After a day spent exploring, enjoy a drink from our well stocked bar. There is plentiful seating overlooking the bay, where you can enjoy your drink whilst taking in the magnificent sea and coastal views. Alternatively why not relax with a drink in the lounge, which has a welcoming log fire in the colder months. We welcome guests to borrow a novel, play a board game, or enjoy a card game or two.
