Superb food, setting and views, public rooms and terrace. Large bedroom.
Poky bathroom and shower with scarcely room to dry yourself.
Idiosyncratic furnishing of bedroom - chest of drawers in front of radiator, small tv in front of wall mirror
Bed OK but not as comfortable as most hotels are these days
Very steep walk to & from village (though this is Lynton)

Fabulous views, room and location. The quality of our breakfast food was fantastic. The breakfast parfait was divine.
We would have liked a little more flexibility over the breakfast timings . occasionally we felt rushed over the breakfast, which was a shame because the food was so wonderful.

My wife and I had the pleasure of staying at High Cliff House in Lynton during our journey through the stunning landscapes of South England. Without a doubt, this was the most beautiful and inviting place we have ever experienced. From the moment we arrived, we were spellbound by the immaculate decor and cleanliness that greeted us.
Our room was an absolute delight - spacious, cozy, and impeccably neat. The interior design and breathtaking views from our window left us in awe. We could not have asked for a more delightful setting to unwind and soak in the picturesque surroundings.
What truly sets High Cliff House apart is the warmth and kindness of the owners. They were incredibly friendly and attentive, always ready to assist with anything we needed. We instantly felt at home in their presence, and their genuine hospitality made our stay even more memorable.
Regrettably, we couldn't extend our visit as much as we would have liked, as we were captivated by the heavenly breakfast. It was a delight for the senses, and we savored every moment of it.
Rest assured, we have already vowed to return to High Cliff House for a longer stay. It's a place that has stolen our hearts, and we cannot wait to relive the enchantment and create more cherished memories.
Thank you, High Cliff House, for making our stay an extraordinary one! We wholeheartedly recommend this charming haven to anyone seeking an unforgettable escape amidst nature's beauty and genuine hospitality.

l Everything was perfect, starting with the room, which was lovingly decorated and very clean. The hosts were very friendly.
The hosts personally took us to the room, explaining everything. It was perfect.
The location of the hotel offers spectacular views.
The location of the B&B is basically very good, however, the B&B is located above the village of Lynton, as well as Lynmouth in a steep slope, whereby it can be very tiring to walk back up after a dinner. However, there are cabs.

We simply adored every minute of our stay in this wonderfully appointed property. From our first greeting to our reluctant goodbyes it offered an oasis of calm and a truly restful and restorative break. The hosts, being seasoned travellers themselves, went above and beyond and clearly understand how to make their guests feel at home. The breakfasts were sublime and the welcome afternoon tea set the tone for a memorable stay in the lovely Devon. We hope to return some day.

This excellent accommodation was the finishing highlight of our 2 week round trip in Cornwall. I am always very involved in the selection of accommodation and have travelled to many countries and experienced a wide variety of accommodation through many years of employment with major international airlines. When I came across the highcliffehouse on the internet, it was very clear that I had to go there. In the end, I planned my entire trip accordingly. The property alone is very majestic, towering over the city and the bay. On arrival, we were immediately greeted in a very friendly manner by Richard and invited to tea and biscuits in one of the very appealing rooms. A pleasant scent hovers in the house, which I also find important and inviting. The furniture is very tastefully chosen, the many paintings are also stunning. Our room left nothing to be desired. The bed was very comfortable, the bed linen fantastic, as was the towelling. Additional amenities were the charging possibilities for mobile devices, the very detailed information on restaurants, excursions, etc. which can be found on the tablet provided and also the possibility to prepare coffee or tea in the room. A lovely ending to our two evenings after a restaurant visit was a pleasant glass of wine either in the drawing room or the bar. I would also like to praise the first-class breakfast served to us by Robert. There is definitely something for any taste. The quality and presentation of the food is outstanding. The atmosphere is relaxed and you really do enjoy your stay. Richard and Robert are exceptionally accommodating hosts. We would like to take this opportunity to thank them once again, give them our wholehearted recommendation and wish them all the best until we meet again. xxxooo Andrea

Everything was spotlessly clean in this beautiful B&B, sitting on top of the world. Breakfast was delish and allowed for customization of breakfast for folks with allergens (wonderful GF pancakes and crumpets). Their gin bar was a really fun addition. Highcliffe is perfectly located amongst Lynton and Lynmouth. You can easily walk into town or take the charming water-powered tram between the two towns. Robert and Richard were stunning hosts are were readily available all times of the day from directions into town to local recommendations. Cheers!
The drive up/parking was a little cumbersome, but I would do it all again to stay in such a beautiful place.
