One of the best B&Bs in Devon and the South West.
We're proud to have been recognised and awarded as one of the best Bed and Breakfast in the Devon, and the entire South West. These awards and reviews are important because they tell us we're doing something right. Something that ensures our guests will have a special and memorable stay with us in Lynton & Lynmouth.
We love providing a friendly, inviting house where our guests feel relaxed and at home. It's even more perfect when our guests feel like they can enjoy breakfast in their slippers or snuggle up in the lounge reading a book. That's our kind of bed and breakfast.

This Victorian house is tastefully decorated and furnished to the highest standards throughout, whilst keeping to period style. Everywhere was spotlessly clean and at no stage did we feel that Covid restrictions compromised our five night stay. Jason and Neil are lovely hosts (although we saw a lot more of Jason as he is more front of house) and the whole atmosphere is relaxed and very friendly. The attention to detail means that you want for nothing (including little rubber wedges to stop the original window frames from rattling in high winds). The breakfasts were delicious and offered plenty of choice. All-in-all a faultless experience at this beautiful house. More read less

Such a beautiful house with breathtaking views. We were treated to a cream tea on our arrival which was unexpected but lovely. We stayed in the Myrtleberry Room, Which is beautifully decorated with a super comfortable super king bed and you could never tire of the beautiful views from the balcony. Both our evening meal and breakfast were delicious. Jason is a great host and nothing is too much trouble. read less

The room was exceptionally clean with every comfort one could need and more. The huge carved bed was very comfortable and all the additional bathroom commodities were top brands. views from the bedroom window could not be beat.. From the minute you enter the front you can see the high standards of furniture, light fittings, seating areas and the views from the dining room over the bay was superb. Nothing was too much to ask from Jason and Neil whoa are excellent hosts, with superb knowledge of the local area. I challenge anyone to find a better place in North Devon. 10 out of 10.

Jason & Neal are exceptional hosts who have thought through every detail to ensure all guests have a special stay. We loved being able to have a drink in the lounge when returning to the house and just truly relax. We woke up to the most spectacular views over Lynton & Lynmouth each morning after sleeping like babies. Breakfast was excellent in terms of choice, quality and execution. There is literally nothing to fault at Highcliffe House and we are already planning to return in 2021. read less

Our room on the top floor was large with superb views over the town to the Bristol channel and the Welsh Coast. We had a 6ft wide doube bed! Nothing was too much trouble for the two owners. We didn't see much of Neal as he was in the kitchen preparing delicious breakfasts and light evening meals for guests who didn't want to go out in the evening. but Jason was 'front of house' and very helpful with suggesting suitable walks. They made a excellent team. Everything was immaculate and spotless. There were only six guest rooms in use, in order that the diningtables were well spaced out. More read less

Susanne17/09/20The perfect B and B in lovely surroundings Jason and Neal are the owners/perfect hosts, who give their guests the utmost attention. Nothing is too much trouble! Their relaxing home is beautifully furnished. The delicious food is artistically presented. Highcliffe House is a wonderful place to stay.

We stayed for three nights, a very welcome break in the current situation. We had no hesitation in booking with Jason and Neal, as we knew that all precautions would definitely be in place.
Again we received a warm welcome and we felt very much at home.
All was scrupulously clean, and although they have had to put all their beautiful throws and cushions away for the time being, our room was immaculate. We stayed in Countisbury, a large room with wonderful views of the sea and Countisbury Head.
On a clear day you can see right across to Wales.
The breakfast menu remains one of the best and always served with a smile.
Nothing is too much trouble and they will always help if they can!
Always love coming back here, even if they are situated at the top of a very steep hill!
Thank you both for letting us share your wonderful home, if only for a couple of days! More read lesssuemD8128HZ12/09/20Beautifully calm... Such a lovely stay with the two proprietors here. It was the perfect end to our week in Lynton.
