Fodor's Expert Review Shelley's Hotel

8 Watersmeet Rd., Lynmouth, Devon, EX35 6EP, England

Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.

Centrally located, this well-maintained hotel has bright and spacious rooms with generous windows and excellent views. Hearty breakfasts are served in the conservatory, and the service is genial and efficient. Poet Percy Bysshe Shelley is said to have stayed here during his honeymoon—and apparently left without paying the bill (he later mailed £20 of the £30 owed).

PROS

  • harbor views from most rooms
  • great breakfasts
  • hospitable owners

CONS

  • some rooms overlook public car park
  • no restaurant
