The Denes is a licensed 4 Diamond Guest House situated in Lynton, North Devon England. Our Guest House offers bed & breakfast as well as half-board accommodation. Lynton and its twin village Lynmouth are enveloped within the Exmoor National Park and occupy an area of outstanding natural and coastal scenery. Our Lynton hotel itself lies at the entrance to the Valley of Rocks just a step or two from our front door, a taste of which can be seen in the photograph below. Our Lynton accommodation is a prime choice for walkers travelling the SWCP, Two-Moors Way, The Tarka Trail. The Coast Path between Lynton and Porlock was a favourite route of Samuel Coleridge, the poet, and it is said that whilst gazing down on Lynmouth Harbour inspired him to write "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner".
The Devils Cheesewring-Lynton
The
Denes is one of 'Devon's Hidden Places' and you can discover its Edwardian charms
as our previous guests already have. Sally and John extend their warm and
friendly greeting whether you are visiting us for the first time or a returning
guest. The Guest's TV lounge has its own feature fire place. Our bedrooms
are spacious and provide comfortable accommodation with some original
paintings that
tastefully complement the decor. At The Denes we can offer you bed and breakfast
accommodation or half-board for as long or short as you want; whatever your
holiday requires.
The Denes Guesthouse is ideally situated to obtain a real Exmoor experience either by driving across the moors or preferably walking them. And before you leave you must absorb the surreal atmosphere of the Valley of Rocks. Check your itinerary and make sure you have sufficient time to spend here. One night is barely sufficient, two is really a minimum, but how ever long you stay you will always receive our generous hospitality.
