Captains House

Well what can I say that already hasn’t been said. The previous comments are all true. On arriving we had the hard sell of the cream teas, we ordered one and my husband and I had cake each and tea, that was £25, there was no menu or prices so he can charge what he likes. The cake was lovely and a big slice but a slice of cake and tea £8 really!!! It’s such a shame because it’s a wonderful setting in the garden by the river.

Awful place with a pretty garden (the only good thing). Bullied into having cream teas, which we were charged waaay over the odds for (cash, upfront, no prices or receipt). The cream was off and the scones crumbled to pieces (stale). Old chap rude and odd. Wish we’d followed our instinct and gone elsewhere. Don’t make the same mistake as us!!

Having just visited avoid at all cost|We popped in for a drink and cream tea, no prices a very rude man appeared took our order and demanded we paid up front cash only.|The scones were warm but that is the only positive, they tasted artificial and we're very small. The coffee was cheap instant coffee put into a coffee pot, undrinkable. £15.00 for something that was inedible.|Someone asked for a cold drink and was offered ,,,lemonade with a quip about liking "to keep things simple" All this served by a very pushy man and chains across the door.

AVOID |We spotted this lovely tea rooms in Lynmouth….thats where the ‘lovely’ ends. Walked into the tea garden (empty) to be greeted by a seemingly pleasant man. He asked if we wanted cream tea, I said Yes but just one, my partner just a tea, he was quite pushy with trying to sell us more. We couldn’t stay outside because of wasps so took chain off the door to go inside, he wasn’t happy but took us to a table. This man became quite abrupt & rude when we asked for the toilets as we had been walking for some time…he said none there, only in guests rooms, we would have to go across to public toilets nr the church…too far to go & come back. Shocking not to have toilets available, then we were asked for £11. 50!! (cash only payable immediately before we had barely sat down !) for what was a laughable version of a cream tea!! A flat, very strange tasting bun, cream also odd tasting, I couldn’t eat any of it. And we really needed the Loo. 🤦‍♀️ We walked out. This place needs looking into, as why would it be cash only if it’s a hotel!!

Lovely friendly place next to the river. Plenty of parking facilities just over the bridge which is approx five minute walk. The room itself is spacious enough although for some may be a little dated. Bed is comfortable with a lovely duvet and pillows. Only downside was the curtains which are not blackout so do let in too much light for me but heyho I still had a reasonable night sleep To get to the room we stayed in, we had to walk up a spiral staircase which for some people, this could be a struggle as the steps have been assembled quite tightly due to space so make the steps on the small side, there is obviously a handrail so coming down side ways helps. Breakfast was continental consisting of fruit, cereal, yoghurt ( which was exceptionally tasty) toast etc. An English breakfast was offered at an additional cost but we preferred this option. All in all a lovely place to stay with friendly welcoming hosts who were on hand to offer advise and assistance should you need it.

Fantastic place for cream tea! Beautiful garden and amazing views. The owner was very welcoming — we had a laugh about us wanting cream coffee instead of tea. Would definitely recommend and come back next time we're here!

Where do i start . We booked 1 night with our dog through air b and b . When we got there I've never experienced such a terrible rude reception from a host . When we got there he was aggressive from the start and said the dog was not welcome and not in the booking . Air b and b clearly states pets allowed , I produced evidence of the booking and he still tried to charge us more money for tour dog that we had already booked for !! It's not so much the money its just the way he speaks to people angry and aggressive !!! Hotel : rooms very dated . Free parking advertised and there isnt!!! Full English advertised and said ( its just continental and it will be in the garden on the table !!!!!. Terrible place avoid at all costs ruined the weekend !!

Booked a couple and dog on Air B and B and added our dog which was an option. No prompt to check with hotel but having read reviews where people had booked dogs and turned up to find they were no expecting the dog we emailed. We also asked about parking but got no reply. Turned up to an unfriendly welcome and all knowledgeable of dog denied tried to charge us an extra £20!! I wanted to leave at this point because I just felt scammed and unwelcome but he refused to refund us. Eventually when we produced the email he ‘kindly’ and very grudgingly removed the extra for the dog but continued to mutter that we should have checked their own specific website as well as booking through air B and B . Rooms clean but very dated, stated balcony on booking but no where to sit. Would definitely not recommend unfriendly and rude

This is a pretty little bed and breakfast owned by a funny (that's 'Ha! Ha!') couple who take great pride in this lovely old-fashioned place. We sat in their sunny garden, surrounded by colourful blooms and all had cream teas. The tea is drunk from traditional tea-sets from 1930's. The tea is good, the scones are wonderful and not dry. No fruit in them (I don't think they belong) and the clotted cream comes from a local farm. It is delicious. We weren't as impressed with the jam but we delighted in the whole experience. We are looking forward to coming again next year, if not sooner!
