South View Guest House

Penny and Drew were very hospitable. The breakfasts were perfectly cooked. The Fernery room we stayed in was beautiful. Lovey bed and breakfast. Highly recommended. The accommodation is in the heart of Lynmouth close to lots of restaurants and an ideal location for the South West coast path.

Great location for Valley of rocks and Watersmeet walks. Excellent accommodation with everything we required plus little extras . Breakfast was exceptional. Hosts are great, helpful and knowledgeable. Advised to book evening meals which we were pleased with.

Just spent another 4 nights in this amazing guest house. Penny and Drew are such lovely hosts, with great knowledge of the surrounding areas and further afield. great choice of breakfast, lovely rooms and comfy beds. What's not to love. Cant wait to go back.

We stayed at South View for one night. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left, Drew and Penny made us feel welcome and at ease. It almost felt like visiting a friend's house. Great advice on local walks and eateries (and on bathroom renovations!). Local shops, restaurants and the Lynmouth Cliff Railway are all in easy walking distance and the Valley of Rocks can be reached on foot in about half an hour or an hour depending on the route you take with plenty of other walking routes to explore from the guest house without needing to get in the car . We enjoyed cheerful conversations over breakfast that never were intrusive. Talking of breakfast: the pre-order system is a good idea and the food more than lived up to what it said on the pre-order form. Everything was beautifully presented. The eggs were egg-cellent. The fruit salad was put together carefully using a variety of different fresh fruit - so tasty and really outstanding. Our room and bathroom were spotlessly clean. The bed was very comfortable. Little special details included a variety of different teas and other hot drinks to choose from in the room alongside two roomy mugs, some oat milk and long-life milk mini-cartons (fresh milk is available on request). We found a parking space directly outside. It may be difficult to park near the premises during busy holiday times but there are spaces available behind the property and you can ring Drew to ask to reserve a space. There is no lift but the stairs are easily negotiable. The property is beautifully refurbished to a high standard (hence the tips on bathroom renovations Drew, who is a former carpenter, could give us). The care that Drew and Penny invest in their work and in the atmosphere around the business is obvious and they clearly love what they do: to give their guests the best holiday experience possible.

Walking stop over This accomodation was beyond excellent. from the ease of booking to the comfort of bedroom facilities through to the excellent breakfast. Drew was a fantastic host.

Highly recommended. Thoroughly enjoyable stay. Delicious breakfast. Very comfortable bed. Drew & Penny were very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended. We hope to return next year.
