There is something very special about falling asleep on crisp white sheets listening to the sound of a bumbling river after a day spent exploring the beautiful countryside of North Devon. East Lyn House is the perfect mix of relaxation, homeliness and comfort. With only 8 bedrooms you feel like it is a home away from home. New owners recently took over giving the place a new lease of life and enthusiasm. The eggs at breakfast are second to none. I already cannot wait to come back, see you soon Steve & Lorna”

Just returned from a three night stay at East Lyn House. The new owners Lorna and Steve made us very welcome, nothing was too much trouble. They even provided us with a delicious cream tea to celebrate some birthdays. East Lyn house is in a fabulous location, with beautiful walks directly from the doorstep and a great terrace to sit out on and enjoy the views of the valley and the sea. The breakfasts are excellent and the rooms warm and cosy. We’ll be back!”

Lorna and Steve could not have been better hosts; they made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived and even gave us helpful advice before arrival. So friendly, they really tried so hard to please all the guests that were staying and the quality of the breakfasts can only be described as first rate. Everything was very clean and we could not fault their efforts in any department. Thanks again for a lovely stay; we wouldn't hesitate to book again when we're next in the area."

Excellent bed and breakfast. Lorna and Steve are great hosts, always willing to help and chat, nothing too much trouble. Perfect position on the river, close to village and harbour. Lovely terrace overlooking the river where you are invited to take your own drinks. Rooms were nicely decorated and spotlessly clean. Our room—room 5—had 2 windows with views down the river. Breakfast by Steve was really good—cooked to order. Fresh fruit, croissants, cereals, and fruit juice were available.
