Had a great stay in the Seawood Hotel. The hotel is very 'boutique' with lots of little interesting features. The breakfasts were done to a really high standard and served with matching tea sets which was a nice touch. We stayed in a superior room which was very spacious and well equipped with a great view out to the bay. Possibly the best feature of the hotel is the terrace which looks out across the bay. We spent every evening out there having a drink and it was a great way to unwind. The hotel has a path directly to the top station of the Cliff railway giving easy access to Lynton and Lynmouth

Laura and Peter, very friendly. Excellent breakfast. The bedroom was very hot, this was quickly resolved when made Laura aware. Exceptional view from terrace, which unfortunately is in need of some maintenance. When we initially made reservation, there was an oppertunity to book an evening meal,received an update no longer available,which was a disappointment. Expensive for Bed and breakfast.

Accomodating and generally excellent. Due to the current climate we were the only guests (2 rooms) but we never felt pushed upon and were left to our own devices as much as we needed. Bed was (without any exaggeration) the comfiest I have ever slept in!!

Mandy and Thomas were very welcoming and spirited hosts and set us on a lovely walk. We stayed in the Ragged Jack room, deciding to spend a lot more than we usually would for a bit of luxury but the room itself didnt feel very luxurious. This was surprising because the reviews online were so positive. The room did have a superking bed and a great view however. It is a special setting high up and the birdsong was lovely. The owners are absent and unfortunately this shows in the general feel of the place. It feels a bit neglected and that corners have been cut by way of recent furnishings and

The Seawood Boutique Hotel is outstanding in every single way. Martin, Kyle and team are the most attentive hosts ever and make you feel special, relaxed and at home from the moment you arrive. The rooms are gorgeous with great facilities including a full sky package. The food is superb. This place is definitely worth a visit; you won't be disappointed! They are even dog friendly!
