This place is just fine. Don’t judge the entrance by the scaffolding. The owner has lot of personality. The room was beautiful and breakfast was similarly high quality. Lynton and Lynmouth was fun to explore and Exmoor is right next door

I loved the atmosphere of the guest house. It is homely and comfortable whilst being very clean as well. Located in the centre of town it is conveniently situated for absolutely everything and the owners, Maria and Clive, are friendly, welcoming (as are their pets!) and they clearly love the building and the business. Breakfast was plentiful and well made which set us up for the day! I really enjoyed my stay there and look forward to returning.

We've just finished a lovely 6 night stay at St Vincent's, in the lovely Colossus room. The bed was very comfortable and the room was airy, spacious and quiet. Maria and Clive were excellent hosts, anticipating our every need. My wife is dairy intolerant but there was a large choice of non-dairy alternatives as standard, not even needing a special request. We appreciated this as it often feels like an imposition, even in 5 star hotels. The cooked breakfast was excellent. The location was also excellent, being close to the walks, funicular railway and local pubs and restaurants, but also very quiet. We look forward to returning in the future.

What an amazing part of the world. I've always loved the Southwest coast of Australia, but this stretch of coastline is just stunning. We stayed for two nights. Our room was clean, Maria and Clive were very friendly and eager to please. We'd certainly return again. Breakfast was good, not overly greasy for a fry up and sets you up nicely for a days walking. We enjoyed having a coffee in the morning before coming down for breakfast using the ground coffee and press left in our room.

Staff were very friendly and helpful, when they could be found. Room was clean and the bed was comfy and large, however the room was very cold and the radiator did not work. The curtains were also quite old and dirty and so did not close properly.

The owners at the hotel are really freindly and helpful. The room was nicely decorated and it is a lovely georgian building. There were lots toiletries in the room which was nice. The breakfast was great and you were made to feel at home. The hotel is in the centre of lynton and activities are on your door step. I would stay again

Comfy, friendly and convenient
Had a great stay this new year in St Vincent's. Our host Emma was very friendly, welcoming and looked after us during our stay, includinga yummy cooked breakfast. The room and whole building was clean and characterful as well as being conveniently located in the middle of town and close to the footpath down to Lynmouth. If staying in Lynton in future, we'd stay at St Vincent's again!

Warm welcome and a good night's sleep
I was in Lynton for a trail marathon over the weekend. Emma was very hospitable and even got up a little early to get me sorted with porridge and coffee before heading out for the race. My room was cosy, just right for 1 person. I would definitely stay here again if I make my way back to Lynton.
