Bed and Breakfast Description

Shelley's is an award winning hotel which commands spectacular breath taking sea views across Lynmouth Bay. The hotel itself has been sympathetically refurbished to create a warm, friendly and welcoming ambience.

We have lovingly restored it to a very high standard throughout while under our personal supervision it has developed its own unique character, elegance and style that comes only from attention to detail and precise service.

You are our valued guest and our aim is to make your stay with us, a truly memorable time.

For that special occasion or just to spoil yourselves, why not order Champagne & Chocolates in your room on arrival ~ just £34.95.

Our eleven bedrooms, ten king-size doubles and one twin-bedded are all en-suite with spectacular sea views across Lynmouth Bay and St. John's Church.

All rooms have colour television, direct dial telephone, hairdryer, wake-up call service, tea & coffee etc..., in fact all of the facilities that you would naturally come to expect.

Local Attractions

Lynmouth is a village at the confluence of the East & West Lyn rivers, it is much more picturesque than Lynton in the true sense of that word.

The quay and pier were built in the 18th century for the herring fishery, which was once important, and a machicolated tower at the end added early in the 19th century by General Rawdon in imitation of the towers on the Rhine.

For centuries local fishermen brought big catches of herring into the harbour, until suddenly in 1797 the fish deserted the coast leaving the impoverished fishermen to turn to smuggling to supplement their incomes.

Whitewashed cottages and shops backed by the dramatic hills and valleys of Exmoor meet the rugged coastline forming the highest sea cliffs in England. It’s spectacular beauty inspired famous literary figures such as Wordsworth, Coleridge and Blackmore. Percy Bysshe Shelley, the 19C English Romantic Poet honeymooned there during the summer of 1812 at Mrs Hooper’s Lodgings, now Shelley’s Hotel.

Lynmouth was “discovered” in the first decade of the 19th century when the Napoleonic Wars had closed the Continent to English visitors. As they were unable to make the Grand Tour due to conflict in Europe the Victorians visited the area, naming it “Little Switzerland” as it reminded them so much of the country.
