The Captain's House

Fun A interesting decor and owners were very nice

Character and charm We really loved our stay , the hosts were very welcoming and breakfast was lovely. We enjoy staying somewhere with character and it definitely has that !and it was super clean .lynmouth is beautiful and there is plenty to do in the area we reckon the circular walk to Watersmeet and Countisbury and also the riding sun pub if you want a fancy meal We would definitely stay again Thankyou 🙂

Lovely location. Captains house very pretty & clean but very basic

Breakfast was solid. My gripe is that I booked a room with a private bathroom, but when I was shown the room I was told that the shower and the toilet were on the other side of the landing. No private bathroom even though I’d paid for one.

Absolutely appalled by the proprietors attitude, Anyone would have thought we had the bubonic plague or rabies or such like with the diabolical welcome we recieved....... Firstly meet with a chain across the entrance , Rang the bell 🔔, Then met by the grumpist old man on the planet,,,,,, Before we even had chance to enquire as to what we wanted , He said, Cream tea , I replied , What else is on offer , He barked , Cake 🎂, Even though it was pouring with rain He processed to close the door in our faces after ordering cream tea , Throw the tray at me & my sister in the rain and went on to demand £15 cash We were shocked at how expensive this was , We"re cornish and farmers & were rared on clotted.cream so we know how it should be , I asked him to bring us a fresh bowl as it looked old stale and dark orange with a hard skin & a crack on the top . Like it had Been sat in the back of the fridge for days , Reluctantly brought more , Was slightly better , But the dish was smaller , Wasn't enough for one scone then rang the bell & asked for more , The same even grumpier old.man brought the original stale old cracked cream , My sister & I preceeded to taste and it , It was rancid & had spots of mould on it , Unfortunately we had already paid and we didn't want to make a fuss because he already looked angry so imagine it we had complained more . I am still shocked that this day & age paying customers can be treated this way . I've noticed all the other bad reviews, Close this man's place down before he poisons someone!!!!

We stayed here years ago and it was absolutely awful then. Such a shame because the position of this place is beautiful. We didn't find the owner very pleasant in fact he was rather abrupt with his customers. We stayed in the attic room with our daughter and we all ended up sleeping in one bed as her bed was really uncomfortable.
