The Bath Hotel in North Devon

We each enjoyed a seafood platter for "one". The location is beautiful and the service was impeccable. The menu has something or everyone. Our waiter was Bek who was a lovely young man and an excellent server.

Lured in by the promise of a Sunday Roast, and am pleased to say The Ancient Mariner did not disappoint. We both had a lovely Lamb Roast which had obviously been cooked and served with care. Staff were both friendly and helpful. Great experience.

Arrived had to order at the bar. Not even shown to our table Ordered steak was served steak with oven chips! Broccoli 🥦 with stalks on . Ordered puddings had to wait over half an hour for them Then when they arrived I had to send my creme brulee back as it wasn't caramelised on top. Then to finish off went to the bar to pay and we were charged for other people's drinks on our bar tab. Won't be going back!

Only had drinks here due to previous bad reviews. Shanty singers were fabulous on a Thursday evening, such good fun. Bottle of wine priced at £31.50 was expensive. Seemed like more of a themed pub rather than a cozy local. If it wasn’t for the shanty singers we wouldn’t have bothered visiting

Just spent 3 days here and had fantastic time . We stayed an extra night so experienced 2 different rooms . Well decorated and designed, lovely and quirky. Very quite and the best nights sleep in a hotel ever spent . Friendly staff with special mention to Bek in dining room and the manager . Both couldn’t do enough for you . Very clean , lovely breakfast and dinner was good although would have liked a little more choice Would definitely recommend to friends/family and look forward to coming back.

Ordered sandwiches we were sat outside with our dogs. Bread tasted stale, no mayonnaise on the BLT. Left most of the food

Go somewhere else. We had booked dinner in the bar area as we were there with our dog. When we entered we gave our name to be told we didn't have a reservation. We spelled our surname and were then shown the reservations where our booking was clearly visible. We were seated at the table, given menus and left alone. We were not offered drinks and nobody took our orders. I asked a member of staff in a waistcoat if we could order and I was sent back to the bar. I had to pay for everything immediately and the option of a table tab was not understood. More guests were then seated around us where drink and food orders were taken at the table. I complained and was advised the staff were new. The menu was basic and the food was very basic. I left 3/4 of my dinner. I waited 20 minutes for someone to clear the table. No comments about the amount of food left and no offer of dessert. Would definitely not recommend

It’s deteriorated but could be easily resolved. We don’t live nearby but we are from Devon and come here every year and usually stay in the attached hotel. We’ve always had a great experience but it’s really slipped. There used to be an extensive menu but it’s now restricted to just a few items which I’m ok with as long as they have focused on a less-is-more outstanding quality approach. Not the case sadly. Almost no choice for vegetarians and vegans. The mussels were ok, the fish and chips with rock hard peas were underwhelming and the olive oil and breads was served with pretty hideous rapeseed oil instead, even though the menu says olive oil. The garlic bread was grim too / just white bread toasted on one side. I’m not sure if something has changed or if the place is under financial pressure but it’s one of the worst meals we have had in a good while. I suspect there is no trained chef. This place needs a Gordon Ramsey moment to rip up the menu and go back to focusing on a great customer experience. The staff were pleasant enough. It’s a shame to let it slip as it’s the focal point of the whole town and for us it’s always been a part of the Lynmouth experience. It’s always been packed when we have come before but not as busy tonight and we also couldn’t book a table - walk in’s only. All could be fixed easily as the decor and ambience is still great. Whoever is standing over the food menu and quality though needs to get some friendly help.

A warm welcome and smile would’ve been nice on arrival ( that doesn’t cost much ) maybe take the lids of drink bottles and pour the drinks for your customers ( that doesn’t take much effort). Food okay. Nice burger , fish and chips standard and kids pasta was delicious. BLT presented beautifully but minimal amount of Bacon (less bread and more Bacon) . Burger,fish and chips, kids pasta and BLT with drinks £88 . Would I go back (probably not due to rude staff)

Had the ham ploughman’s , 4 slices of ham, nice fresh bread , a few bits of rocketand a tomato, couple of slices of apple, pickled onions, gerhkins and sandwich pickle , why would you need 3 types of pickles? Where was the lettuce cucumber and coleslaw? The laziest ploughman’s I’ve ever had.

We visited in July for a lamb roast after finding it the only local place to serve lamb. We were seated in the Galley section (it’s very dog friendly). The food was delicious with sides such as cauliflower cheese included. The service was friendly and efficient. My only watch out would be, if you love lots gravy on your roast, you only get a drizzle! I did ask for extra which they provided in a gravy boat, but I wasn’t made aware I’d be charged an extra £2 for this. I thought that was a little unfair considering there was barely any gravy to start with, and personally I think gravy is a key part in a roast! In terms of the Sunday menu they offered lots of variety with non roast dishes also available.

Was here recently for a few nights. Have to say the food was amazing, really flavoursome and good quality too. The hotel itself was nice, a little dark but good. The staff were fantastic. My only gripe was that the rooms, though to a high standard were quite small for the cost

Nice room, spotless and very comfortable. Great breakfast. Great location.

We didn't stay at The Bath Hotel, but we had the most amazing food there and staff member Jack (from Australia) and his partner Eden (who was off duty) were a great laugh. We had a great time.

WOW! What else can I say, apart from that my 3 night stay here was one of the best hotel experiences I have ever had. Everything about my stay was exceptional. The location, literally in the centre of Lynmouth overlooking the harbour. My allocated room was delightful, The Fernery; welcoming, cosy and comfortable with a homely feel which is missing from run of the mill hotel rooms. It also has a sea view. Excellent breakfast choice; croissants, fresh fruits, cereals, various cooked choices and plenty of tea or coffee. I had dinner in the restaurant; venison, perfectly cooked and presented. I also ate in the adjoining Ancient Mariner; lamb stew. The Ancient Mariner is also a great pub too. Very highly recommended.

Exceptional service in all respects. They have 2 charging points for electric vehicles, which was a bonus for us. Breakfast was excellent with an amazing choice including freshly cooked hot food. We had dinner on the 1st night including a bottle of wine. Again outstanding my wife had a mussels starter and a steak main. I had Venison and a desert . All very well cooked. Delicious and lovely presentation. An added bonus is the pub next door which again is superb. Highly recommend the hotel.

Can't rate the rooms as I didn't stay over night but what I can rate is the food , service and price is absolutely amazing and spot on

Arrived for lunch and was not disappointed, steak burger, salmon linguine and scampi for the little one. Food was fantastic, service was brilliant, friendly and great procedures in place to keep everyone safe, definitely worth a visit

Bath Hotel is oldy worldy. Found good standards of cleanliness and service. Staff were very nice indeed. Food in the restaurant was outstanding, breakfasts delicious. I recommend with confidence. Nice rooms, some parking within the hotel.

This is an olde worlde hotel and though a little rambling we were impressed with the view from our room . Unfortunately the bathroom was extremely small and cramped with no control on the hot water resulting in a burnt foot ! The bathroom sink was in the main bedroom! It cost £140 for the night then we were asked to pay an additional £10 to park our car !!! This was definitely unacceptable!!! Very disappointing for the price !!! Xxx

After a very long day sightseeing we stopped here for a drink and a meal, all the staff were quite charming, especially the Afro/ Caribbean guy who took our meal order, he oosed charm to all his customers, The food was excellent, and there was a reasonable wait between courses that too was very nice .The place has a nice ambience, we would retail visiting again.

Excellent quality with service to match enjoyed by all! Guaranteed a return visit. On holiday with family had Sunday meal you won’t be disappointed one of the best! Plus it was dog friendly which was important to us thanks to all concerned! Louis B

We stayed at The Bath whilst walking the South West Coast Path in Devon. The staff were friendly and helpful and our room was large, comfortable and tastefully decorated. I received an email before our stay asking if we would like to book a table in the Ancient Mariners, which we did. We had a delicious meal in there as well as a very good breakfast the next morning in the hotel. As a vegetarian I was particularly pleased that the kitchen make their own chestnut and mushroom veggie sausages which were very tasty. We always rate the places we stay in whilst walking out of 10 and The Bath came out top overall in our week’s holiday.

We had to complain three times after waiting almost an hour for our main course to arrive. When we finished our meal, the waitress asked us how the food was. Two of our meals had lacked serious flavour and seasoning, and when we told her this she replied “well we were never going to make you happy tonight anyway” in an incredibly unprofessional and rude tone. This was totally inappropriate after what we had already experienced... she gave us a discount on the food, but overall the treatment and delivery was very disappointing.

Despite being busy service was timely and very friendly. When the food arrived we were surprised at the portions which were so generous we didn't have room for pudding. Three very thick slices of succulent lamb accompanied by a few roast potatoes, suede, balsamic red cabbage, parsnip, cauliflower cheese, broccoli and a couple more. All cooked how I like them. Dogs were also allowed within the bar area and fussed over by staff. If in the area again would have no hesitation to return.

We have just stayed four nights here in a twin room with sea views. Room was in need of a bit of TLC but it was clean and beds comfy. Very quiet at night. Staff very friendly and excellent breakfast. Parking £10 a day at side of hotel.

We decided to have lunch at this hotel and our family of 6 walked up to the bar and were confronted by a blank expression from the barman! We ordered food to the value of £90 and still no smile or conversation. The food was was served by a waitress with a smile. Always a good idea when your dealing with the public. The food was very nice, even though It wasn't Correct.

Very nice pub which is very dog friendly with water by the door :) nice atmosphere and lovely decor ...

Lovely place to sit outside and have a drink watching the world go by. Didn't eat there this time but have always found the food to be good in the past.

Very mediocre food and we weren't acknowledged by the staff when sitting down. Drink prices very confusing too, gin menu and pricing does not include the mixer although it seems to state it does on the menu. No feeling of customer service at all.

we visited this restaurant for an evening meal. I chose the fish dish which came with veg that were perfectly done , just crispy enough.

I stayed recently with my partner and a couple of friends. We usually stay either at The Rising Sun or, even better, The Lorna Doone, however as they were both fully booked we decided to try The Bath.

Booked at short notice so table was located in the extended bar area rather than the hotel. Food was tasty, hot and presented well,plusgluten free options were available.

As there were 10 of us we were dispatched to the room next to the bar / restaurant which was a bit sterile with no atmosphere. The food and service were very good.

After a long day on the SWCP, we opened the door to this hotel and ere immedictely enveloped in serenity and dignity. Great location ---- rooms on the front have little balconies! Generous breakfast.

Great food, especially the fish and chips , would recommend . Can get pretty busy so worth booking in advance.

the most helpful and friendly staff. Food was brilliant as was the service. The room was very clean and the views from the hotel were stunning

Great location, fab bar (brilliant service, 45 gins !!!, and lovely food - all very stylish, too) and very good breakfast. Parking easy. Best of all was our cute little room - a Mariner room- decorated to be like a ship's cabin. It was small but that didn't matter at all. Bathroom hadn't yet been refurbished, which was a shame, but when that's done it should be perfect! We stayed 2 nights and would definitely return - especially if we could stay in our cute little room again (ideally with the bathroom refurb). It was so nice going to sleep to the sound of the sea/river.

Went here for an evening meal. Nice menu and good service. Reasonably priced in rustic surroundings.

we stayed here last week .it is a. amazing place . our room was spotless so clean and tidy. the view from the room was just wonderfull.. All the staff where very friendly and helpful. if your going to lynmouth its the place to stay. we will be back.

Came with my partner and newborn - I was so worried about bringing a week old baby into such an quiet little place but all staff at the hotel were so welcoming and put me at ease , one of the staff (a lady sorry didn't catch name) let us check out a few hours later than the scheduled time so I could get a few extra hours kip which was really nice of them with no extra charge - really appreciated that so I had caught up on my sleep for the long journey home! Room was spotless , plenty of tea/coffee/hot choc. , had a lovely balcony view. Breakfast was superb , I hate beans and sausage yet my plate was empty ! Will deffo use this hotel again when come back down to a lynmouth ! Thank you x

We were greeted with a smile - happy to serve us. They were very friendly including giving our dog a treat. The staff were excellent but the food is outstanding. I am a vegetarian and finding a good burger is really hard. Most restaurants simply buy a packet of vege burgers from a supermarket, stuff it in a bun and that's it. The Bath Hotel have produced the best vege burger I have ever tasted. It was made with Halloumi and was cooked to perfection. It had an amazing sauce with it - all home made. I was looking forward to tucking in and there was no disappointment. It tasted amazing. The chips were very tasty - chunky and perfectly cooked.

Have to say the menu is a little quirky and a bit limited , but we enjoyed the meals we ordered. Service started of ok, but then everyone disappeared and we sat with dirty dishes for 45 minutes, we had to ask for the table to be cleared and by then were passed bothering with a sweet. Not a cheap place to eat , service needs to improve.

Called in on the off chance and were lucky enough to get a table (last minute cancelation) quirky restaurant in the centre of Lynmouth with very friendly staff that were like a breath off fresh air with their excellent service, we both went for the local fresh cod and double baked chips with lightly crushed minted peas and garnish cooked to perfection in a superb crisp batter (Complements to the Chef) and all for a reasonable price with drinks to complement, have been to Lynmouth on many occasions and have often walked past this little gem of a restaurant not in the future will definitely visit again when in the area ?

Un lugar muy relajante para tomar una copa, sofás y sillas, así que decidimos probarlo para la cena.

En el último minuto, una mesa reservada para 11 de nosotros para una comida familiar y reunirse. Desde el principio el servicio era excelente. La opción en el menú era simplemente perfecto, no demasiado y para todos los gustos y dietas como había dos Celiaquía en nuestro grupo.

Op een koude middag hier neergestreken voor een warme chocomelk met marshmallows. Prachtige zaak met mooi interieur. Aardig personeel.

It was a very wet afternoon and we called (10 of us & 2 dogs!) here for an afternoon-tea, extremely wet, tired, and in need of refreshment. We were all welcomed in (including the dogs!) and despite only having an hour, the friendly waiter ensured food was served promptly. Very pleasant location and lovely variety of food. Catered for all varied tastes (including 2 children) and everyone had a superb repast. Excellent real ale served here also. The location was perfect.

Had no idea what to expect but really enjoyed a ploughman's lunch and a pint. Nice atmosphere and located in a central part of the town. I found the staff were a happy and friendly lot and made sure the was a great service even though the place was crowded. Thanks for a pleasant time.

My wife and I both ate and drank here while we were staying for a few days break. Its a new meets old environment run by a few young guys who are so attentive that you cannot help but like the place. Great beers, and reasonable priced wines but the best thing about it is the food. The Mussels were the best that I have ever had in my life and that includes many visits to France. We stayed in a different hotel however next time we visit we will pick this as I cannot fault anything. They even bring you blankets to put over your legs if you sit outside and its a little chilly. Thanks guys and we hope to see you again soon

We called in for lunch and had an enjoyable Ploughmans The staff were friendly and welcoming and our fog was allowed insideThere is a varied choice on the lunchtime menu, we both had the Ploughmans which came with two massive lumps of good quality cheesePrices were reasonable and there is a decent choice of drinks on offer

New owners have transformed this hotel/pub and brought it up to date. Good food and wine at reasonable prices. Try the cocktails.

Sat outside for evening meal with my wife. We asked if the steak would be available with peas and pepper sauce instead of mushroom sauce. We also said if that was a problem, ham egg and chips twice would be OK. After a short wait we were informed that the Chef didn't have the ingredients for our first choice. Soon our ham and eggs arrived accompanied with a small dish of five chips each. When asked later if our meal was OK, I said that I didn't feel it was value for money and we still felt hungry. The bar staff said they would tell the Chef. There was no offer of any discount from the bill despite the staff being understanding. We also felt the menu was quite limited. We liked the location and the pleasant staff and would return for drinks but not the food.

We decided to eat here for a Sunday lunch but it was not the best. Small piece of dry pork, 3 hard roasted potatoes and a huge Yorkshire pudding which was not like any I have ever tasted. Vegetables were fresh and fine. Maybe it was an ' off day' but we decided not to go back.

We decided to go to the restaurant in The Bath Hotel for my birthday lunch. We found that the menu at the main entrance to the hotel seemed to be different to the one inside the restaurant/pub section. The staff serving seemed a bit too laid back and wasn't familiar with changes to the new menu. I wanted the poached salmon dish only to be told that was the only one on the menu we couldn't have because the delivery of fish hadn't arrived yet so we decided to opt for the omelettes instead. These were on the menu at the hotel's entrance but not inside the restaurant/pub. They were to be £10.95 each btw. We chose our fillings and asked for new potatoes instead if chips and salad (the menu by the entrance said buttered greens but we asked for salad and was told that was fine). What came up were 3 fairly thin and slightly overcooked omelettes with quite a lot of new potatoes and a small garnish of green salad. All for £10.95 each. £5.95 would've been too much. We decided not to go back again.

We visited here based on the looks of the building and that there were many customers eating both inside and outside. Having seen the Sunday lunch menu we decided to stay and eat. I liked the sound of the black treacle & ale braised brisket with Yorkshire pudding and dauphinois potato.It was accompanied by 2 bowls of vegetables and a bowl of roasted potatoes. The meal was excellent, the meat was so tender and tasty but did not taste of treacle? The potatoes were delicious and the veg cooked just right, all served on a warm plate so the food remained hot until I'd finished. It was so filling I could not think about a desert.I also enjoyed a good pint of Old Sproggers Beer.I would not hesitate to recommend a visit here!

I had read the review by Nick S about the breakfast not being fit for pigs but as I had eaten breakfast there that morning and thought he was wrong I decided to give it a go for dinner. We had eaten at The Rising Sun the night before and 7 Bistro was booked so I booked in at the Bath Hotel. We were staying there anyway so it made life easy, not far to go. Started with drinks, a pint of Mena Dhu, a black Guinness like stout which I can recommend. The starters were both very well presented, ham hock and asparagus/poached egg and then fish and chips and rump steak for mains. We were full but still had apple crumble and bread and butter pudding to finish off with. The food was good and we were not rushed by the waitress. Each course arrived 10-15 mins apart and not one after the other. Ther are different parts to the restaurant and you can go and have a meal in the pub side. I'd recommend eating here and am surprised it's only rated at no 14 in Lynmouth, the others must be very very good.

We were staying on holiday just outside Lynton & visited The Bath hotel public bar/diner quite a few times whilst we were there as the food was so tasty,well worth the money,not expensive or short on portions, the staff were very polite & friendly. We found the quality & portions of the food amazing, I had a 'boring' cheese toastie but how it was presented was yummy-all the added extras!! My husband had a fish supper & the fish took up most of the plate space! Well recommended if visiting the area.

I had cod and chips . The other person in my party had omelette. Boring you think? Not at all. Superbly cooked with "out of this world "vegetables. A nice welcoming log fire greeted us. Give it a try. I shall be back

Had a great meal here. Limited choice but nothing boring about it. An excellent use of good quality produce perfectly balanced within each meal. Would have had pud too if we had room.Very helpful staff. They couldn't do enough for mum in her wheelchair. Would go back to Lynmouth just to have something else off the menu.

Awful room en suite was separated by a wall toilet and bath in one area sink in the bedroom area, smelt bad and tv was a joke something out of the 80s, breakfast was disgusting, unwashed mushrooms sausage was awful and bacon was riddles with cartilage, really bad free breakfast but will pass in the morning thank you, not worth the money I paid for our stay and will not stay here again, not happy one bit .

This restaurant has been totally revamped- it now has a steam punk/industrial look that is both fresh,and welcoming.The look is very well thought out.Well done to who ever put it together.We had dishes from the lunch menu - i had the smoked salmon dish which not only looked stunning,but also tasted amazing.My husband had the prawns in lemonade batter which was so good he only let me have the smallest piece of batter to try.We also heard the Sunday roast we're good -so we will be back to try that soon .

Been twice in the last week and certainly not disappointed. They welcome dogs and offered biscuits to both of mine.We had 4 different meals across the two visits and all were really good.Chicken curry, chilli con carne, beef lasagne and pizza were all really nice although pizza base either frozen or shop bought. The chips here are really nice.First time we went was lunchtime and at no point did we feel rushed or pushed out! Today, much later, around 4pm and the same reaction.They were very welcoming and were pleased to serve us.

Friendly Staff, a nice Pint of Tribute Real Ale, which is kept well.. I ordered Ham, Egg and Chips, very tasty. will go again.

We popped into the pub for a bite to eat and were not disappointed. The staff were all very friendly and the service efficient. Quite a good menu of pub grub, I ordered a ploughmans, several options, and I went for the Brie ...it was gorgeous an extremely generous portion served with hot crusty bread yum. My husband went for crab sandwiches which he enjoyed. Would not hesitate to recommend and would certainly call in again.

The board outside this hotel offered Sunday Roast with home made Yorkies. Unfortunately the yorkies were the only thing that could pass for home made. The beef had spent more time in a packet than it had on a joint, and the roast potatoes and vegetables were fresh from the freezer. Very disappointing.

Been here several times over the years. It has recently changed hands but I believe still in the same family and fortunately that standards and nice staff are the same. Very good value for money both for food and drink. Much better value and food than many of the other local establishments in Lynton/Lynmouth. Would certainly recommend and it is dog friendly throughout.

Recently had an evening meal here whilst staying in Lynmouth. Food and wine was very good and the restaurant was a nice intimate setting. The main bar / pub within the hotel is also an excellent hangout offering great value meals and the awesome local ales that are Tribute and Otter. Staff also very nice and friendly. Would definitely return

We visited here towards the end of our Cornwall and Devon trail and it was a fine finale. A very quaint hotel - very different to the adjoining bar. A lovely old fashioned decor with a very acceptable veggie menu. The bar next door offers an even more extensive list for vegetarians and this can also be ordered in the restaurant - all you need to do is ask.The service was fast class. Friendly and timely.Cost? Pretty reasonable for an evening out. About £55 for two course for two people plus coffee and a bottle of wine.Thoroughly enjoyed our evening here.

We decided to try the beer battered fish and chips here. Having walked in we seemed to upset the barmans equilibrium by ordering food before selecting a table. He gave us the distinct impression we were maladjusted rebels disrupting a finely tuned operation. But condescended to let us dine anyway. Anyway we paid upfront ,chose a table and sat down. A couple of minutes later I decided I would like some peas with my order. I endured a withering look, head toss and a sigh. Because remember folks not every chef has mastered microwave de-frosting level 3!We assembled various plastic packaged condiments for our repast and waited(the contents of one bore no resemblance whatsoever to any tartar sauce I have ever previously encountered)The chips were OK and the batter crisp but the fish had no discernable flavour. Possibly Pollock or Copy but definitely not Cod or Haddock.Lynmouth has plenty of restaurants and cafes to choose from, I wouldn't choose this one again.. If customers are an irritant to you change jobs. P.S. I spent over 30 years in the industry, I understand the value of good service.

We ate in the bar at the Bath Hotel twice while staying in Lynmouth. Excellent, freshly-cooked food, quick, friendly service and pleasant surroundings. We'll definitely eat there again when in Lynmouth and will probably stay in the hotel too. Dogs are welcome.

We're hungry and wanted to sit outside in the sun, there was a large restaurant inside but we used the outside seating area. We ordered the Brie ploughmans which was ok. Wanted the cheddar but was told it was mild and I prefer mature cheddar, just my own preference. You got 2 rolls which were warned. I gave one to my oartner as you didn't need 2. Would have preferred more salad pickles coleslaw etc rather than bread. My partner had the bacon burger with chips which he said was ok. He said abit underdone but again his preference. The staff were very friendly and polite. My son had a cheese toastiewhich he enjoyed and couldn't eat all of it

Called in as a foursome without booking and were treated to good old rationed service, lovely old style dining tables laid impeccably, the food really excellent, you must try this place, you will not be disappointed.

What a find this little place was! After a day stomping ad trudging I found a splendid watering hole. The staff are very kind and t was sheer pleasure to eavesdrop on their exchanges with the regulars: it seemed as though you were at somebody's home. The overall impression is that of a 50's place where all is well in the world. To my chagrin I only have one stomach... I saw another party being served and each and every of the dishes that floated tantalisingly by was an open invitation. I enjoyed the brilliant toasted teacake (asked for seconds) which was, I apologise beforehand for the trite pun, tasty to a t!I have pics I'll share later

Firstly it should be pointed out that there are 2 eating areas. One is similar to a pub and the other is the hotel restaurant which is a little more formal and has to be booked. We were lucky enough to try both out and could not fault anything. Service, food and hospitality were excellent....we thank Rachael and Lee for looking after us (after poor results at a couple of other establishments), especially with Lee's lemon brulee!It's quite easy to overlook this place, we're certainly pleased we took the plunge!

We were pleasantly surprised by this harbourside bar, having been turned away from a number of places because it was after 230. We both had ham, egg and chips, with a slice of bread. All was good quality for the price. Nice atmosphere too.

We had lunch here as a family of 7 during our recent holiday in nearby Woolacombe. We ate in the courtyard and our food arrived promptly. The food was of a high quality and portion size large! Just beware if you order the onion rings you get about 12 We will definitely return when we're next in the area.

We had an evening meal in the restaurant, we chose Chicken which was bland and served with a few cut chips, the sea bass looked grey in colour and I choose not to eat it. I told the waitress that I could not eat the sea bass, her reply was ' I am surprised as it is a popular choice'.I would advise not to order the chicken as it takes an hour to cook, the sea bass did not appear to be fresh however, the meals were reasonably priced although portion size small.

We sat outside here recently with our dog, enjoying a leisurely tea and coffee whilst overlooking the harbour and watching the world go by. The drinks were very reasonably priced and the waitress was friendly and efficient too. The toilets were clean. (We also had the option to eat inside too.)

I went here with my dad for lunch. The lady who served us was friendly and polite. We ordered the soup of the day, which was potato and leek, a side salad and then a cream tea for after. The soup was nice, but nothing special. The side salad was a generous portion and tasted good. Unfortunately the scone for our cream tea was dry and so I'd advise against ordering this should you choose to come here. The price of the food wasn't too expensive so I'd recommend lunch here should you find yourself visiting Lynmouth for a few days.

Food was good and affordable :) On the first night we arrived but the service time was already over. They were able to accompany us, to our delight and we were so grateful! Thumbs up :)

The staff are welcoming and the hotel is very clean we arrived very late but they still managed to find us a room

great service - very welcoming and most important great food and it was just around the corner from where we were staying

Yesterday (1.6.2014)We drove 3 hours to go to Woody Bay steam train.On our way back we stopped at Lynmouth.We came into your bar, where we had a drink and Fish and Chips, which were very good.Thank youThen we had another 3 hour drive home.

Popped in for a late lunch with my husband, elderly parents and our three dogs. We were all made to feel very comfortable and as it had been a chilly, wet day it was nice to sit somewhere warm and have the dogs inside with us. There was a good choice of food on the menu and reasonably priced, and the staff were efficient and friendly. The meals were served in good time in a relaxed atmosphere (although it would obviously be quite different in high season), with lovely views all around. We visited, walked and stayed in and around Lynmouth for over 30 years, but this was the first time we had gone into the Bath Hotel, encouraged by the big 'dogs welcome' sign outside. Will not hesitate to return there.

Sat down to have a spot of dinner was a lovely location and was styled like an old fashioned pub has the lasagne which was the best I have ever had was the perfect mix and was just an awesome night and an awesome meal. Highly recommend!

We booked this hotel really not knowing what to expect.Earlier reviews were mixed but we wanted somewhere to stay central to Lynmouth & SWCP.On arrival the very friendly lady on reception was brilliant. Nothing was no problem even when we wanted to book a taxi.She tried numerous numbers before success. The hotel is really old fashioned which we loved.Room 7 is oblong shaped with a small bath/loo/shower.A basin in the room also.The room is compact/clean and tidy.This is all we wanted due to us walking part of the Southwest Coastal Path and not spending to much time in the room.The breakfast & evening restaurant was top class with food & service 2nd to none.Again the staff were brilliant with every one treated as good friends.Always interested in what you had been up to that day.After a long day walking all we wanted was a beer & ploughmans.The bar attached to the hotel supplied both which was great.Finally our local taxi driver was full of chat & info,so use Moorland Taxis 07582 278743..Michael Witt...Top fella....Give this hotel a visit..you won't be disappointed...

Went in for a drink to see what the place was like with a view to possibly having a meal there the following night. What greeted us was:1. Bad smell of body odour (Barman should use deodorant), 2. the ale was off (end of barrel) and;3. thrash metal music playing on sound system. Couldn't get out of there quick enough. Needless to say we did not go back.For the 4 evenings we were staying in Lynmouth other pubs/bars nearby were busy whilst this one was very quiet ..... Its a pity as the hotel itself looks quite nice.

Worth a look. The hotel has a great bar with a pool table and dart table and the restaurant was clean, well furnished and the food was great.

My wife and I both ordered the chicken breast stuffed with blue cheese and wrapped in bacon. My food was average at best, I could have done a better job of it at home, yes it was chicken, it did have blue cheese but the bacon was draped over it. My wife was served a similar chicken breast without the blue cheese which probably would've masked the stink of the chicken being off! This was taken off the bill and the waitress was very sorry. Not a good experience, when the waitress went out to the kitchen to sort out the blue cheese for my wife we could hear her shouting at the chef!

This is the third time we have stayed in this hotel and the restaurant food has been superb every time. We were surprised to read on Trip Advisor that one or two people had had bad experiences in the bar but we can only say the meals in the restaurant are excellent. We had very tasty garlic mushrooms, a trio of smoked fish as a starter, a delicious lambs liver casserole and T-bone steak . The ingredients are obviously local and very fresh, the fish is extremely good and the service is always friendly. It isn't haut cuisine but it is perfect after a day walking or enjoying the local scenery and is hard to fault in any way.

No real problems with the beer and nothing majorly bad about the service, however there are far better places nearby to go for food. Prices do not reflect the quality and the ingredients used are pretty cheap.and not particularly tasty. That said, the prices for beer are reasonable and the bar is well equipped, so you can have a decent pint over a game of pool, or sit and chat and put some music on the jukebox.

Really surprised at the bad reviews for this place. Ate in the restaurant with my mum, food was excellent well worth the money. Service was excellent, friendly and relaxing. So pleased I left a huge tip. Went into the Galley bar next door for a drink, again good service, felt comfortable and relaxed. Would definitely eat and drink here again if passing.

Unfortunately we had not seen the other review for this place before visiting. We wanted a pub tea, something tasty and simple. Menu was very limited, and food very poor. We both had the chilli and it could have been anything! Simple but not tasty. Service was unfriendly.

We popped into the Galley Bar for a lunch with two families with small children and ordered kids meals and sandwiches/burgers for the adults. Prices were average, staff were terrible - not at all hospitable and looked very annoyed about our request to put two tables together to accommodate us as a group.The food was possible the worst excuse for a pub lunch I have ever experienced, and if it were not for our 3 hungry children we would have demanded a refund and left - it was really that bad.My own choice of a chicken burger was a grave mistake; I received what can only be described as a reconstituted saw-dust textured discus of grey matter, burned on one side, raw on the other, and wedged between a cheap bun. I took one bite and couldn’t even swallow it - it was vile. One asking the waitress to take it back and replace it with a simple sandwich I was told that 'she would have to ask the chef'.She left the food in front of me and marched off to the kitchen whilst uttering words under her breath. She returned shortly after and told me that the chef was confident that the meat was of a very high quality and sourced locally! This burger had no comparison to a piece of chicken.I asked her to take it back, which she did - only to return with the chef himself who looked very annoyed and challenged my disapproval with the food. An argument developed with him saying that it was good quality food that he had spent a long time researching and sourcing locally, and me simply saying that I was not at all happy with what was being masqueraded as chicken.To say the chef was rude and arrogant would be a massive understatement and the final straw was when he called one of the children a 'mucky pup' for getting some beans on the dinner mat. Truly unbelievable. I told him that I no longer wanted him to talk with us and that he was ruining a meal that we had paid for. Eventually he left and agreed to refund my meal.This left a very awkward atmosphere in the pub which was not helped by the waitress and bar staff standing nearby to us and watching our every move. We couldn’t get out of there quick enough...All that was left was to get my refund, which I had to ask for from the barmaid. She then refused! On asking the chef for confirmation of this, she returned to the till and literally chucked my £7.99 back into my hand and shot me a look that could kill.If i could give this place a minus mark, Iwould. I have NEVER experienced such appalling customer service and strongly suggest you don’t either. Avoid this place like the plague.

I suppose we should have had second thoughts when the advertised price for Sunday roast on Mother's Day was only £5.95 in such a popular holiday destination. The fact that they weren't already full booked should also have told us something.The meal arrived very quickly, with a large Yorkshire pudding piled on top and soaked in gravy; personally I prefer it dry and crispy. The 'beef' as it was described I suspect came out of a tin as it was tasteless. Vegetables nicely cooked although my wife described the cabbage as reminiscent of school dinners. Roast potatoes overcooked - almost burnt. Overall very disappointing.Easily the majority of my posts on this website have been very positive so for anyone who reads this needs to bear that in mind.

Firstly, let me say, we did not stay in the hotel so this is not directed to them. However, we popped in for a quick lunch at the Galley Bar attached to the hotel and as there was myself, husband and 3 children ranging from 17 to 9 years old, we were looking for value for money as we were on a tight budget. The 2 youngest had the childrens menu and the rest of us opted for the jumbo sausage and chips. Firstly they managed to say we ordered 4 of them and did not offer to reimburse us for the extra meal and said it was our fault - perhaps a communication problem on their part. Secondly, the sausages were the cheapest, nastiest ones all of us have ever had!!!! The meals cost £4.99 each and we expected more!!! We knew they weren't going to be the best quality sausages, but what a rip off. Steer clear me thinks!!
