A lovely, cosy hotel full of history and charm. Just needs some updating, heating needs to be sorted. However, apart from this was a nice place to stay. Close by for many things too! Lovely friendly … Full review by E4807KKemmas

You get a great reward with the very short walk from Lynton to here. Stunning views of both the Valley and also both coasts or the Bristol Channel. We came here on the Exmoor Coaster so sadly had lit… Full review by Jen_Andy_Lawson

Hi, where is the nearest car park to start this walk, and is the coastal walk suitable for a 20-week pregnant woman? It would be lovely to exercise with a view but I won't want to strain myself with it. Thank you.

On a scale of one being on your sofa at home, and ten driving hairpin bends in the Dolomite mountains, or a viewing platform in Madeira over a 1000ft drop, I guess this rates as a two and a half to three at most. Hope this helps.

A:
The cliff walk from the town of Lynton along the coastal path to the valley of the rocks is more than possible with a pram but it is a sheer drop down to the sea so obviously care must be taken and once in the valley of the rocks it’s relatively flat wth a well made up road. We did it all on push bikes and it was fine, enjoy and don’t forget your camera.

Yes dogs are more than welcome on these walks providing they are kept under control and on a leash for their own safety. There is plenty of active wildlife that you will see as you travel along the path. Mountain goats, rabbits, birds etc...all of which dogs have a tendency to chase...but it's a long drop to the sea!! All dog walkers will also need to be mindful of meeting other dog walkers coming from the opposite direction and bear in mind that not all dogs get along with each other. I believe though not 100% sure, that there are water stations at either end...which is a bonus. Enjoy.
