Jane & Richard as ever looked after us really well. We wanted a 5 day relaxing, chilling break (ie No Children, No blaring Televisions, Music Centres just fantastic views, quietness and books)and we couldn’t have asked for more. Bedrooms as always are spotless, nothing is to much trouble, breakfasts we are always spoilt for choice. Ern (Think about it) in... More

I have just returned from a two night stay with one of my daughters at Shelleys hotel in Lynmouth North Devon. What a beautiful place it is...The hotel was spotlessly clean, the food was wonderful, and the hospitality was faultless. I highly recommend this hotel. Thank you "Shellys" for a wonderful weekend.

We recently stayed here for the second time and have to say it was as good if not better than before! Richard & Jane made us welcome from the minute we walked through the door, Shelley's is a little gem! Comfortable rooms and welcoming atmosphere. The breakfast are first class I can safely say they are in our top 3....... More

We stayed for 3 nights and had a fantastic stay. The hotel is beautiful and Jane and Richard are very friendly and welcoming. Our room was spotless as was the rest of the hotel. Breakfast was lovely and there was a variety of choice. Can't fault anything about our stay and we can't wait to return.

We've posted a review of Shelley's before, or at least our turtle, Flappy, has. This is our fifth bank holiday stay with Jane and Richard and each has been a great pleasure. Friendly, helpful and obviously concerned that we enjoy our stay, they are perfect hosts. Good advice too on meals and walks. The building is lovely and there are... More
