This place is just fine. Don’t judge the entrance by the scaffolding. The owner has lot of personality. The room was beautiful and breakfast was similarly high quality. Lynton and Lynmouth was fun to explore and Exmoor is right next door

I loved the atmosphere of the guest house. It is homely and comfortable whilst being very clean as well.
Located in the centre of town it is conveniently situated for absolutely everything and the owners, Maria and Clive, are friendly, welcoming (as are their pets!) and they clearly love the building and the business.
Breakfast was plentiful and well made which set us up for the day!
I really enjoyed my stay there and look forward to returning.

We've just finished a lovely 6 night stay at St Vincent's, in the lovely Colossus room. The bed was very comfortable and the room was airy, spacious and quiet. Maria and Clive were excellent hosts, anticipating our every need. My wife is dairy intolerant but there was a large choice of non-dairy alternatives as standard, not even needing a special request. We appreciated this as it often feels like an imposition, even in 5 star hotels. The cooked breakfast was excellent. The location was also excellent, being close to the walks, funicular railway and local pubs and restaurants, but also very quiet. We look forward to returning in the future.

What an amazing part of the world. I've always loved the Southwest coast of Australia, but this stretch of coastline is just stunning. We stayed for two nights. Our room was clean, Maria and Clive were very friendly and eager to please. We'd certainly return again. Breakfast was good, not overly greasy for a fry up and sets you up nicely for a days walking. We enjoyed having a coffee in the morning before coming down for breakfast using the ground coffee and press left in our room.

Staff were very friendly and helpful, when they could be found. Room was clean and the bed was comfy and large, however the room was very cold and the radiator did not work. The curtains were also quite old and dirty and so did not close properly.

Comfy, friendly and convenient

Had a great stay this new year in St Vincent's. Our host Emma was very friendly, welcoming and looked after us during our stay, includinga yummy cooked breakfast. The room and whole building was clean and characterful as well as being conveniently located in the middle of town and close to the footpath down to Lynmouth. If staying in Lynton in future, we'd stay at St Vincent's again!

I was in Lynton for a trail marathon over the weekend. Emma was very hospitable and even got up a little early to get me sorted with porridge and coffee before heading out for the race. My room was cosy, just right for 1 person. I would definitely stay here again if I make my way back to Lynton.

A wonderful place to stay in Lynton

We stayed for two nights over New Year and had a wonderful time at the guest house. Emma was in contact before we arrived to make sure the room would be ready for us and to check any requirements we may have, she and everyone else at the guest house were very warm and welcoming throughout our stay. The room and rest of the house was lovely, breakfast was delicious and we were also treated to complementary prosecco on New Year's eve which was a very thoughtful touch!

We couldn't fault our stay and would definitely visit again. Thanks to all at St Vincent!

A welcoming place to stay

This Guest House is very welcoming. You are greeted with a big smile and settled in quickly and smoothly. If you have any issues, there is a can do approach to helping you out. There is a lovely homely lounge for visitors to share inclusive with fridge, games, tv, open fire, and for the adventurous, maps. Breakfast is as large and varied as you could want or need and dietary requirements are met as well as the local supply allows. This was an off-season stay which had plenty to do for a short walking break. We had a lovely stay and would recommend this Guest House.

Last minute booking not a disapointment

Emma was lovely and so was the breakfast. Room downstairs was convenient but a bit noisy with families coming and going. Nice sunny situation but parking can be tricky. Room smaller than it appears to be in picture and the bed was a little smaller than we were used too. Shower room nice and big but shower needs a shelf to put stuff!!! On the whole happy. Area is good for restaurants and walking and has a friendly feel

Two very enjoyable and comfortable nights spent in St Vincents thanks to the efforts of hosts Emma and Mike. the location provides very easy access tour to the local area, all of which is very scenic and beautiful. A very pleasing quiet night with excellent breakfast starts each day. Lynton is a wonderful example of preserving and enhancing the very special elements of a holiday centre without destroying the heritage. The Cliff Railway is a real jewel connecting Lynton to Lynmouth.

The jewel in a sea of serenity

The St Vincent is a true gem of a guest house. We spent two nights ther and felt as if we had been on holiday resting for two weeks. The history and ambience of the house were both intriguing and enchanting, The owners were sincerely welcoming and immediately made us feel at home. Our room was comfortable with a sense of calm and the ease of a old favourite chair. It had all we needed, but there was also a lounge, filled with the air of a family gathering and a dining room where a fabulous breakfast set us up each day. I am reticent in writing a good review as I fear it may book up very quickly, but it will keep me happy thinking that others can enjoy such a wonderful place. We will definitely return.
