You can't get any closer to the cliff edge than this boutique beauty – the Lynton–Lynmouth cliff railway trundles past just behind. The views are extraordinary: South Wales in the distance across the sea; russet Exmoor hills to one side. Bedrooms are a gorgeous blend of curved Victorian plasterwork, dark polished woods and bright, snazzy fabrics.
As you breakfast on the suntrap terrace, look out for pods of dolphins, which sometimes appear far below.
