Shelleys - A 'Hotel Of The Year' - Lynmouth, United Kingdom

Address: 8 Watersmeet Road, Lynmouth, EX35 6EP

Shelleys - A 'Hotel Of The Year' details: Hotel of the Year 2004: ‘a sophisticated newcomer with bags of style, in beautiful location overlooking Lynmouth Bay.’

Established for well over 200 years, our hotel takes its name from the 19th century English Romantic poet, Percy Bysshe Shelley, who honeymooned at the cottage (then known locally as Mrs. Hooper's Lodgings), with Harriet Westbrook.

Shelley's is an award-winning hotel and a 'Hotel of the Year 04', and commands spectacular, breathtaking sea views across Lynmouth Bay. The hotel itself has been sympathetically refurbished to create a warm, friendly and welcoming ambience.

We have lovingly restored the hotel to a very high standard throughout, and under our personal supervision it has developed its own unique character, elegance and style that come from attention to detail and precise service. As a valued guest, our aim is to make your stay with us truly memorable.

Shelley’s is located on the main road in the centre of the village, close to Glen Lyne Gorge and overlooking Lynmouth Bay. Please unload luggage at the drop-off point in front of Shelley's before parking.

The hotel offers en suite bedrooms and early/late check-in and check-out.

Location

Lynmouth is a village at the confluence of the East and West Lyn rivers, it is much more picturesque than Lynton in the true sense of that word.

The quay and pier were built in the 18th century for the herring fishery, which was once important, and a tower at the end added early in the 19th century by General Rawdon in imitation of the towers on the Rhine.

For centuries local fishermen brought big catches of herring into the harbour, until suddenly in 1797 the fish deserted the coast leaving the impoverished fishermen to turn to smuggling to supplement their incomes.

Whitewashed cottages and shops backed by the dramatic hills and valleys of Exmoor meet the rugged coastline forming the highest sea cliffs in England. Its spectacular beauty inspired famous literary figures such as Wordsworth, Coleridge and Blackmore. Percy Bysshe Shelley, the 19th century English Romantic poet honeymooned there during the summer of 1812 at Mrs Hooper’s Lodgings, now Shelley’s.

Lynmouth was 'discovered' in the first decade of the 19th century when the Napoleonic Wars had closed the Continent to English visitors. As they were unable to make the Grand Tour due to conflict in Europe, the Victorians visited the area, naming it “Little Switzerland” as it reminded them so much of the country.
