The best of Lynmouth restaurants
Here at The Rising Sun we are passionate about local food. We serve the very best in fresh seasonal produce, cooked just how you like it. Our menus have something for everyone, from fish lovers to vegetarians, with an ever-changing selection of specials to reflect the best of the coast and countryside. Perfectly complemented with a great wine list and well-kept real ales and ciders.
With a location so close to the sea, we are in an excellent position to make the most of the local catch. Depending on the season, diners can expect anything from prime lobster to fantastically fresh sea bass and local mussels. Quality is everything for us and the only frozen food you will find in our kitchen is the ice cream!
Non-residents are very welcome to eat at The Rising Sun, but we do recommend booking a table during busy times.

A great spot overlooking the harbour
A lovely hotel with a great spot overlooking the harbour. The room we had was up a steepish hill, but this wasn't a problem for us. The view was amazing from the room, and the king size bed was extremely comfy. Breakfast was plentiful and you didn't feel at all rushed. All in all, a great stay and felt very relaxed.
Emma on TripAdvisorA great historic hotel next to the pier
A great historic hotel next to the pier, it was a great experience. The food was very good, the staff very friendly, and the room was in very good condition and clean. Great place to stay if you're travelling to Lynmouth! The pub is spectacular too! I highly recommend visiting/staying at this place!!
Jesus on Booking.comThe best smoked salmon and scrambled eggs I have ever had
We had a lovely stay at The Rising Sun. The staff were wonderful and the food was great. The breakfast was particularly good. The best smoked salmon and scrambled eggs I have ever had. Our room overlooked the harbour with wonderful views of the coast and the town. The room was very comfortable. The hotel is 5 minutes' walk from the funicular which takes you up to Lynton.
Lyn on TripAdvisorA modern bathroom in a 14th century hotel
A modern bathroom in a 14th century hotel was definitely not expected. Wi-Fi worked in the room. The staff were friendly and efficient. Breakfast provided a good selection, and the cooked items were really good. Sunday lunch was close to home made with plenty of different vegetables. Will definitely return!
David on ExpediaSea view from every window
Travelled with my husband and my parents and stayed at The Rising Sun for one night. We had paid a little extra to get good rooms, but we never expected the quality of the rooms given to us. Big, airy, and cool with a direct entrance out to the sea. Sea view from every window and extremely clean. The breakfast was perfect with everything we needed, and it was served inside the charming old pub. We could not fault it!
