The Rising Sun, Lynmouth

you got to try it if your in the area, its In a beautiful area, I had the oysters and they were fantastic.

In the picturesque coastal village of Lynmouth, close to the harbour at the foot of much photographed Mars Hill, is The Rising Sun Hotel, an attractive 14th Century inn with a thatched roof. The main pub building is small, but the premises extends further up the hill into what looks like originally different buildings and which blend in quite well with the exterior of the main pub. Accommodation is offered and the pub retains an old fashioned AA 2 star yellow sign. The interior features low ceilings, wooden beams and the feel and atmosphere of a rather upmarket traditional country inn. Inevitably, there’s a food emphasis, but traditional bar stools along the length of the counter indicate that drinkers are not discouraged. Outside at the front, stone seats have been constructed against the pub wall and which afford fine views of the harbour and the sea. Beers on were Exmoor Ale, Gold and Stallion. The former - £ 3.10p – was in excellent form. If you’re in Lynmouth, you should try and find time to call in.
