This romantic hotel delivers beautifully in terms of style. Boutique bedrooms are supremely plush, with elegant baths, silky fabrics and luxury toiletries; the gardens are a tranquil, flower-filled delight. The hotel's chefs cook up own-grown produce for the restaurant. It's all tucked away in the village of Martinhoe, 6 miles west of Lynton.
