Review summary

Powered by AI
East Lyn House enjoys a superb location right on the East Lyn River, offering peace and tranquility. Guests commonly appreciate the spacious and clean rooms, some of which feature lovely views of the river and the harbour. Breakfast is a highlight, with a very good choice of cooked and continental options, and can be enjoyed on the wonderful terrace. On-site parking is a real bonus, though a few guests found the beds too soft for their liking.

Acceptable stay with minor issues

good breakfastsoft bedshower safety
the breakfast was quite good and satisfied my morning hunger
the bed was excessively soft i found this impacted my sleep negatively a shower mat in the bathroom would improve safety as the floor became slippery when wet it wasn't clear that the hotel had a dog i selected it assuming it was pet-free

the location was superb. i loved the excellent views from the windows in my room. breakfast was also a standout, with a very good choice of options each morning! the on-site parking was a real bonus, especially given how limited parking is in the area.
I found the bed far too soft for my liking. it made it difficult to get a good night's sleep. A firmer mattress would make a big difference.

the bed was far too soft for my liking. i tossed and turned. a shower mat would have been a nice addition in the bathroom, i nearly slipped. i wasnt thrilled to discover they had a dog since the listing specified no pets.

the location was great! it was very close to the town. my room was dual aspect and one window looked down on the river. it was so pretty and i loved the sound of the water!!!
the bed was far too soft for my liking. i think the shower would benefit from a shower mat to prevent slipping. i think it should have been made clearer that they had a dog. i choose that b and b because it said no pets.
