About The Rockford Inn
Travellers who want a base for walking, cycling or exploring Exmoor National Park will find The Rockford Inn on Church Hill in Lynton a straightforward, practical choice. With just seven rooms, it has the feel of a small, personally-run inn rather than a large hotel, and its location makes it a handy stop for those splitting their time between the moor and the North Devon coastline.
Rooms come with en-suite bathrooms and drinks provided, and the inn covers the basics well: breakfast is served, packed lunches can be arranged for a day out on the trails, and there's a kids' menu for families travelling with children. A restaurant and bar on site are backed up by a snack bar and outdoor seating in the garden, useful for a meal after a long walk, while free WiFi and 24-hour reception cover the practical side of things.
Outside the inn, the surrounding area caters well to active guests, with walking and cycling routes on the doorstep, horse riding and fishing nearby, and further pubs, restaurants and entertainment within easy reach. Free on-site parking makes it simple to come and go for day trips into Exmoor or along the coast.
