Enjoying a beautiful coastal location directly on the waterfront overlooking the river, harbour and the quaint seaside village of Lynmouth, this is a prime spot on Exmoor's National Park's north coast. From the spacious and comfortable open-plan living area, step through the French doors onto the full-length covered balcony offering uninterrupted vistas over Lynmouth Bay and towards the Welsh coast. Not only does it offer breathtaking views, but the terrace provides a perfect place for relaxed breakfasts, relaxed evening meals and a late afternoon G&T whilst taking in the beauty of the surroundings. The immaculate kitchen is equipped with everything you might need, and a large dining area provides plenty of space for sociable mealtimes. Two attractive bedrooms top things off by providing a secluded sanctuary at the end of a long day of exploring. The twin villages of Lynton and Lynmouth come as a pair and are linked by a spectacular cliffside funicular railway that's been in operation since late Victorian times. Between the two of them, you're spoiled for choice when it comes to pubs, restaurants and tea rooms. You're surrounded by spectacular landscapes on all sides, with Exmoor offering an intriguing array of footpaths that blend the... best of coast and country. Explore directly from the village, or hop in the car and venture further afield. Beauty spots like Tarr Steps and The Valley of the Rocks are within a fifteen-minute drive. For a complete change of scene, the surfing beaches of Croyde and Woolacombe are within forty minutes' drive. However, on blustery autumn days, you'll find local surfers descending on Lynmouth to escape the south-westerly winds that blow out the waves at other beaches.

About Exmoor
Straddling Devon and Somerset, Exmoor might be one of the UK’s smaller national parks, but you’d never know it when you’re there. Exmoor’s 700 square kilometres take in endless moors clad in a purple sea of soft heather, babbling rivers, and sheer cliffs that drop into the clear waters of the Atlantic Ocean.
