Step into this idyllic Devon holiday cottage, nestled in the heart of the majestic Exmoor National Park. Inside the lodge-style property, you’ll find a warm, welcoming interior of wooden panelling, thoughtfully laid-out rooms, and a cosy country feel. With the beautiful Lynmouth Beach just a mile away, you’re perfectly placed for coastal walks, dolphin watching and the famous funicular railway.

Head inside via French doors, and you'll find an open-plan living space with skylights that fill the area with natural light. The kitchen features a mini breakfast bar and a dining table, while the lounge includes comfy sofas surrounding a coal-effect electric fire and a Smart TV for cosy nights in. There are also two inviting bedrooms on the ground floor - one double and one twin - as well as a compact shower room (headlight of shower cubicle 1.9m) for all your needs. When the weather's warm, you can take advantage of the outdoor veranda and picnic bench for drinks or dinner alfresco. You can even fish for trout directly from the property's outdoor space, down a set of steps.

The quaint and charming hamlet of Lynbridge is the perfect spot for a getaway. Located just 1 mile from the coastal village of Lynmouth, this little gem of a locale is home to a stunning shingle beach that’s popular with surfers. Follow the coastal path, and you may be lucky enough to spot dolphins playing in the waters. Take a trip on the funicular railway to explore Lynton, a neighbouring village just 1 mile away. If you’re looking for a bit of adventure, venture 2 miles to the Valley of the Rocks where you can also spot wild goats.

The Lodge is tired and needs some TLC. No torch provided and some issues reported to owner. Lovely location. Soft towels and comfortable bed. WiFi strongest in lounge.

This is a fantastic place to stay with the most amazing views of the river and its wildlife. Convenient for many places to visit and quiet and peaceful.

We had a wonderful week at River View Lodge which is in a beautiful wooded spot above the river where the sound of the water is ever-present. The accommodation is good, really well equipped, and in a lovely location for walking into Lynton along a pretty lane to the cafes, shops and restaurants. We found the range of local food and hospitality exRead morecellent and also very dog friendly so we were able to take our little four legged friend along too. Great for walks in the woods and along the coast, and access to the harbour and beach in Lynmouth. Highly recommend for a base for a lovely Exmoor holiday. Hide
