Weve stayed at Number 17 twice before and again it didnt disappoint. Location is amazing. Great to be able to leave your car parked up for the week and do brilliant walks straight from the door. We were lucky with the weather, but think if it was colder parts of the house might feel cold for some people.

Lovely cottage, really well appointed and equipped. Comfy beds, quality fixtures and fittings. The utility room is a good addition. Everything you could want in a holiday home. Parking in the road outside the cottage can be tricky at times but we just parked further along. Just check opening/closing/serving of places in Lynmouth. Also no supermarkeRead moret in Lynmouth or anywhere to get fresh produce/supplies, you have to visit Lynton which is up the hill. Hide

The cottage is tastefully decorated and in an idyllic location, very handy for the lovely walk to Watersmeet and for Lynmouth shops. The funicular railway trip up to Lynton is a must. Parking and pulling out of Tors road onto Countisbury Road can be a little difficult on a busy day.

Great cottage in a very picturesque location, the cottage was immaculate and had high quality equipment and furnishings. A few minutes walk to the shops and pubs in lynmouth and the cliff railway or a 10 minute walk up the hill to Lynton. Parking was limited on our arrival Saturday but was a small car park at the end of the road if you cant parRead morek but would advise to unload the car before driving to end as its a bit of a walk with your bags back to the cottage. Would recommend staying here !! Hide

Number 17 is a lovely property, very clean and comfortable. However, only being able to boost the heating an hour at a time meant when you went out on returning to the property it was cold.
