Overview
Property code: OC-RIVERV

This second-floor apartment is located by the picturesque River Lyn and offers breathtaking views from the balcony. Wake up and treat yourself to breakfast at one of the local cafes or restaurants for the perfect start to your holiday. Or, for an even more tranquil experience, follow the river upstream to the National Trust's Watersmeet House. With so much to see and do, a couples’ escape to Exmoor is sure to be a holiday to remember.

Sitting right on the edge of Lynmouth’s river and looking out across the bay and to the Welsh coast, the apartment’s open-plan living space has been comfortably furnished and equipped with all the essentials for a self-catering stay. Enjoy cosy film nights on the sofa in front of the TV or tuck into romantic home-cooked meals for two at the dining table. The master bedroom with a king-size bed and en-suite shower room ensures a good night’s sleep and a fresh start each day. Step out onto the balcony with a morning coffee and admire the picturesque surroundings.

There are plenty of things to do in the local area. Take in the spectacular sights of the cliff railway, the highest and steepest water-powered railway in the world, travelling between the twin villages of Lynmouth and Lynton (200 metres). Stop by the Valley of the Rocks (2 miles), which boasts some of the highest cliffs in Great Britain, or explore the nearby Tarka Trail or South West Coast Path. Just over 20 miles away lies Ilfracombe, with its abundant eateries, shops and the thought-provoking Damien Hirst statue, 'Verity', perched atop the town's pier.

We really love the apartment however we do feel that the lack of parking i.e. you have to buy a ticket to park your car for the week and the two flights of stairs up to the apartment should be more of a prominent feature with the description of the apartment. The actual location was lovely. We had the door open all the time and could listen to the Read morewater and the wildlife which we really enjoyed. Hide

The main entrance into the Building, looks tired and would look better if repaired and painted, the lower hallway showing signs of water or damp ingress, and the first landing light not always working, it is hit and miss, but overall a lovely apartment.

Refund refused, other accommodation I had to arrange at a further 550. I would and will never book with these people again. There sister company is country cottages, are they as inadequate?

The 2 flights of steep stairs would need to be taken into consideration by anybody perhaps not a 100% fit. I would also strongly advise anyone to invest in a parking permit,available from the tourist information office,35 for a week or 20 for 4 days.

A wondered location for walkers as several spectacular river and coastal walks from the door. Great for visitors with dogs, close to the promenade for walks and meeting lots of other dogs.

The hot water/heating issue is my only issue, and would possibly make me think twice about booking it again. I would love to book it again, but would appreciate any comments about whether I missed something obvious, or not. Thank you. Eddie Markey (Room 3)

Cosy cottage with modern interior. Best location for a cottage to be in Lynmouth. Nothing beats the view from the balcony. Although quite small, it is sufficient for two people to stand or sit. You can overlook the harbour. This prime location comes with the downside of not having private parking. Getting a space at prime time is difficult in LynmoRead moreuth. The two flights of steps are not for the elderly or people with mobility issues. It is very nice, that a pet is welcome here. Hide
