This stunning waterside holiday cottage is the perfect base for exploring North Devon. Just 450 metres from the pretty village of Lynmouth, it sleeps six and is surrounded by stunning scenery, including the 19th-century fishing lodge of Watersmeet House, managed by the National Trust. With plenty of walking trails and stunning coastlines to experience nearby, this welcoming cottage is the perfect spot for a memorable holiday in Devon.
Enter this peaceful property and enjoy the spacious open-plan lounge/dining area. Relax on comfortable sofas in front of a crackling wood burner, while watching your favourite shows on SkyTV. The large, country-style kitchen, situated off the dining area, is sure to delight keen cooks with its impressive selection of mod cons. The first floor offers a shower room with a WC and two bedrooms: a king-size with mesmerising river views, and a twin with woodland views. Take the cottage-style stairs up to the second floor and find a large twin bedroom, with sloping ceilings and windows that look out over the river and trees. On sunny days, head outside to the pretty, rear courtyard patio and enjoy al fresco dining with a view of the mature forest.
Take a stroll around the village’s quaint shops, pubs and harbour, and be sure to take a ride on the world’s highest and steepest Victorian water-powered funicular railway, which will take you to the twin village of Lynton, 152 metres above. Kids and adults alike will love a ride on the Lynton and Barnstaple Railway, a scenic route through Exmoor National Park, with its main station at Woody Bay, 4 miles from Lynton.
