  We had another fantastic stay at The Stables in Lynton. It’s a lovely place, perfect for both people and pets, and it’s well set up for disabled access and living. The downstairs area is spacious and comfortable, while upstairs, the accommodation is cleverly split into two wings, each with two bedrooms and a bathroom—ideal for families or groups. It’s incredibly well-equipped with everything you could possibly need, and I have to say, the presentation was immaculate (and I do mean immaculate—not a speck of dirt anywhere!). I could quite happily move in permanently. Lynton and Lynmouth have long been our go-to UK holiday destination, offering a little bit of everything—stunning scenery, fantastic walks, and friendly people. The local shops and restaurants are great, and we always treat ourselves to a takeaway from The Spicy Mare, which we’d highly recommend. The Stables is a hidden gem and makes for a really enjoyable holiday. It’s also a great base for exploring further afield, with plenty of options for day trips to other coastal destinations and places of interest nearby. We’ll definitely be back!

  The Stables is a lovely property right in the centre of Lynton, where we have been regular visitors for decades – testimony to the location! The photos didn’t do the living room and kitchen justice, they were large, bright and airy spaces for relaxing and sharing time with others. We really liked the upstairs arrangement too, where two families could have private bedrooms and bathrooms. The outside space was small but adequate for our needs. It was well equipped, a lot of the cupboards were utilised as storage. There wasn’t a key safe or a safe in the property which sleeps 8, and there is only one key, this made it difficult to be independent without compromising the security of our belongings and corporate equipment, so a key safe would be a ‘wish-list’ item for us. Only a small thing, but the hedge was overgrown making it tricky to comfortably put the gate on and off the hook, but a quick trim would fix that! It was difficult to want for anything in this property, I would put it in the top 5 properties we have visited in this area and I would have no hesitation recommending it.

  Trill is an absolutely beautiful house set in beautiful rolling countryside.

  Beer and Lyme Regis are a few minutes away in a car and the local pub is friendly. Basics were to be found at the local garage, either a five minute drive or a highly recommended and beautiful walk away. There are a few bit that could be better but overall it was a beautiful base for a lovely holiday. Some of the furniture was broken (although usable) and the lack of usable Wi-Fi made itself felt with two teenagers in the house. The road in is pretty awful too, but take it slowly and watch out for the potholes and you’ll be fine. Don’t let this put you off though, being a bit off the beaten track puts you right in heart of the countryside. The local wildlife was a constant joy, with red deer, birds of prey and a menagerie of other species all making an appearance in the beautiful grounds. For eating out River cottage is just around the corner (if you haven’t been, go, it’s incredible) and the local pub serves good honest food too. Faultless? No but the positives of Trill far outweigh any of it’s faults. Highly recommend!

  Perfect cottage in the best location in Beer! The cottage sits on a pretty flower filled pedestrian only path above Beer village. It has incredible views over Beer towards the sea and the little garden is a sun trap all day. The cottage itself is well equipped, bright and comfortable. We especially appreciated the added little touches such as child friendly plates and the child step for the downstairs toilet sink! Our granddaughter absolutely loved spotting the little mice (not real!!) and their houses painted on the skirting boards. The owner has thoughtfully left little homely touches like the well used height measurement on the kitchen door - so sweet to see Oly growing up!!! Also pebbles and shells collected from the beach and painted by previous holidaymakers. The owner is lovely and responded to our messages quickly. Thanks for a magical week (we actually loved it so much we stayed an extra day!) we will be back soon!!

  I have made representation to the management company for this property which I feel has been ignored, so I am addressing the issue through feedback.

  There was a smell of fuel oil throughout the property for our entire stay. It was strongest in the downstairs areas but was present in upstairs and bedrooms. It was a known problem as was made evident by the visit of the owner, who explained an accident causing a leak in the boiler room. The oil had seeped into wooden fittings and caused a lasting stench. We persisted with our holiday managing by leaving downstairs windows open and purchasing diffusers (cost about £30) to mask the smell. There was a fan in the boiler room which we left on 24/7. We were a party of four, one of whom suffered headaches during our stay, whether or not caused by the stench I cannot say but certainly not helped by it. Our holiday was certainly not of the standard we expect and I am expecting compensation for the inconvenience, disappointment and possible health implications
