What our customers say about their holidays

  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.

  Glenview is a spacious well equipped property which could comfortably accommodate up to five adults in three bedrooms.

  The kitchen diner is of particular note with all the necessary equipment to self cater. Tea,coffee and powder for the dishwasher are supplied as well as a very kind welcome pack of milk and a bottle of wine. The level of cleanliness is exceptional as well. The property is situated on a fairly busy road which appears to be used as a shortcut to cancel out a couple of miles of the A39. Caution is required when walking from the property as there are no pavements. There is one parking space with steps to the property or a ramp at the other end of the property for further pedestrian access. The garden is mostly at the front but is not secure if you have a dog or a child. The noise from the river has been mentioned but it didn't really bother us. I can highly recommend Glenview as a lovely base for exploring all that this beautiful part of the country has to offer

  The property had everything we could possibly need, although new baking sheets would be useful, and different tog duvets dependent on season would have been helpful.

  Attention to detail was evident in the supply of cleaning materials and instruction booklets. As well as everything we needed to cook. I liked the hand mixer as I’m a baker and was able to indulge in baking a few times. The beds and pillows were all very comfortable and linen lovely and fresh being replaced on a weekly basis. A really nice touch we thought. Another thing we liked was the comfy sofas in the lounge and table and chairs in the kitchen. The location of the house is very convenient to see all the area and the cheap petrol at the garage was a bonus. We ordered our groceries from Tesco to be delivered, and I would suggest others do the same if it is their intention to cook rather than go out. All in all, well recommended and a place we would love to stay at again.

  This is an impeccable property. Well equipped and comfortable as well as having the ‘wow’ factor. A big plus is that the owner welcomes dogs. We met the man who maintains the property and he is an asset- very personable and knowledgeable about the area. The house is also situated in a convenient spot - across the road from the funicular railway and less than a minute from super coffee spots, shops and restaurants. The lovely and unique Lynton cinema is well worth a visit. So many fabulous walks from the front door. Absolutely recommended.
